Estee Gordon and Stephanie Addison-Brown left the meeting.

10.1.3 Outgoing Goodwill Tour (Helena Sahm / Melinda Whiteley)

Following the participating tour parents meeting with City of Bunbury staff in July, a

majority vote was held to move from Malaysian Airlines carrier to Singapore Airlines. This

was based on parents’ confidence in the overall safety of the carrier and whether it would

be solvent at the time of the tour. An increase in $400 meant only one child was unable to

continue. This position was taken up by another deserving student. Sue suggested the child

who was unable to attend be placed at the top of next year’s list.

Melinda Whiteley, Tour Leader reported on the recent activities of the students including

the camp and meetings. Uniforms have arrived and the students are working hard on their

songs. Camp was a success and the students have been paired up. Setagaya will advise very

soon the homestay families. At the camp they worked on craft activities for gifts while they

are away including a glass jar with shells, calendar of Bunbury and kangaroo finger puppets.

Fundraising has begun which is Krispy Kreme Donuts. Orders are due next week with

delivery on Saturday 13 September. There will also be an additional fundraiser which is a

Chinese Buffet Luncheon on 31 August (invitation attached). Cr McCleary asked Jaimee to

send the invitation to all Councillors. Melinda asked Valda for her assistance with the

homestay presentation at the meeting on 4 September 2014. Valda agreed.

10.1.4 Promotional material and 20 Year Commemorative Book (Helena Sahm)

- All publications were due for print completion in July. As a result of fine tuning the

publications including text and sourcing quality photos the estimated time for printing

is end of August. Helena passed around a chronological list for the Committee to

review. Helena thanked Anna Edmondson and Pauline for their hard work.

- Folder is due for printing with inclusions made by Anna and Pauline

- Banner still has questions around it regarding its content. Anna and Pauline working on

this. Concerns were the text was too ‘wordy’ and needed finessing.

- Anna and Pauline have been working towards the book finalisation. Due to changes

required that include text modification and additional photos the quote has increased

from $1,800 to $2,500. Further changes will incur additional costs. Better quality

photos to be sourced and some editing of text required.

- Book launch dates to be decided 24 or 25 September. With input of committee to

develop an invitation list. Melinda advised the Mayoral Farewell Civic Reception for the

students is being held on 25 September – the Committee agreed the book launch could

be incorporated into this event.

1. Background

1.1 Introduction

This Local Planning Scheme Amendment Report has been prepared for the purposes of effecting an amendment to the City of Bunbury Town Planning Scheme No. 7 (TPS7) for Lot 8 Ocean Drive, Bunbury – known as ‘Hungry Hollow’.

The purpose of the proposed Scheme Amendment is to allow for an appropriate range of mixed use tourism development including: unrestricted residential accommodation; short-stay accommodation; reception centre; shop; and, restaurant. The Scheme Amendment contains controls to regulate the development through the requirement to prepare a Local Development Plan, previously known as a Detailed Area Plan. The LDP will ensure that the development achieves the key objective of good design, including providing an active frontage to Ocean Drive, whilst respecting and minimising any impact on surrounding development.

1.2 Geographical Context

1.2.1 Location of Subject Land

The subject site comprises Lot 8 Ocean Drive, Bunbury, and has a total lot area of 1944.64m². The site located on the corner of Ocean Drive and William Street is identified as an important amenity in the City’s Local Planning Strategy for Tourism, providing an active frontage to Ocean Drive. The site is roughly square in shape. The site is located approximately 1.4km from Victoria ST, CBD; Bunbury Surf Lifesaving Club 1km; and, Marlston waterfront 2.5km.

The site benefits from expansive views to the west over the Indian Ocean.

Site levels rise from west to east.

1.3 Land Use & Development Context

1.3.1 Historical and Existing Land Use

Under the current TPS7 the site is zoned S.U.32 - ‘Restaurant’.

A restaurant has been in operation on the lot since 1963; the land use remains as restaurant.

The coastal precinct north and south of this site has historically been slow to develop to its true potential. There are a number of Special Use Sites along Ocean Drive with the intention of enabling and delivering tourism development. It is recognised that Ocean Drive needs a catalyst to help promote a high standard of mixed use development, commensurate to the locational assets that the area benefits from. The City is currently working on a number of projects, including the proposed Back Beach Tourism Mixed Use Precinct, with a view to promoting tourism, commercial, and mixed use residential accommodation along Ocean Drive.

1.3.2 Opportunities & Constraints

The main opportunities for the site include:

Potential for the redevelopment of an existing brownfield site.

Reinforce function and character as ‘Indian Ocean Entry’ to CBD;

Support provision of strategically located tourism oriented nodes providing a limited range of commercial activity;

Provide active frontage to Ocean Drive;

Maximising the strategic location of the site facing the Indian Ocean;

Utilising existing vehicular access off William Street;

Growing the coastal-based tourism experience;

Demonstration of water sensitive urban design;

Development type, bulk and mass to respond sympathetically to surrounding lower scale residential development;

High quality urban design.



The main challenges include:

Development needs to be responsive to the constraints of the restricted size of the lot;

Building bulk and form could dominate the adjacent beachfront and residential areas, resulting in a loss of outlook, amenity and privacy;

Parking provision;

Not well served by public transport;

Microclimate.

1.4 Planning Context

State Planning Policies

The proposal is consistent with the State Planning Strategy (1997) and its general vision for the South West Region in relation to tourist development, which states as an objective:

“… recognise tourism as a legitimate land use compatible with a range of existing land uses and incorporate into future regional planning strategies and town planning schemes.”

The (Draft) State Planning Strategy (2012) makes reference to “Bunbury positioning to become the State’s second CBD” to Perth (page 26). Therefore the proposed Scheme Amendment will support Bunbury’s growth, creating the opportunity for economic benefits to the region. The proposed development also provides the opportunity to enhance a key natural asset (the coast) of the State and help deliver an opportunity to enjoy a high quality of living.

State Planning Policy No. 2 Environment and Natural Resources Policy

State Planning Policy No. 2 sets out the broad environment and resource management policies for sustainability, including measures to:

• Safeguard and enhance areas of environmental significance on the coast, including the marine environment. • Ensure use and development on or adjacent to the coast is compatible with its future sustainable use for conservation, recreation and tourism in appropriate areas. • Take into account the potential for impacts from changes in climate and weather on human activities and cultural heritage including coastal and urban communities, natural systems and water resources.

State Planning Policy No. 2.6: State Coastal Planning Policy (July 2013)

State Planning Policy No. 2.6: State Coastal Planning Policy (SPP2.6) addresses land use planning and development issues specifically as they relate to the protection and management of the coast. It also provides higher order guidance for decision making on coastal planning matters across the State. The objectives of the policy are to:

1. ensure that the location of coastal facilities and development takes into account coastal processes, landform stability, coastal hazards, climate change and biophysical criteria;

2. ensure the identification of appropriate areas for the sustainable use of the coast for housing, tourism, recreation, ocean access, maritime industry, commercial and other activities;

3. provide for public coastal foreshore reserves and access to them on the coast; and

4. protect, conserve and enhance coastal values, particularly in areas of landscape, nature conservation, indigenous and cultural significance.

The provisions of Section 5.4 – Building Height Limits apply to all urban development within 300 metres of



the horizontal shoreline datum (i.e. the coastline). As the subject site is located within this setback area, SPP2.6 requires that the maximum heights of buildings are in accordance with the Local Planning Scheme and/or Structure Plan in order to achieve outcomes which respond to the desired character, built form and amenity of the locality.

State Planning Policy No. 3.4: Natural Hazards and Disasters

State Planning Policy No. 3.4: Natural Hazards and Disasters (SPP3.4) addresses a number of natural hazards including floods, bush fire, landslides, earthquakes, cyclonic activity, coastal erosion, severe storms, storm surges and tsunamis. Statutory and non-statutory planning documents should have regard to the natural elements that may contribute to the occurrence of natural hazards including climate, geology, soils, vegetation cover, slopes, landforms and hydrology.

As with SPP 2.6, the impact of development on the surrounding coastal environment including its susceptibility to flooding needs to be satisfactorily addressed by future development proposals.

Liveable Neighbourhoods & Residential Design Codes

The Western Australian Planning Commission’s (WAPC) operational policy titled Liveable Neighbourhoods (Edition 4 October 2008) was prepared as a mechanism for implementing the objectives of the State Planning Strategy. This document aims to guide the sustainable development of Western Australia to 2029. Liveable Neighbourhoods operates as a development control policy, or code, that seeks to facilitate the development of sustainable communities.

Liveable Neighbourhoods promotes the objective of appropriate mixed land use. It gives guidance as to the design of urban and suburban neighbourhood structures that can accommodate a range of uses that are sufficiently flexible to evolve over time and incorporates the aims of:

providing urban structures that offer walkable, mixed use neighbourhoods thereby reducing car dependence for access to work, shopping and community facilities;

providing interconnected street networks which facilitate safe, efficient and pleasant walking, cycling and driving;

facilitating mixed-use urban developments which provide a wide range of living and employment opportunities; and

maximising land efficiency wherever possible.

Reference is also made to the supplementary design codes introduced for multiple dwellings to State Planning Policy 3.1 Residential Design Codes (R-Codes), which provides complementary information and provisions for designing higher density mixed use developments.

Development Control Policies

There are no Development Control Policies directly relevant to this Scheme Amendment.

Draft Greater Bunbury Strategy 2011

The Department of Planning’s Draft Greater Bunbury Strategy (released June 2011), guides urban and regional land use planning, growth and infrastructure delivery over long term horizons (to 2031 and beyond). A component of the Draft Greater Bunbury Strategy is the Greater Bunbury Structure Plan, which breaks the sub-region into eight land use categories and provides guidance for each.

The Strategy, in part, flags the importance of a prosperous economy and identifies the need to promote and support a broader range of tourism opportunities including attractions, networks and accommodation,



building on existing regional assets and infrastructure. In this regard it acknowledges Bunbury’s waterfront and beaches are an important part of Greater Bunbury’s identity, and hence, are strategically important economic and social assets and features to the region.

Greater Bunbury Region Scheme

The Greater Bunbury Region Scheme (GBRS) was gazetted on 25 January 2008, as the statutory Region Planning Scheme with the aim of promoting the sustainable environmental, social and economic development of the Region’s natural and physical resources.

The subject site is situated in the “Urban” zone, the objective of which is to provide for residential development and associated employment, tourism facilities, recreation and open space, shopping facilities, schools and other community facilities.

1.4.2 Local Planning Policy Framework

Strategic Community Plan

The Strategic Community Plan: Bunbury 2030 has been recently adopted (June 2013). It builds on the earlier City Vision Strategy and is the City of Bubury’s highest level policy document. It contains Council’s direction and key goals and objectives in accordance with the following broad vision statement:

Bunbury will continue to be recognised as the capital City of the South West region, with a strong and diverse economy offering a safe, friendly and vibrant lifestyle within an attractive natural and built environment.

It is anticipated that the site and the proposed Special Use designation will play an important role in creating an environment that will attract new local business (Goal 2, Objective 2.3), grow visitor numbers (Goal 2, Objective 2.2), support housing options (Goal 4, Objective 4.1), improve urban design (Goal 3, Objective 3.1), and add to a sense of place, character and identity in the City (Goal 4, Objective 4.4).

Local Planning Strategy for Tourism

The proposal is consistent with the Local Planning Strategy for Tourism (LPS-T) adopted by Council in May 2009. The LPS-T provides a framework and set of recommendations for the planning, development and management of the city’s tourism. The LPS-T is a policy mechanism that informs amendments, reviews and development applications by acting in the place of a Local Planning Strategy. Nevertheless, with the adoption of a Local Planning Strategy, the LPS-T will continue as a detailed supporting strategy that will be reviewed in order to inform a subsequent review of the overarching Local Planning Strategy.

The Strategy objective for the Ocean Beach area is to provide a range of short stay tourist accommodation with ocean orientation and easy access to the beach and further enhance facilities for the Ocean Beach area.

The Strategy acknowledges that Ocean Beach is a major physical feature that helps define the City. It is also a highly valued recreation area and an area that presents significant opportunities for tourist developments. The Coastal Enhancement Project has substantially improved the beachscape and is providing a catalyst for tourism investment. Further enhancement will establish Ocean Beach as one of the premier tourist destinations and recreation areas in the state.

The LPS-T describes the setting of Ocean Drive STL as follows:

Ocean Drive provides an impressive southern entrance into the heart of the City. With the exception of the Bunbury Surf Lifesaving Club and Ex-tensions Restaurant, the coastal foreshore is undeveloped. Landscaping and amenity up-grading is ongoing as part of the Bunbury Coastal Enhancement Project. The coastal enhancement program currently underway along Ocean Drive delivers new footpaths, public car parking provision, beach access, seating areas, revegetation of dunes, all of which will help to improve the appearance and amenities associated with this section of foreshore.

On the eastern side of Ocean Drive, the built form comprises a mix of new and older styled residential property, however this character is changing with the vibrant housing market driving residential redevelopment and modernisation. Besides the 2 motels, commercial activity is limited to the Hungry Hollow Restaurant, located at the junction of William St and Ocean Drive.

Hungry Hollow is identified as a ‘Minor Mixed Use Tourism Activity Node’. The Strategy recognises that the public interface on the landward side of Ocean Drive is weak and needs to be encouraged to develop, and that, furthermore, any new commercial development that is proposed adjacent to Ocean Drive should be encouraged to provide an element of active frontage and address linkages with the beach. The proposed



scheme amendment will be consistent with meeting the objective of the Strategy. A condition of the Special Use is that an active frontage is provided at ground floor level to address Ocean Drive.

Local Planning Strategy (Proposed)

The City of Bunbury is in the process of preparing its inaugural Local Planning Strategy. This document will present strategic guiding directions and principles of land use planning and design for the city, and is designed to bridge the high level goals and vision found within the Strategic Community Plan and City Vision Strategy, with the zoning and provisions to be captured in the forthcoming revised Local Planning Strategy No. 8 (LPS8).

A Local Planning Strategy - Discussion Paper was released in September 2012, which confirms Ocean Drive as a coastal recreation and tourism-oriented mixed use corridor that requires its own land use and design / development g u i d e l i n e s . The core strategic planning intention for this corridor is to maintain the precedence of tourism-oriented uses on tourism zoned land and to encourage appropriate forms of development as part of an integrated planning strategy for the city.

A draft Local Planning Strategy is anticipated to be formally advertised before the end of 2013.

Local Planning Policy: Building Height

This Local Planning Policy, which commenced operation in 2009, establishes a logical framework of building height limitations in order to balance opportunities for development with the need to maintain important aspects of Bunbury’s recognised character, amenity and identity such as view sheds.

The policy designates maximum building heights in the Ocean Beach North precinct within which the subject site is situated. The Policy identifies a maximum height limit of 15m, subject to justification through addressing the performance criteria of the policy, which requires a Development Impact Assessment to address matters of: views of significance from public viewpoints; overshadowing; impact on adjacent properties etc. Following the submission of a Development Impact Assessment Council resolved at its meeting of 4th February 2014 to advertise the Scheme Amendment to include: ‘A maximum height of 18 metres (near the intersection of William and Ocean Drive) with an average height for the development of 15 metres’

Local Planning Policy: Unrestricted Residential Accommodation

Unrestricted Residential Accommodation (URA) and Unrestricted Residential Occupation (URO) are land use terms set by the city to define the alternative use of a dwelling for either short stay accommodation or for permanent habitation. “Unrestricted Residential Accommodation” is defined, in TPS7, as:

Premises comprising a dwelling or dwellings (either single, grouped or multiple) that benefit from extended rights in that they may be occupied either permanently as a residential dwelling, or temporarily for short-stay accommodation.

Coupling permanent residential use with an URA use gives owners and investors the flexibility of using a dwelling for either long term residence or short term let. The policy guides and regulates this use of the land, and includes the following objectives:

(a) to broaden the scope of short stay accommodation options available to those visiting the City;

(b) to enhance the depth and variety of the visitor experience within strategically important tourism locations;

(c) to provide landowners and investors with greater flexibility in the use and leasing of residential



property; and

(d) to seek to ensure that premises with uses recognised as either Unrestricted Residential Accommodation or Unrestricted Residential Occupation are:

located within supportive environments;



appropriate to their immediate setting;

suited to the purpose in terms of building form and design; and

managed in an orderly and considerate manner.

The policy notes that URA as a dual use will only be considered for support within Special Use Zones and applications involving new build single, grouped or multiple dwellings, or a change (extension) of use of existing multiple dwellings, where this relates to all units on the lot or a logical discrete part of the block. The proposal is consistent with the intent and application of the policy and aims to be responsive to the mixing of permanent residents and short stay occupiers.

Local Planning Policy: Access and Parking for Pedestrians, Bicycles and Vehicles

This Local Planning Policy (LPP) commenced operation in December 2010, with the intent to ensure that the transport needs of the community are adequately met by the associated use and development of land within the city. More specifically, the policy aims to guide exercising of discretion in the determination of applications for planning approval with respect to the provision of parking and/or access for pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles. The LPP applies to all land within the City of Bunbury, including the subject site.

The LPP complements the Scheme by providing a comprehensive guide to required access and parking standards in land use and development and in addressing such matters as cash-in-lieu and reciprocal and shared parking and access arrangements. Elements of this policy will need to be considered in subsequent planning processes and ultimately the assessment of any future development proposals for the site.

The parking requirements will be addressed through the Local Development Plan.

Other Local Planning Policies

The LPP’s listed above are not exhaustive and other adopted policies may have relevance during the planning layout and design stages.

Local Planning Scheme (TPS7)

Scheme Text

The City of Bunbury Town (Local) Planning Scheme No 7 is a district-wide scheme that deals with the more detailed development requirements. The Scheme is supplemented by a series of Local Planning Policies made under the provisions of the Scheme, referred to above.

The land is currently zoned 'Special Site - Restaurant' to reflect the existing development which is the Hungry Hollow restaurant. Special use zones are used in Schemes to deal with developments that either do not fit comfortably into another zone; or those developments where the Council needs to ensure that the specified development is restricted to the defined use and conditions as set out for that special use.

The special uses are listed in Schedule 2 of the Scheme. The subject land is defined as Special Use No. 32 as shown below.

2. Any development application will need to address the issue of building height, bulk and visual amenity, particularly in relation to adjoining residential development and impact on the appearance of the Bunbury Back Beach foreshore.

3. The effectiveness of the parking provisions must be monitored and appropriate steps must be taken by Council and the owners of the lots if those provisions are found to be inadequate.

Other Relevant Projects and Strategies

City of Bunbury Back Beach Tourism Precinct Plan

In August 2012 the Council released a draft concept plan for the Back Beach Tourism area. The closest part of this precinct is located about 450 north of the subject land and therefore has no direct impact on this proposal.

However, the detail accepted by the Council in this draft concept plan, is relevant. The concept plan acknowledges the importance of selecting the appropriate locations for activity nodes. The Scott Street intersection with Ocean Drive has been identified as the location for a tourism mixed use activity node with a mix of land uses including, restaurant, small bar, unrestricted residential accommodation as well as a mix of other commercial uses. Building heights for the precinct are promoted as 3-5 stories on the beach front, in accordance with the Building Heights Policy.

It is clear that the intersection of Ocean Drive and William Street is also one of the most important links in an east-west direction. As the ocean-side sites are developed into a significant destination the William Street access will become increasingly important.

Recognition of selected sites best suited for landmark developments echoes good urban design principles, as recognised in the Back Beach Tourism Precinct Concept Plan. The provision of a landmark building provides an orientation for visitors and residents and invites the presentation of an innovative building. Corner expressions are supported and it is noted that a number of corners within development precincts will be prominent from the public domain, marking intersections and terminations of key views. In the case of the subject site the Heights Policy allows an increase in height to 15m, where such height can be justified through addressing performance criteria, to provide expression. Following the submission of a Development Impact Assessment Council resolved at its meeting of 4th February 2014 to advertise the Scheme Amendment to include: ‘A maximum height of 18 metres (near the intersection of William and Ocean Drive) with an average height for the development of 15 metres’

City of Bunbury Tourism Strategy

While the City of Bunbury Tourism (Destination) Strategy 2009 – 2014 (April 2009 revised 2010) is not a statutory planning instrument, it provides relevant information on tourism values generally, the potential of the site and its surrounds. The stated purpose of the Tourism Strategy is to act as a corporate strategic plan for defining the city’s role in tourism development and marketing over a five year period.

The Tourism Strategy identifies that new tourist accommodation in a range of market sectors (particularly high end) is desirable, and that commercial nodes along Back Beach to activate tourism are currently limited.

1.5 Scheme Amendment Procedure

The proposed amendment has been prepared by the City’s Statutory Planning department, and progressed in accordance with both the Planning and Development Act 2005 (sections 75 and 84) and the Town Planning Regulations 1967.

To date, the proposed amendment has not been formally assessed by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA). The referral of all scheme amendments to the EPA is a requirement under section 81 of the Planning and Development Act 2005, which obliges local governments to refer any scheme amendment to the EPA upon resolution to prepare or adopt an amendment to the Local Planning Scheme (i.e. TPS7). This referral is to enable the EPA to discharge its responsibilities under section 48A of the Environmental



Protection Act 1986.



It is expected that the proposed amendment will not require an Environmental Review in accordance with section 48C(1)(a) of the Environmental Protection Act 1986, as there are no known significant environmental impacts generated by the proposal. Therefore, it is expected that instead of requiring an Environmental Review, the EPA may give ‘informal advice’. The recommendations of any informal advice may then be used to inform the Region Scheme Compliance Omnibus Amendment (e.g. inclusion of any relevant Environmental Conditions).

Following granting of consent by the WAPC to proceed with the amendment, the proposal would be advertised for public comment for a period of not less than 42 days in accordance with the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2005.

On completion of advertising, the scheme amending documentation is to be referred back to Council for its second consideration to finally adopt. Should Council then resolve to adopt the amendment, the scheme amending documentation is to be referred to the WAPC for its endorsement and referral to the Minister for Planning for final approval and gazettal.

1.6 Community & Stakeholder Consultation

Once the WAPC grants permission to the Local Government to publicly advertise the proposed amendment, public notices will be placed in locally circulated newspapers and also referred to the EPA for its consideration for Environmental Review in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1986.

In accordance with both the Planning and Development Act 2005 and the Town Planning Regulations 1967, the proposed amendment is to be referred to all relevant State government agencies and publicly advertised for comment during a formal advertising period of 42 days.

Council must take into account any submissions received during the public advertising period prior to final adoption of the proposed amendment. The submissions, together with the scheme amending documentation and Council’s resolution, are then to be forwarded on to the WAPC for its endorsement and final approval by the Minister for Planning.

Public advertising dates and submission forms can be downloaded from the Public Notices and Advertisements page of the City’s website at www.bunbury.wa.gov.au.

Submissions can be lodged during the public advertising period in person at Council’s administration centre located at 4 Stephen Street, or alternatively posted to:

2.0 Proposal

2.1 Purpose

This Local Planning Scheme Amendment Report has been prepared for the purposes of effecting an amendment to the City of Bunbury Town Planning Scheme No. 7 (TPS7) to rezone the subject site (Lot 8 Ocean Drive) to Special Use Zone 32 - ‘Special Use Zone No. 32 – Tourism Mixed Use’

The Amendment provides an opportunity to facilitate a comprehensive redevelopment of the subject land for a mix of uses, including a restaurant, short-stay accommodation, shop, and residential uses.

2.2 Aim & Intent

The Scheme Amendment will facilitate a broader spectrum of appropriate uses that will help meet the City’s objectives for enhancing the Ocean Drive corridor as an important tourism and economic asset.

This Scheme Amendment proposal seeks to establish statutory control and guidance to regulate and positively manage development brought forward through the Special Use Zone. Integral to this is the requirement for the preparation of a Local Development Plan (LDP), which will set out detailed provisions and standards to achieve a high quality development. The requirements are set out in the Conditions Column of the revised Special Use Zone.

2.3 Ecological Sustainability / Impact

Natural Environment

The lot comprises a brownfield site and is clear of native vegetation. No flora or fauna report has been prepared.

A Local Water Management Strategy will ensure that any environmental impacts that may occur by virtue of redevelopment of the site, such as mitigation of flood risk, are taken into account.

The site is identified as being of low to nil risk of Acid Sulphate Soils (ASS).

Built Environment

The built environment will form part of the long term plan to support tourism/mixed use development along the Ocean Drive corridor. The redevelopment of the site will provide an opportunity to provide high quality development that can play an important role in the streetscape, located on a strategic corner lot identified as an important tourism node. The opportunity for providing a corner landmark building that has a positive impact on the character and appearance of the area is supported. The detailed consideration, including height, will be through the Local Development Plan and the Development Application.

Social Environment

The proposal will encourage a mix of housing types. Development would benefit from the locational assets of the site, opposite the Indian Ocean. The re-development of the site may also help deliver a trend for higher quality ocean-facing developments thus enhancing the social environment along Ocean Drive.

The new development proposed would include residential apartments above the restaurant / commercial development, providing the opportunity for a high quality mixed use development.



Cultural Heritage

The site is not listed on the City’s Municipal Inventory or State Register of Heritage Places, and is assessed as having no known heritage value.

Economic Issues

The rezoning of the site will deliver a net benefit to the economy facilitating growth in the tourism industry and commercial aspects arising from the development.

The site is currently used as a restaurant and the rezoning would allow a greater mix of uses to maximize the potential of the site, whilst respecting the existing development in the locality.



3.0 Conclusion & Recommendations

3.1 Conclusion

The proposal is consistent with planning policy and provides the opportunity to deliver a high quality mixed use tourism-orientated development.

The Scheme Amendment Report encourages an integrated approach to the long term redevelopment of the site, having regards to its surrounding land uses and wider context.

The Scheme Amendment is put forward as the proposed land uses are supported to deliver the objectives (mixed use tourism development) of the City along the Ocean Drive corridor. The design considerations to achieve an efficient use of land whilst respecting adjoining development will be controlled through the submission of a Local Development Plan, as required by the Amended Conditions.

3.2 Recommendations

The following recommendations are made to progress proposed Scheme Amendment 70 to the City of Bunbury Town Planning Scheme No. 7:

A. The Local Government, in pursuance of the Planning and Development Act 2005, amend the above Local Planning Scheme by making modifications to the Scheme Text and Scheme Map, as detailed in the Local Planning Scheme Amendment Report by:

(a) Replacing the existing text in the table under Schedule 2 – Special Use Zones at No. 32;

(b) Amending the Scheme Map to include the description ‘S.U 32 – Tourism Mixed Use.

Height is restricted to two (2) storeys.

No part of development to be built above the right of way vehicle entrance to #127 Ocean Drive.

Support noted. Comments – Detailed planning matters such as set back requirements, car parking etc. will be assessed through the requirement for a Local Development Plan. It is noted that Council resolved to initiate and advertise the Scheme Amendment with a height of 18m. The recommendation of Development Assessment is that the maximum height should be in accordance with the adopted LPP: Signage and Advertisements. The Local Development Plan would identify building outlines and take account of any easement (right of access) on the title.

mailto:[email protected]



9 B & J Van De Ruit 8/127 Ocean Drive, BUNBURY WA 6230

Supports the development in principle as the proposal will be a positive step in the redevelopment of the area. Concerns are noted in regards to:

Main concern relates to the increase in height from 12m to 18m as this will be out of character with the surrounding residential area.

The variety of uses proposed is overstated considering the size of the property.

If an increase is to be permitted, this should be restricted to a maximum of 15 metres in height at the corner of Ocean Drive and William St, and stepped down to 12m.

Car parking needs careful consideration as parking is limited.

Support noted. Comments – It is noted that Council resolved to initiate and advertise the Scheme Amendment with a height of 18m. The recommendation of Development Assessment is that the maximum height should be in accordance with the LPP. The proposed land uses are considered appropriate having regards to both the State and City’s Local Planning Policy Framework. The matter of car parking will be dealt with through the Local Development Plan, in accordance with the car parking requirements of the Scheme.

10 Dora Dalton 143 Ocean Drive BUNBURY WA 6230

Supports the:

‘D’ uses contained in Schedule 2 on proviso that service road is retained by those houses within the area

Objects:

Objects strongly to the inclusion of ‘A’ uses in Schedule 2 list due to issues of traffic management, parking, noise affecting adjoining residential area and potential devaluation of existing properties.

Support noted. Comments – Condition 1 (c) iv. of the Special Use requires the submission of a Traffic Management Plan to address traffic generation and access. Parking will be in accordance with the Scheme and will be addressed in the Local Development Plan. Noise – The principle of the land use are considered compatible. The specific operational or design requirements (dependent upon the use) will be dealt with either as part of the Local Development Plan or through assessment at Development Application stage.

Public Submissions - Objection

11 Janice Edwards 141 Ocean Objects: Noted.

Drive BUNBURY WA 6230

Parking, people traffic across Ocean Drive & William Street, with the increased vehicle traffic & hoons.

Comments - Condition 1 (c) iv. of the Special Use requires the submission of a Traffic Management Plan to address traffic generation and access.

12 Barry & Daphne Bastow 9/127 Ocean Drive BUNBURY WA 6230

Objects:

Number of permitted uses under the rezoning is too much for a small site. Suggest limiting uses in line with amount of car parking required for each use.

The current building height is restricted to 12 metres in height, with an extension to 15 metres in exceptional circumstances. There are no such exceptional circumstances.

Parking is already limited for a single storey restaurant, so it is impossible for the parking on site to meet the demands of the potential three storey building.

Objects:

Amenity of area will be affected.

Increased traffic flow – slow driving tourists – frustrating for locals.

Increased parking issues – patrons currently use public parking on Ocean Drive demonstrating onsite parking insufficient currently.

Loss of quiet, casual venue & well priced food– local people support the business, tourism is seasonal.

Loss of older, iconic building – loss of landmark building will add to Bunbury’s loss of individuality.

Existing business is focused on local people and is not dependant upon tourism, which is seasonal.

Noted Comments - Condition 1 (c) iv. of the Special Use requires the submission of a Traffic Management Plan to address traffic generation and access. The land use restaurant will continue to be an appropriate use on the lot. It is the commercial decision of the operator what service is provided. The building is not heritage listed. The proposed land uses will support tourism development.

Tom Price (Frank Price) 137 Ocean Drive BUNBURY WA 6230

Objects:

Intersection of Ocean Drive and William St is a notorious spot for accidents and near misses and is already too busy for the existing facility.

Any intensification of use will require upgrading of William St and traffic management at the intersection with Ocean Drive.

Any multi-story car park will result in greater traffic congestion day and night.

Is access to be from Ocean Drive or William St or both? – Both are bad ideas.

Significant and lengthy disruption to traffic during the construction phase.

Noted. Comments - Condition 1 (c) iv. of the Special Use requires the submission of a Traffic Management Plan to address traffic generation and access. Hungry Hollow is identified as a “Minor Mixed Use Tourism Activity Nose’. The proposed land uses would be consistent with State and Local Planning Framework.

Refute Planwest statement that the development would enhance the social environment;

Planwest assert that antisocial behaviour of the existing restaurant has been addressed through communication with Council and adhered to by the management and owner. This is incorrect. Residents stopped contacting the Council after Rangers advices that would not be available after 8pm. There has been no consultation between the Council and residents in this regard.

The existing business still has incidents of anti-social behaviour, parking issues, dangerous driving and near misses.

Comments:

Not against development or tourist attractions. However, residents are against the wrong development in the wrong place.

Suggest old Punchbowl caravan park site is better suited for the proposed land uses.

Comments:

Suggests a reconsideration of the ability of the site to become 100% residential (URA) since Back Beach Structure Plan key objectives are to create a vibrant tourism precinct.

The site is not identified as a major tourism site and there is currently no requirement under the current zoning. URA provides the opportunity for both permanent residential and/or temporary short stay accommodation.
