My client's property is almost unsaleable, at a fair price, in this situation. They have no compensation rights if they wished to sell their property. Development proposals should be the State's responsibility rather than the Shire's. As the procedure to reserve land can take many years, owners of land affected by this proposal should immediately have compensation rights. In these situations the State often declares Planning Control Areas (PCA) that last for 5 years. For example the WAPC implemented PCA 126 in the Shire this year. PCAs are implemented whilst authorities accurately define the proposed works. PCAs give owners the same rights of compensation as reservations. We understand if the WAPC do not acquire but pay compensation and the proposed works are later cancelled that the same % of market value has to be repaid on sale of the property. This rarely happens. My clients request, as a matter of urgency, that the Shire seek the WAPC to declare a PCA over all of the land which is proposed as the rail realignment. My clients do not want to be in a situation where the WAPC agree to 1 Ordinary Council Meeting 17 December 2018 OCM148.1/12/18 NEW SUMMARY OF SUBMISSIONS Development Strategy – Mundijong District Structure Plan (Draft) Summary of submissions SJ2302 – E18/6969 Officer Submitter No Submitter Comments Officer Comment Recommendation purchase without a PCA in place.

The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) recommends that buffers with a minimum 50 metre width should be provided for CCW’s and REW”s that are proposed to be retained. It is recommended that detailed flora and fauna surveys consistent with Environmental Protection Authority Guidance and standards be undertaken to support the Local Structure Plans and subsequent planning proposals. It is the department expectation that the planning system will ensure that there is adequate separation for bush fire protection between future development and Bushland reserves and areas of State Forest, Bush forever sites, wetlands, and areas supporting threatened species and communities and conservation significant vegetation, and that all bush fire protection requirements are provided within the development land and do not place reliance or impositions on the management of the natural areas. The department supports having a perimeter road between residential development and POS, for reasons of public safety, protection of bushland within the POS and fire safety for residents. It is the department’s expectation that the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and the Shire of Serpentine and Jarrahdale will ensure that the Local Water Management Strategies and Urban Water Management Plans will consider the ecological water requirements of wetlands and water dependent threatened species and communities, and will maintain the predevelopment hydrology of these sites. Mundijong District Structure Plan The Mundijong District Structure Plan (MDSP) refers to thirty five species of threatened flora occurring within the DSP area, which is the same number listed for the BDSP area. This may be an error and should be reviewed. 3 Ordinary Council Meeting 17 December 2018 OCM148.1/12/18 NEW SUMMARY OF SUBMISSIONS Development Strategy – Mundijong District Structure Plan (Draft) Summary of submissions SJ2302 – E18/6969 Officer Submitter No Submitter Comments Officer Comment Recommendation The MDSP does not provide any information on the occurrences of Threatened Ecological Communities listed under the Commonwealth EPBC Act which occur with the DSP area, the presence of Conservation Category Wetlands, or provide any strategies or guidance for their protection. Occurrences of the following TEC”s are found in the DSP area, the Critically Endangered SCP 3C – Eucalyptus calophylla – Xanthorrhoea preissii woodlands and shrublands, the Critically Endangered SCP08 Herb rich shrublands in claypans, the Endangered SCP 3a Eucalyptus calophylla – Kingia australis woodlands on heavy soils, the Vulnerable SCP 3B – Eucalyptus calophylla – Eucalyptus marginata woodland on sandy clay soils of the Southern Swan Coastal Plain, and the Banksia dominated woodlands of the Swan Coastal Plain listed as Endangered under the Environmental Protection Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).
