 (a) Preparing and delivering the request to the Minister in accordance with the Land Administration Regulations 1998; and

 (b) Providing the Minister with sufficient supporting information in a plan of survey, sketch plan or document to describe the dimensions of the proposed road as contained in Attachment 2 to this report.

Background

Updated 3 October 2024

The applicant has submitted a revised Transport Impact Assessment (TIA) as requested by the City. The Revised TIA updates the TIA submitted with the Roe Estate Structure Plan application to analyse the future performance of intersections surrounding the proposed Roe Estate. This analysis quantifies the impact of traffic generated by the residential development and proposed modifications to the road network. Click here for the Revised TIA.

Key findings of the Revised TIA are:

  • The existing road network has sufficient capacity to accommodate the additional traffic generated by the development;
  • Most intersections surrounding the development continue to perform adequately;
  • The intersection of Mahogany Road-Benara Road performs poorly now and in the future, with a marginal impact attributable to the residential development.

The owner of Lot 24 (No.463) Beechboro Road North and Lot 385 (No.18) Blackboy Way, Beechboro is seeking support from the City to dedicate Blackboy Way Reserve as a local road. This dedication is to support the redevelopment of the John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School, Beechboro to a residential area.

A recently advertised structure plan application to the City of Swan included a concept design for the proposed residential development, including a new road providing access to residential lots and to the wider residential development.

See map below for location of the proposed new road, and click here for the concept plan provided to the City of Swan for the development.

In order to facilitate access to the site, it is necessary for the reserve to be dedicated as a local road by the City and the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage.

Blackboy Way Reserve is currently owned by the State Government and managed by the owner of the adjacent land for the purposes of parking and public utilities. If dedicated as a local road, it will fall under the care and control of the City of Bayswater.

The final road design is subject to future planning and engineering approvals through the subdivision process and is not the subject of this consultation.
