State Administrative Tribunal (WA)|2008-01-10

The application for review is allowed.
The decision of the respondent made on 22 June 2007 to refuse development approval for a single hardstand car parking bay at No 66 Evans Street, Shenton Park is set aside and a decision is substituted that development approval is granted subject to the following conditions:

All stormwater generated on site is to be retained on site. No stormwater will be permitted to enter the City's stormwater drainage system unless otherwise approved. 2. Existing ground levels at lot boundaries are to remain unaltered or, alternatively, any fill or excavation required as a result of any alteration of these levels is to be retained. Details of any proposed retaining walls are required to be submitted for approval prior to commencement of the development. Development approval may also be required for any proposed retaining walls greater than 0.5 metres in height above natural ground level.

All infrastructure in the road reserve adjacent to and bounding the development site is to be protected from damage for the duration of the construction of the development, and at the conclusion of construction, reinstated to the condition that existed prior to the construction of the development commencing. The manner in which the infrastructure is to be protected and reinstated is to be to the satisfaction of the Director Technical Services.

All car parking bay dimensions are to accord with Australian Standard AS 2890.1. 2. All ramps, crossovers, driveways and circulation aisles are to be constructed in accordance with Australian Standard AS 2890.1 and maintained to that standard. 3. Existing ground levels at all proposed vehicle and pedestrian access points are to remain unaltered. No change in footpath, verge or right of way levels will be permitted. 4. The existing level of the footpath is to be maintained. 5. Crossovers are to be provided and constructed in accordance with the City of Subiaco Policy No 14.2.3. 6. A 1.5 metre by 1.5 metre visual truncation is to be provided at the south-western corner of the single hardstand and is to be maintained at all times. No walls, landscaping or visually impermeable fences greater than 0.75 metre in height above natural ground level are to be located within this truncation.

I certify that this and the preceding [84] paragraphs comprise the reasons for decision of the State Administrative Tribunal.

KOONG and CITY OF SUBIACO [2008] WASAT 7 (10 January 2008)

74 In Trickey and City of Subiaco [2005] WASAT 256, the matter involved a carport in the front setback over an existing hardstand, and where there was no established pattern of carports in the streetscape. The application for review was dismissed.

76 In Waller and City of Subiaco [2006] WASAT 328, the respondent had refused an application for a double carport in the front setback to replace an existing single width crossover and hardstand. The Tribunal found that because all houses in the street had consistent setback patterns of 9.0 metres - 11 metres with no carports in front of the established setback pattern, the proposal would be inconsistent with the streetscape. The application for review was dismissed.
