Amendment No.76 -Limitation of Discretionary Powers

Consultation has concluded


Description:

The use of existing clause 8.2 - Discretion to Modify Development Standards - of the City's Town Planning Scheme No.24, has resulted in building height related outcomes, regarded as uncharacteristic of specific areas of the City, more specifically 'Special Control Areas' and the 'Activity Centre Zone.' The Scheme amendment proposed a limitation to the use of discretion in relation to height by decision makers, including the Joint Development Assessment Panel, in considering planning applications.


Current project status:

Council resolved to recommend to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) and the Minister for Planning at their Planning and Development Services Committee Meeting dated 17 July 2018 to approve the scheme amendment - Item 9.5: https://www.bayswater.wa.gov.au/city-and-council/council/council-meetings/agendas-and-minutes/2018/july/planning-and-development-services-meeting-minutes-

The scheme amendment was subsequently refused by the WAPC (see documents section).
