Development Area 6 Draft Vision Plan & Implementation Strategy44

VILLAGE GREEN

The Village Green will be a multi functional space providing a

focus for community life and gathering. The Village Green will

be of a size that can be utilised by the local community for

exercise. Within the park existing mature trees will be

retained where possible and the site will incorporate

drainage.

A Community facility is also proposed within the Park with

the prospect for a cafe to be incorporated allowing alfresco

opportunities to spill over and integrate with the space.

Children will be able to play, while their parents share a

coffee with friends in a safe, attractive and family friendly

setting.

Furthermore, the Community facility can be converted to

markets or a meeting area on weekends, special occasions

and/or evenings.

STATION PLAZA

The Station Plaza will be a multi functional space. The Airport

West Train Station will be centrally located within the Plaza,

covered by a sculpted shade structure. The Plaza will

primarily be a paved area surrounded and lined with trees

with a central sunny open interior. The abutting built form and

land use shall provide opportunities for public/private and

alfresco opportunities to spill over and integrate with the

space.Childrenwillbeableto‘foolaround’,whiletheir

LINEAR PARK

The Linear Park consists of six parcels of public open space

(includingtheVillageGreen)ofvarioussizesandshapes,

located primarily along the existing Brearley Avenue

alignment. The network is proposed to extend through the

Residential Neighbourhood, from Great Eastern Highway to

Dunreath Drive. The key consideration within these networks

of open spaces is the retention of existing mature trees

where possible, and the provision for pedestrian and cycle

movement.

This network will be a mixture of tree retention, turf, paving

and swales envisaged to be utilised for more passive uses.

Each open space will have areas designated as a small

breakout space supplying unique intimate environments that

are multi functional for use by individuals, groups and families

alike. Possible features included within these areas will be

such elements as public art, play equipment and small

pockets of soft and hard landscaping.

The network will be linked with shared paths meandering

through the full length of the network, winding around the

existing mature trees and connecting seamlessly at key

positions to the wider pedestrian and cycle network.

The Airport Southern Main Drain

currently runs along Brearley Avenue

and provides a drainage route for much

of the catchment in the area.

The Water Corporation advises that

approvals will be required should

additional flow need to be discharged

into the Swan River. Any modifications

to the drainage discharging into the

river, including water quality, will need

to be approved by the Swan River Trust

and the Department of Water.

boundaries, the existing network of

150mm diameter water mains servicing

properties will need to be modified to

suit. The design of public open spaces

and landscaping will have regard to

DA6’s allocation of City’s irrigation water

supply.

STORMWATER/DRAINAGE

The developments shown in the Vision

Plan will increase the impermeable area

within DA6 significantly. Therefore, the

drainage systems will need to be

resized unless provisions are made for

on-site retention.

SERVICES

WATER

The Water Corporation have advised

that the overall existing major

infrastructure for water will be sufficient

to support the proposed developments.

This means that no upgrade will be

required for the 760mm diameter water

main on Great Eastern Highway despite

the density increase expected for this

development. Upgrades will be

required for the reticulation size mains

(under300mmindiameter)inorderto

meet demand. The extent of the

required upgrades will need to be

discussed with the Water Corporation

once specific details of the

developments are available. As the

Vision Plan shows reassigned lots and

possible changes to cadastral

47

COMMUNICATIONS

There are no major communication

upgrades envisioned for the site

other than the rollout of the high

speed broadband network. The DA6

is at least three years away from the

national rollout of the high speed

broadband network.

POWER

Western Power conducts its own

feasibility studies for new

developments for a fee. Further

consultation will be required with

Western Power once specific details of

the new developments are established.

SEWERAGE

DA6 encompasses areas currently

serviced by Perth Airport’s own internal

network. It is envisaged that this network

will become Water Corporation asset. An

assessment will need to be made on

whether the existing network outside the

PAPL land will meet Water Corporation

standards. Similarly to the water network,

the reassigned lots will mean a

modification of the existing sewer

network will be required.

The pump station which services the

residential dwellings is currently at

capacity. It is expected that this pump

station will require an upgrade in order to

meet demand generated by the increase

in dwellings. The Perth Airport pump

station on Fauntleroy Avenue will also

require an upgrade or potentially the

addition of second pump station. Gravity

reticulation mains servicing dwellings will

need to be upgraded in size based on

specific development details. This will

require further investigation, working with

the Water Corporation.

GAS

As the existing gas network currently

servicing the site is entirely an ATCO Gas

asset it is envisioned that the system will

meet standards. A major network of

medium pressure gas mains exists within

the site and is believed to have adequate

capacity to supply the new developments.

Approval to modify the network to suit

the updated cadastral boundaries will

need to be managed with ATCO Gas.

Opportunity to sensitively incorporate drainage into open spaces

Sustainable commercial buildings


medium to high density residential and mixed use product

near Great Eastern Highway which may be a model for

additional product near Airport West Train Station. This

approach has the benefit of allowing ideas to be tested,

being lower in cost and not involving major works or

changes.

The implementation framework groups the Vision Plan

initiatives as follows:

1. Statutory and Policy framework

2. Community and Economic Development

3. Transport-related projects.

4. Land Assembly and Physical Improvements to the Public

Domain

The Implementation Framework covers the strategic

initiatives contained within the Vision Plan, along with an

indication of the main agencies and organisations involved in

delivery and timeframes.

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGYIn order to realise the potential of DA6 and achieve change, the Vision Plan will need to be implemented over time, by a number of stakeholders. Some initiatives, such as the development of medium density housing and mixed use concepts, will have immediate and significant impact on their own whilst other projects, such as the opening of Airport West Train Station, will be catalysts for others with considerable flow-on effects for many

generations.

A robust Implementation Strategy based upon the guiding

principles of the Vision Plan will lead to housing and

employment choice, innovation and sustainability in service

delivery and benefits for the local and neighbouring

communities.

Delivery of the Vision Plan will rely on the cooperation of a

range of stakeholders including Federal and State

Government, the City, the private sector and the community.

The implementation timeframe will commence in the

short-term, but will then roll out with medium and long-term

actions.

Some initiatives will be implemented more readily than

others. Planning-focused initiatives, such as developing the

Structure Plan and amending the Planning Scheme as well

as development of transport related strategies, can

commence and be delivered in the short-term. Delivery of

physical improvements will be more gradual over a longer

period of time. Some physical improvements are suited to

being trialled to gauge their effectiveness, for example, the


GOVERNANCE

A governance structure is proposed with opportunities for

greater sharing of responsibility, ongoing community

engagement and enhanced private sector leadership which

would place DA6 high up on the list of innovative urban

renewal projects. The two key pillars of governance

recommended are:

1. Coordinating Committee

A voluntary or informal administrative group made up of City

Planning and Economic Development project officers, a

representative from PAPL, a representative from each of the

PTA and MRWA, meeting once a month over the next 12

months, with the objective to steer the redevelopment

project to optimise the Vision Plan and gain value add from

the significant infrastructure projects proposed for DA6. It is

also recommended that this group maintain the community

engagement process established through the Vision Plan

and report progress back to the Community Focus Group at

regular intervals.

2. Implementation Partnership

A formal partnership between the City and State

GovernmentDevelopmentAgency(e.g.Landcorp/

MetropolitanRedevelopmentAuthority)tofacilitatethe

development of Brearley Park and associated pilot high

density and mixed use development projects once Brearley

Avenue is decommissioned as a road. It is likely that this

work would include the realignment and upgrading of

significant utility services and stormwater drainage facilities,

public open space enhancement and the branding and

marketing of substantial mixed use, high density

development opportunities in proximity of Great Eastern

Highway and the Airport West Train Station. These catalyst

projects would set an example for other similar development

opportunities along Brearley Park which may attract private

sector developers in time. The City has experience of a

similar albeit larger development partnership with The

Springs project which has been delivered with positive

outcomes.

The following key initiatives will have significant short-term

benefits as well as being catalysts to stimulate wider change

in the City:

• RevitalisationofGreatEasternHighwaypromoting

opportunities for mixed use redevelopment and

connections to Swan River and Garvey Park.

• OpeningofAirportWestTrainStationpromotingahigher

mode shift to public transport, connections to the CBD,

place activation, attracting more residents and workers

into the City.

• ClosureofBrearleyAvenueandreshapingBrearleyPark

as a linear park and key recreational asset in the City.

• GatewayWAProjectpromotingenhancedconnections

across the Tonkin Highway to regional open space and

activity nodes and improved access to Perth Airport.

CATALYST PROJECTS AND COMMUNITY BENEFITS


PERTH AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Developed by PAPL in accordance with the Airports Act

1996. The Master Plan will be prepared in 2014 and will

describe the expected development at the Airport during the

next 20 years and will also present an indicative plan for the

airport once developed to full capacity. The Master Plan will

outline the sustainable growth of the Airport to meet West

Australia’s aviation needs.

COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTThe Vision Plan is in line with both the Regional Economic

DevelopmentStrategy2010–2015(REDS)preparedbythe

Eastern Regional Metropolitan Council and also with the

City’s Local Planning Scheme supporting document,

Business. The Vision should be supported by the application

of the City’s key strategies for home occupations,

continuance of local employment nodes along Great Eastern

Highway and integration of the Airport’s aeronautical and

non-aeronautical development strategies.

The Vision will benefit from specific marketing to creative

industries, knowledge and technology based business and

the health and education services sector. The high visibility

afforded by Great Eastern Highway, the future ambience of

Brearley Park and the access opportunities afforded by

Airport West Train Station make this location very desirable.

The mixed use location near Airport West Train Station will

also be attractive to the technical, architectural and

engineering based services as is demonstrated by an

emerging cluster Subiaco Station along Roberts Road and

Centro Avenue.

Community development will focus in and around the Airport

West Train Station and the proposed Community Centre on

the Village Green. The City could establish in this building an

enterprise hub for business advisory services, a high speed

broadband network technology base and various course and

classes for multi generational groups to service the local

community and wider neighbourhoods.

INTERIM LOCAL PLANNING POLICY (LPP)

Made under the provisions of the Local Planning Scheme No

15 this interim policy will identify the nexus between the

Vision Plan and the further planning of DA6 and identify

critical requirements for the redevelopment. The purpose of

the LPP will be to assist the decision makers in their

decisions until such time as the DA6 Structure Plan is

adopted. The LPP would ensure that the Vision Plan is given

due regard and acknowledgement and discourage planning

decision making contrary to the Vision.

LOCAL STRUCTURE PLAN FOR DA6 – (LSP)

Local Planning Scheme No. 15 requires that a LSP is

prepared for DA6. The LSP would follow the WAPC Structure

Plan Preparation Guidelines which requires the preparation

of a Statutory Part 1 containing provisions to control

development, variations to the R Codes and other

development requirements and a Part Two containing

Supporting Information which provides the rationale for the

provisions and key considerations in decision making. The

LSP will take effect under clause 6.2.12.1 of the Scheme.

AMENDMENT TO LOCAL PLANNING SCHEME NO 15 AND CONSIDERATION OF DEVELOPER CONTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS

An amendment may be required to ensure alignment of the

Scheme and the LSP. It is also likely that there will need to

be a Developer Contribution Plan for DA6 to allow for the

equitable sharing of costs of improved infrastructure and

Public Open Space as a result of the increased densities

identified in the structure plan. The Scheme sets out the

requirements and steps to be taken in this event.

STATUTORY AND POLICY FRAMEWORK

A number of core documents will guide the implementation of the Vision Plan:


Implementation framework


A key to the implementation of the Vision will be the delivery of major transport related projects. In particular in the short term, improvements to Great Eastern HighwayandTonkinHighway(GatewayWAproject)willallowforimprovedtrafficmovement and circulation around DA6 and less ’rat running’.

In the medium term, Airport West Train Station will be a catalyst project which will present a major opportunity for public transport use to and from work, the Airport and other activities which may take place within DA6.

The upgrade of Fauntleroy, connections between Dunreath Drive and Boud Avenue and the closure of Brearley Avenue will allow traffic circulation around DA6, slow, safe internal streets and the opportunity to reconnect the two halves of DA6 with a local movement network.

LAND ASSEMBLY

The present subdivision includes medium sized single residential lots. Whilst it may be possible to redevelop these lots, the outcome as battle axe strata lots would not present the best outcome for DA6 and may detract from the Vision. The Vision is to maximise street presence, passive surveillance and significant additional density near in the linear park interface and in close proximity to Airport West Train Station. To optimise the potential of the residential and mixed use land in DA6 some lot amalgamation will be required. For example, if 3 single lots are amalgamated, multiple town houses with street frontage can be provided. It is feasible that the private sector could accommodate this initiative through agreements. The development industry may expedite this process once the structure plan is adopted.

The decommissioning of

Brearley Avenue and the

opportunity to implement a

linear park is another catalyst

project.

This project could be the focus of a

strategic partnership with the City and

State Agencies involved in the rollout of

major service upgrades, public realm

implementation and development

facilitation, such as Landcorp or similar.

The diagram opposite highlights the

complexity of the existing land title and

reserves along the Brearley Avenue

alignment. In order to translate this into

future roads, parks and development sites

it is recommended that all relevant lots

are amalgamated and then re-subdivided

intodiscreetparcelsfortheCity(roads

andparks)andfordevelopment.This

process assumes that the Water

Corporation reserve is amended as

services are realigned and upgraded after

Brearley Avenue is decommissioned.

A land assembly strategy for DA6 will

emerge as the Structure Plan is

developed.

A further example of land assembly and title

rationalisation is shown for the Redcliffe

Primary School site. The school may need to

expand to accommodate additional students

attending as a result of the redevelopment. It

may be possible for the school to expand into

the underutilised Main Roads WA Reserve as it

is unlikely that any further exits from Tonkin

Highway will be required once Boud Avenue is

open.

The development staging in DA6 will be

closely linked to the key statutory planning and

major infrastructure projects. The Airport West

Train Station will be the key catalyst for

redevelopment. The closure of Brearley Avenue

subsequent to Qantas relocating to the

Consolidated Precinct will be the other

significant infrastructure project. The build out

of the Vision is likely to occur at an incremental

rate over the next 20-30 years.
