Consultation/Communication Implications
The application was not required to be advertised.
Applicant’s Justification
"On the basis of this revised proposal, Council is asked to reconsider Condition 1 of its
approval of 21 June 2012, making condition 1 applicable only to Units 1 and 2 and
allowing Units 3-8 inclusive to be used as offices.
In support of this request, we provide the following information.
1. The subject premises are ageing and tired and no longer an aesthetic asset to
the Balcatta area. Scope Property Group has acquired the site in order to carry
out a major upgrade. Figure 1 shows a photo of the premises as they currently
exist and a perspective drawing of the renovations proposed for comparison. It
can be seen that the renovations represent a major upgrading of the site.
