I) PREAMBLE This Local Development Plan (LDP) is prepared pursuant to the Detailed Area Plan provisions of Clause 6.17 of the City of Kwinana Town Planning Scheme 2, and condition 19 of WAPC subdivision approval 146744 dated 18 January 2013. Unless otherwise stated in this LDP, all development shall be in accordance with the City s Scheme, the Residential Design Codes of WA, and the Wellard Residential (Bollard Bulrush South) Local Structure Plan. The requirement to consult with adjoining or other landowners to vary the Residential Design Codes in accordance with the Local Development Plan (LDP) is not required except where variations to the provisions of the LDP are sought. Planning Approval is not required, but a Building Permit is required, for the construction of a dwelling on any lot within the area covered by the LDP (including lots with a land area less than 260 square metres) except where varitions to the provisions of the LDP are sought. II) OPERATION OF THE This Local Development Plan is separated into two Parts. 1. The Part One standards represent additional requirements and variations to the Residential Design Codes in order to facilitate better design outcomes, greater land use efficiencies, and to ensure appropriate residential streetscapes. These standards constitute Deemed-to-Comply requirements pursuant to the Codes. These controls apply to: all R50 coded laneway lots; all R30 and R50 coded lots with frontage less than or equal to 13 metres; all R30 and R50 coded lots with frontage greater than 13 metres; all R20 coded lots; all R50 coded density sites; and all R30 coded Four-Pack lots. The Context Plan shows the various lot types, as per approved subdivision 146744. The Context Plan is provided for information purposes only, and does not form part of this LDP. 2. Part Two responds directly to the requirements of the approved Local Structure Plan and condition 19 of WAPC approval 146744, and introduces additional development control provisions for: a) Lots that are deemed to be in bushfire prone areas (as per the Bush Fire Management Plan endorsed as a detail of the Local Structure Plan); and b) Lots that are deemed to be affected by freeway noise (as per the Acoustic Assessment endorsed as a detail of the Local Structure Plan). Where the criteria outlined in Part One of this LDP cannot be satisfied, the planning application shall be assessed in accordance with the applicable Performance Criteria of the Residential Design Codes. 5

A comparable description for bedrooms, living and work areas is that defined by the Building Code of Australia as a habitable room. The Building Code of Australia may be referenced if greater clarity is needed. A living or work area can be taken to mean any habitable room other than a bedroom. The Building Code of Australia describes these utility spaces as non-habitable rooms. 3 Glazing panels are acceptable in external doors facing the transport corridor. However these must meet the minimum glazing requirements. 4 The Policy requires that at least one outdoor living area can be reasonably protected from transport noise. The protected area should meet the minimum space requirements for outdoor living areas, as defined in the Residential Design Codes of Western Australia. 21
