KEY ISSUES

• The Helena River Steiner School Community Association has made an application to relocate their existing Private Primary School from Spring Park Road in Midland to a larger site at Lot 13 Stirling Crescent, Hazelmere. The new site will accommodate an expanded primary school offering a maximum of 210 students and 18 staff, as well as pre-primary and kindergarten.

• The lot is zoned 'Special Use Zone 15' in the City's Local Planning Scheme No.17 (LPS17). The Special Use of the land is specified as being - “The land uses as specified in an adopted local structure plan consistent with the Land Use intent detailed for Precinct 2A “Helena River” within the Local Government and WAPC approved Hazelmere Enterprise Area Structure Plan Report.

• Further provisions for this zone set out that subdivision and development shall be in accordance with a Structure Plan prepared and approved in accordance with Part 4 of Schedule 2 of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015.

• There is no approved structure plan for Special Use Zone 15. Notwithstanding, Part 4 of Schedule 2 of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 allows for a decision maker to approve an application for development approval in the absence of a structure plan provided it is satisfied that such approval:

− does not conflict with the principles of orderly and proper planning; and

− would not prejudice the overall development potential of the area.


• The proposed use of the land as a School is considered to be consistent with the Land Use Intent detailed for Precinct 2A “Helena River” under the approved Hazelmere Enterprise Area Structure Plan (HEASP) Report which includes - “Promotion of institutional uses relating to education, health, research and recreation”.

• The proposed School is also sited on the land in a manner that would not prevent the “Provision of a road adjacent to and along the entire length of the Helena River to provide a high quality hard edge interface and continuous public access to the river reserve” as specified in the Land Use Intent of the HEASP.

• For these reasons City staff are satisfied that the application for the school could be approved without a structure plan in effect for the land and without conflicting with the requirements for orderly and proper planning with respect to the development of Precinct 2A “Helena River”.

• The application was advertised for public comment, with nine (9) submissions received – five (5) being objections on the grounds of likely traffic congestion and road safety and adverse impact of noise.

• City staff are satisfied that the proposed School will not cause traffic congestion on the local road network nor render it unsafe provided that the school’s pick-up and drop-off system is operated in a timely fashion.

• The School will be required to ensure that noise from its operation comply with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997. City staff also recommend limitations on the numbers of children in the play group, pre‐kindergarten and kindergarten utilising outdoor play spaces to a maximum of 25 at any one time.

• Perth Airport have objected to the application because half the site is within the 25-30 ANEF aircraft noise exposure contour, a School is an ‘unacceptable’ land use within this contour under State Planning Policy 5.1 – Land Use Planning in the Vicinity of Perth Airport (SPP 5.1) and that aircraft noise may adversely impact teaching.

• City staff are of the view that the potential for aircraft noise to adversely impact teaching is low as the applicant has advised that there will be minimal outdoor teaching and noise impact indoors will be mitigated by noise insulation.

• Should Council approve the development, Perth Airport requests that noise insulation be required in the construction of all buildings. A notification on title is also required to advise future owners of the potential for aircraft noise nuisance. These requirements are consistent with SPP 5.1, and are recommended as conditions of approval.

It is recommended that the Council approve the ‘Educational Establishment’ (Private Primary School) at Lot 13 Stirling Crescent, Hazelmere subject to conditions.


AUTHORITY/DISCRETION

The Council may approve (with conditions) or refuse to approve the proposed development. If the applicant is aggrieved with the decision of the Council, a right of appeal may exist in accordance with Part 5 of the Planning and Development Act 2005.

BACKGROUND

Applicant: Helena River Steiner School Community Association Inc

Owner: Allan Michael Guelfi Zoning: LPS17 - Special Use Zone 15 MRS - Urban Development Scheme: Local Planning Scheme No.17 Existing Land Use: Single House Lot Area: 1.844 ha Use Class: ‘Educational Establishment’

DETAILS OF THE PROPOSAL

The application seeks approval for an ‘Educational Establishment’ (Private Primary School) on Lot 13 Stirling Crescent, Hazelmere.

The proposal will facilitate the relocation of the existing Helena River Steiner School currently located in Midland. Development is anticipated to occur in two (2) stages over three (3) years, commencing in 2022.

At completion, the site will accommodate an expanded primary school (years 1 to 6), pre-primary, and kindergarten for up to 210 students and a maximum of 18 staff.

Key details of the proposal as depicted on the attached plans are as follows:

• Proposed classrooms in a series of new pavilions, comprising:

o six (6) primary school classrooms (GPLA 1-6) (25 students each = 150);

o four (4) early learning classrooms (GELA 1-4), including play group, with individual outdoor play areas located between buildings; and

o two (2) adjoining multi-purpose music/craft rooms (MPR 1&2);

• The existing dwelling (311m2) on the lot will be converted to an administration building, including reception area, offices, staff room, kitchen and toilets;

• The existing stables on the lot will be converted to woodwork and metalwork learning areas and a maintenance shed;

• Proposed new incidental school buildings, including library, canteen, covered assembly, storage, and toilet blocks;

• Outdoor areas will include a main sporting oval, landscaped playgrounds, footpaths, fences etc;


• 35 onsite vehicle parking bays accessed via Stirling Crescent driveway, comprising 20 staff and visitor parking bays, and 15 drop-off bays at the front;

• Separate new emergency / service vehicle access via Stirling Crescent;

• School start and finish times are 8.45am to 3.10pm Monday to Friday. Playgroup start and finish times are 9.15am to 2.15pm Monday to Friday;

• After school activities such as sport training on the oval may occur on some weekdays during daylight hours; and,

• Occasional evening parent-teacher meetings/events may occur for individual classes.

DESCRIPTION OF SITE

The subject lot is 1.844 ha and currently used for a residence and horse grazing. The lot has an existing brick-and-tile dwelling and brick stables on site, which are proposed to be retained and converted to an administration building and woodwork and metalwork shops respectively.

The lot backs onto the Helena River Regional Reserve for Parks and Recreation.

Vehicular access to the site is via Stirling Crescent, which is currently a cul-de-sac to the east of the site. The City plans to upgrade Stirling Crescent to an urban standard and extend it through to the Lloyd Street roundabout. These works are expected around 2023/24 (subject to funding), and once completed will eliminate the cul-de-sac.

OTHER RELEVANT PREVIOUS DECISIONS OF COUNCIL

DA-676/2020 - Proposed ‘Educational Establishment’ - Lot 49 (No.51), Lot 48 (No.53) & Lot 47 (No.55) Harper Street, Woodbridge

The Helena River Steiner School Community Association previously applied to relocate their existing school from Midland to the above lots on Harper Street in Woodbridge.

That application was a Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP) application.

On 17 February 2021, Council resolved to recommend that the Metro Outer JDAP refuse the application due to the potential adverse impact of increased traffic on Harper Street.

On 3 March 2021, the Metro Outer JDAP refused the application in accordance with Council’s recommendation.


APPLICANT'S SUBMISSION

The applicant has made the following comments in support of the proposal:

“Typically located in beautiful surrounds, our schools seek to nurture each individual and connect them to the reverence and awe of the natural environment, one another, and the world around them. Schools are grounded in working artistically, spiritually, practically and intellectually.

In primary school, the core approach is through artistic presentation of material by the class teacher which promotes engagement, inspires deep learning and supports developing imaginations.

In secondary school, we develop students’ awakening capacity for discernment by fostering initiative and independent, flexible thinking.”

“Primary outcomes: • Create a flexible liveable school, centred on a series of pavilions, capturing the

solar aspect, and creating a well-balanced indoor/outdoor

• Connection to nature beyond, conserving all mature trees.

General outcomes: • Good fenestration to North for high thermal & ventilation performance for most

classrooms.

• An open-plan school with al-fresco spaces connecting to the environment.

Principles: • Climate responsive Passive Solar design is integral to this design for winter

warmth, with natural cross ventilation for summer purging.

• Acoustic performance is generally achieved using similar technology and materials.

• Solar HWU and PV panels and future battery storage should be considered for improved amenity and sustainability.

• Storm-water capture and storage, using first-flush filters to rainwater to each classroom, will provide summer irrigation for gardens. Stormwater management will, use filter terraces or wetlands as bio-filters before water reaches the river-bed.

• Waste water will be connected to the new gravity sewer extension from Amherst Road, under discussion with Water Corporation. ATU systems are not considered suitable for this site.

• Encourage environmentally friendly living; e.g. Permaculture, plants, veggie gardens etc. possibly a small school farm, with grazing animals on the oval, rather than mowing, vegetable gardens around the buildings. This is all seen as part of the school ethos and the curriculum. Site management is crucial under the Bushfire Management Plan.


• Steiner or Waldorf Schools recognise that as young children grow they initially require more sense of security and enclosure in their familiar spaces and that this opens-up over time. This is reflected in the design of the Early Learning Classrooms, as above.”

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

The application underwent the following public consultation process for 28 days between 7 July and 4 August 2021:

• letters to approximately 150 properties within Hazelmere, including along Stirling Crescent and other future local traffic routes of the school;

• letters to community interest groups in the area;

• publication of the application on the City's website; and,

• sign on site.

Nine (9) submissions were received, of which five (5) made objections to the proposal. The remaining four (4) submissions made no objection, including from the Hazelmere Progress Association.

The key issues raised in the objections and the assessing officer’s response are detailed in the ‘Details’ section of this report.

DETAILS

Zoning and Use Class Permissibility:

The lot is zoned 'Special Use Zone 15' in the City's LPS17. The Special Use of the land is specified in Schedule 4 of in the City's LPS17 as being - “The land uses as specified in an adopted local structure plan consistent with the Land Use intent detailed for Precinct 2A “Helena River” within the Local Government and WAPC approved Hazelmere Enterprise Area Structure Plan Report.

Condition No.1 of Special Use Zone 15 in Schedule 4 states:

“Subdivision and development shall be in accordance with a Structure Plan prepared and approved in accordance with the provisions of Part 4 of the Deemed provisions for local planning schemes at schedule 2 of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015.”

There is no adopted structure plan for the land. Notwithstanding, Regulation 27 (2) of Part 4 of the Deemed Provisions states a decision maker may approve an application for development approval in the absence of a structure plan provided it is satisfied such approval:

− does not conflict with the principles of orderly and proper planning; and

− would not prejudice the overall development potential of the area.

The question that arises here is whether the use of the land for the proposed Steiner School is consistent with the Land Use Intent detailed for Precinct 2A “Helena River” within the City of Swan and Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) approved Hazelmere Enterprise Area Structure Plan (HEASP) Report

The Objective of Precinct 2A as stated in the HEASP Report is to:

“Provide for light industrial uses and uses that are complimentary to development within the Midland Redevelopment Authority (MRA) area on the northern side of Helena River, such as education, research and recreational uses. Uses that facilitate public access to Helena River and ensure the ongoing protection and enhancement of Helena River as a priority are encouraged.”

The Land Use Intent of Precinct 2A as stated in the HEASP Report is:

− Light industrial uses in the event of reticulated sewer being provided

− Promotion of institutional uses relating to education, health, research and recreation

− Provision of a road adjacent to and along the entire length of the Helena River to provide a high quality hard edge interface and continuous public access to the river reserve

The proposed use of the land as a School is considered to be consistent with the Land Use Intent detailed for Precinct 2A “Helena River” under the approved HEASP Report.


The proposed physical development of the School has been sited on the land with a setback of 20m from the rear boundary of the lot which abuts the Helena River foreshore reserve. This setback provides room for the provision of a road adjacent to the river as set out in the Land Use Intent detailed for Precinct 2A “Helena River” under the approved HEASP Report.

For these reasons City staff are satisfied that the application for the School could be approved without a structure plan in effect for the land and without conflicting with the requirements for orderly and proper planning with respect to the development of Precinct 2A “Helena River”.

State Planning Policy 7.0 – Design of the Built Environment (SPP 7.0)

SPP 7.0 provides guidance as to which types of development proposals should be subject to design review, and at what level i.e. State or Local Design Review Panel, Local government architect or “as required” design review consultant. The Indicative Design Review Threshold Table in SPP 7.0 indicates that for commercial development below the JDAP threshold (below $10 million) a local government may exercise its discretion in utilising an “as required’ design review consultant. The City’s adopted Local Planning Policy on Design Review seeks to subject to design review various types of development - multiple and grouped dwellings, development that is of three (3) or more storeys, City proposals and JDAP applications. The proposed Steiner School does not fall into this category.

A design review consultant was not utilised in this instance because this application is very similar to the form of the application that was made by the applicant for Lots 47, 48 and 49 Harper Street in Woodbridge. This application has taken on the key design feedback from the design review of that application being:

− Clear separation between pedestrian pathways and car parking areas; and

− A recommendation to ensure quality in the detail of landscaping and outdoor play areas.

This application is essentially utilising similar skillion roofed pavilion style classroom buildings (although not elevated on stilts) with north facing louvered windows and ceiling height louvered breezeways to facilitate good solar access and ventilation.

Traffic, Access and Parking:

Impact of Traffic on Local Roads

Several objections raised concerns about the impact of increased school traffic on road functionality and safety. One (1) of the objections came from the owner of Lot 2 Stirling Crescent (Trillion Trees Nursery) 150m to the west of the site. Another two (2) objections came from residents on Robertson Street.

The applicant has submitted an updated Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) prepared by Shawmac (dated 29 July 2021). The updated TIA includes additional traffic modelling of key intersections on Bushmead Road to address the concerns raised in the objections.


The TIA has modelled the School traffic in three (3) scenarios:

• Scenario No.1 - current scenario whereby Stirling Crescent is a cul-de-sac;

• Scenario No.2 - scenario after Stirling Crescent is extended to connect to Lloyd Street; and

• Scenario No.3 - 2033 when all other local road network changes are completed.

Scenario No.1 represents the worst-case whereby all School traffic is directed onto Amherst Road and Stirling Crescent. Once Stirling Crescent is connected to Lloyd Street as per Scenario No.2 and Scenario No.3, traffic will be more evenly dispersed on the road network to the east.

The key findings of the TIA for Scenario No.1 are as follows:

• the proposed School is estimated to generate 420 vehicle trips per day (vpd) comprising 210 trips each in the peak morning and afternoon periods;

• traffic will be distributed across the local road network, primarily Stirling Crescent, Amherst Road, and Bushmead Road;

• daily traffic is estimated to increase by 6% (420vpd) along Stirling Crescent, from 6608vpd to 7028vpd. Traffic in the peak hour (AM) is estimated to increase by 33% (210 vehicles) from 630 to 840 vehicles; and

• daily traffic is estimated to increase by 2.4% (64vpd) along Robertson Street, from 2725vpd to 2789vpd. Traffic in the peak hour (AM) is estimated to increase by 12% (32 vehicles) from 274 to 306 vehicles.

City staff are satisfied that the TIA has appropriately accounted for future traffic volumes and major network changes in the area. The TIA adequately demonstrates that the local road network can accommodate the estimated additional School traffic in the interim scenario, and longer term once all surrounding road network upgrades are completed.

In terms of safety, City staff are satisfied that the relatively low traffic volume generated by the School is unlikely to increase the risk of crashes to unacceptable levels.

The following comments are made in response to the specific concerns raised in the objections:

Stirling Crescent / Amherst Road Intersection

Lot 2 Stirling Crescent (Trillion Trees Nursery) is located on the corner of Stirling Crescent and Amherst Road. The objection contends that additional school traffic in the afternoon will make it difficult for vehicles to exit the Nursery and turn right onto Amherst Road. The objection suggests the intersection be upgraded to a roundabout.

The applicant’s TIA estimates that the School will generate an additional 37 right-turn movements onto Amherst Road in the afternoon peak hour. Currently there is minimal traffic making this turn from Stirling Crescent, and so the intersection will have adequate capacity to accommodate the additional school traffic.

City staff are satisfied that the TIA adequately demonstrates that the Stirling Crescent / Amherst Road intersection will operate well within capacity now and in the future. Upgrade to a roundabout is not considered to be warranted.


Robertson Street

Two (2) objections to traffic came from residents on Robertson Street. Robertson Street is a Local Distributor road with capacity to carry toward the top end of 3000vpd. The estimated 2.4% increase to daily traffic (from 2725vpd to 2789vpd) is minor and able to be accommodated within the functional capacity of the road.

The TIA indicates that the intersections of Robertson Street / Bushmead Road and Stirling Crescent / Bushmead Road will operate within capacity during both AM and PM peak hours.

Access and Parking:

The development proposes 40 onsite parking bays, comprising:

− 20 staff and visitor bays to the rear of the lot;

− 15 bays to the front directly accessible via Stirling Crescent; and

− Five (5) bays parallel to Stirling Crescent within a “kiss and drive” zone designed for high turnover of vehicles during peak drop-off and pick-up times.

The proposed provision of 40 onsite parking bays far exceeds the City’s Local Planning Policy POL-TP-129 Vehicle Parking Standards minimum parking requirement of only 12 bays, being one (1) bay per classroom.

In practical reality however, it is expected that children are likely to be dropped-off and picked-up rather than walk or cycle to the school. The onsite parking will provide one (1) bay for each of the 18 school staff, leaving 22 bays for use by parents of the 210 students, and so the actual demand for parking on the site is likely to exceed the minimum parking requirements set out in Local Planning Policy POL-TP-129 Vehicle Parking Standards

This scenario is reflected in the applicant’s TIA, which models 210 vehicle movements in the AM and PM peak hours for drop-off and pick-up periods. The proposed “kiss and drive” zone located parallel to Stirling Crescent is designed to facilitate the high turnover of vehicles during these peak periods, whereby vehicles do not park in the bays but rather stop briefly to allow children to exit/enter before driving away.

In order for this facility to operate effectively, and in a manner that does not cause vehicles to queue back onto Stirling Crescent and impact traffic flow or create congestion on the road, the TIA recommends that the School implement a strategy to assist students in and out of the vehicles safely and swiftly. The traffic consultants estimate that a turnover rate of three (3) minutes per bay is acceptable.

In order to ensure that there is an efficient turnover and flow of vehicles through the “kiss and drive” zone, it is recommended that a management plan be prepared and implemented so that a school attendant be present during peak periods to ensure no vehicle is stopped for longer than three (3) minutes in any bay.


Department of Transport (DoT)

The DoT supports the TIA recommendation, and also requires that a ‘Travel and Parking Management Plan’ be prepared and implemented to detail onsite overflow parking for any whole School events held on the site. This requirement is recommended as a condition of approval.

Draft Operational Policy 2.4 – Planning for School Sites (OP 2.4):

The WAPC’s OP 2.4 states that primary school sites should have a minimum of three (3) road frontages to facilitate suitable and safe access. Cul-de-sac roads are not considered to be suitable. The main benefit of multiple road frontages is to manage traffic congestion at peak periods (ie. drop-off and pick-up).

The subject site is located on Stirling Crescent, which is currently a cul-de-sac to the east of the site. However, the City plans to upgrade Stirling Crescent to an urban standard and extend it through to the Lloyd Street roundabout. These works are expected to occur around 2023/24 (subject to funding), and once completed will eliminate the cul-de-sac, improve accessibility and reduce the potential for traffic congestion.

In accordance with OP 2.4, the DoT recommends a number of improvements to the pedestrian environment, including that pedestrian and cycling infrastructure be provided along Stirling Crescent in agreement with the City. This will be achieved through the upgrade of Stirling Crescent.

Further, as noted above, the intent of a future structure plan for the land is to make provision for a road along the Helena River. The proposed development provides for a 20m wide undeveloped strip along the rear of the lot to facilitate such a road should this become an option in the future. This would create frontage to at least two (2) roads, both with direct access to onsite carparks.

It is considered that subject to the efficient operation of the “kiss and drive” facility, that access to the site will be adequate and not prejudice the existing road network.

Impact of Aircraft Noise on School:

The western portion of the lot is affected by the 25-30 ANEF aircraft noise exposure contour as shown in Attachment 2. Under State Planning Policy 5.1 – Land Use Planning in the Vicinity of Perth Airport (SPP 5.1), a school is an ‘unacceptable’ land use within the 25-30 ANEF.

The eastern portion of the lot is affected by the lesser 20-25 ANEF contour, however some people may still find that this contour is not compatible with educational uses.

The applicant has submitted an Acoustic Assessment prepared by Herring Storer (dated June 2021), which specifies noise insulation requirements for buildings to achieve acceptable internal noise levels as per AS 2021 – Acoustics - Aircraft Noise Intrusion - Building Siting and Construction.

Perth Airport objects to the development because it is an ‘unacceptable’ use within the 25-30 ANEF under SPP 5.1. Perth Airport notes that although internal building areas may be protected from aircraft noise through noise insulation, outdoor areas cannot be insulated from the impacts of aircraft noise. Perth Airport is particularly concerned about the impact of frequent aircraft noise on outdoor teaching and learning.

The applicant advises that outdoor lessons will not be a regular occurrence at the School. It is estimated that each class will have one (1) 45-minute sports lesson per week (on the


oval or within the undercover assembly area), and a lesson at the river two (2) or three (3) times per term. On average, these outdoor lessons account for less than 3% of teaching time per class per week.

City staff are of the view that the potential impact of aircraft noise on teaching will be relatively minor given that indoor areas may be protected through noise insulation, and outdoor teaching will be minimal. The only regular outdoor lessons will be sport, which are less likely to be disrupted by aircraft noise than other lesson types that rely on conversations and quiet time for effective teaching and learning.

Furthermore, some sport lessons will be held within the undercover assembly area, which may benefit from noise insulation. Outdoor lessons at the river may be located in the less affected 20-25 ANEF contour on the eastern side of the lot.

Should Council approve the development, Perth Airport requests that noise insulation be required in the construction of all buildings. A notification on title is also required to advise future owners of the potential for aircraft noise nuisance. These requirements are consistent with SPP 5.1, and are recommended as conditions of approval.

Impact of School Noise on Surrounding Residences:

Acoustic Assessment

City staff note that recreational noise from educational premises falls under ‘Community Noise’ and is not required to comply with the assigned noise levels in the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997. This includes potential noise from children’s play on the oval and other areas of the school.

Only the noise from the playgroup and kindergarten areas in the south-east of the site is required to comply with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 as it is not related to the educational activities of the school. Other potential noise sources that must comply are the proposed metal/wood workshop, carparks, school sirens/bells, and future plant equipment on buildings, which are mostly located on the eastern side of the site.

The applicant has submitted an Acoustic Assessment prepared by Herring Storer (dated July 2021), which indicates that the relevant noise sources will comply with the assigned noise levels at nearby residences. This is in part due to the location of the site in an area with relatively large lots, with significant distances to the nearby residences.

Objection to noise from Lot 12 Stirling Crescent

The owners of Lot 12 on the western boundary of the lot raised concerns about the potential for noise to negatively impact the quiet enjoyment of their property, particularly noise from children’s play on the proposed oval and school sirens. The submission suggests the use of fences and landscaping to minimise noise, as well as the careful selection and location of sirens on the site.

Notwithstanding that the proposed School is largely exempt from the noise controls under the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997, City staff acknowledge that the development will introduce additional noise that is likely to be heard at the adjoining residence on Lot 12.

It is recommended that the proponent install a solid fence along the western boundary of the subject lot to assist to shield Lot 12 from school noise. The owners of Lot 12 and the proponent are agreeable to this requirement.


Details of plant equipment and the type, location and orientation of school sirens have not yet been determined. It is recommended that the Acoustic Assessment be updated once plant equipment and sirens have been selected, to identify noise impacts and any mitigation measures to ensure compliant noise levels at nearby residences.

Bushfire Management:

The land is within a Bushfire Prone Area and subject to State Planning Policy 3.7 – Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas (SPP 3.7).

City staff and the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) reviewed the submitted Bushfire Management Plan (BMP) prepared by Bushfire Prone Planning (dated 10 June 2021). A number of technical modifications were required to the classification of vegetation, and to better address vehicular access and the supply of water to the site.

Subsequently, the applicant submitted an updated BMP (dated 10 August 2021) to address the City’s and DFES’s comments. City staff are satisfied that the updated BMP demonstrates that the site can achieve a BAL-29 rating consistent with SPP 3.7.

City staff are satisfied the BMP demonstrates that the development can achieve the intent of the bushfire protection criteria to ensure safe vehicular access to/from and within the site, and the provision of a sufficient water supply for firefighting.

Emergency Evacuation Plan

The school is a vulnerable land use as defined in SPP 3.7 because it involves people who are unaware of their surroundings and may require assistance or direction in the event of a bushfire. As per SPP 3.7, a condition is recommended to prepare a Bushfire Emergency Evacuation Plan (BEEP) to be implemented in the event of a bushfire.

Water Corporation Sewer:

Sewer and reticulated water services are not currently available to the subject lot. Under the HEASP, development on the site is required to be connected to sewer because onsite effluent disposal is not suitable due to the environmental sensitivity and excessive clay edges of the Helena River foreshore.

Water Corporation advises that extension of the existing sewer and water mains from Amherst Road to the site is possible. Extension works are to be funded by the proponent. This requirement is recommended as a condition of approval.

Stormwater Drainage:

The applicant submitted a Water Management Plan prepared by Syrinx Environmental (dated June 2021). Stormwater is proposed to be contained and treated onsite via vegetated swales, with treated overflow water to be discharged into the Helena River.

The application was referred to the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) to comment on behalf of the Swan River Trust (SRT). DBCA has no objection to the proposal, subject to conditions to ensure stormwater is treated in accordance with the plan and the waterway is protected from construction works. These requirements are recommended as conditions of approval.

Flood Prone Area:

The north-western corner of the lot is flood prone, however no buildings are proposed within this area. The application was referred to the Department of Water and


Environmental Regulation (DWER), who advised that the proposal is acceptable with respect to major flooding.

ATCO Gas Pipeline:

The land is in close proximity to a high-pressure gas pipeline (ATCO Gas) located within Stirling Crescent, and is subject to Draft Development Control Policy 4.3 – Planning for High-Pressure Gas Pipelines (DC 4.3).

The proposed school is a ‘Sensitive’ land use under DC 4.3. This means the consequences of a pipeline failure may be increased because occupants may be less able to protect themselves or evacuate in the event of a gas pipeline emergency.

To protect the pipeline and manage risk to the school, ATCO Gas requires concrete slabbing to be installed over the pipeline for 121m, at the proponent’s cost. This is recommended as a condition of approval.

Provision of Public Art

The City's Local Planning Policy POL-LP-1.10 Provision of Public Art requires the owner to make a contribution to public art. This can be either a cash-in-lieu contribution of $35,000 (being 1% of the estimated $3.5 million development cost), or the provision of public art onsite to the value of $35,000. This is recommended as a condition of approval.

CONCLUSION

The Helena River Steiner School Community Association has made an application to relocate their existing Private Primary School from Spring Park Road in Midland to a larger site at Lot 13 Stirling Crescent, Hazelmere. The new site will accommodate an expanded Primary School offering a maximum 210 students and 18 staff.

The lot is zoned 'Special Use Zone 15' in the City's LPS17, which means that development is to be in accordance with an approved structure plan. There is no approved structure plan for the zone. Notwithstanding, the City may approve the development in the absence of a structure plan provided it is satisfied that such approval does not conflict with the principles of orderly and proper planning, and would not prejudice the overall development potential of the area.

The proposed use of the land as a School is considered to be consistent with the Land Use Intent for Precinct 2A “Helena River” under the approved Hazelmere Enterprise Area Structure Plan (HEASP), including the promotion of educational uses in the area, and that it will not conflict with the future provision of a road along the Helena River.

For these reasons City staff are satisfied that the development may be approved in the absence of a structure plan, without conflicting with the requirements of orderly and proper planning or prejudicing the development potential of Precinct 2A “Helena River”.

City staff are satisfied that proposed School will not cause adverse amenity impacts, nor traffic congestion on the local road network that would render it unsafe provided that the school’s pick-up and drop-off system is operated in a timely fashion.

It is recommended that the Council approve the ‘Educational Establishment’ (Private Primary School) at Lot 13 Stirling Crescent, Hazelmere subject to conditions.
