Part 2 of this LSP is for explanatory purposes only, in order to provide a descriptive analysis of the LSP. 4.2 In the event of there being any inconsistencies or conflict between the provisions, standards or requirements of the Scheme and the provisions, standards or requirements of this LSP, then the provisions, standards or requirements of the Scheme shall prevail to the extent of any inconsistency. Draft 5.0 Operation Date In accordance with sub-clause 5.18.6 of the Scheme, this LSP shall come into operation when it is adopted by the Shire pursuant to sub- clause 5.18.6.1. 6.0 Zones, Reserves and Residential Density Codes The LSP delineates and depicts the zones, reserves and residential density codes applicable to the LSP area according to the legend thereon. 2 OCM275.3/12/15 The zones, reserves and residential density codes designated under this LSP apply to the land within it as if they were incorporated in the Scheme. Subdivision and development shall generally be in accordance with the LSP or any variations as approved by the Shire and the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC). An overlay plan will be required for all sites coded R5 at 'street block' level, demonstrating how the higher densities can be achieved in the future if and when reticulated sewerage becomes available. 7.0 Provisions 7.1 Local Development Plans (LDPs) (formerly referred to as Detailed Area Plans) shall be prepared for certain significantly located or irregularly shaped residential lots within the LSP area. Such lots requiring LDPs are identified under part 7.4.1 Local Development Plans of the LSP. Information detailed in a LDP may include, but is not limited to: Building Envelopes; Setbacks; Building Orientation; Vehicle and Pedestrian Access Arrangements; Retention of Vegetation; Fencing; Development Provisions; and Building protection/hazard reduction. 7.2 The implementation of the LSP will be facilitated through development and subdivision approvals which may be required to include wider contextual analysis. Where necessary, planning consideration should include elements of development outside of the LSP area. 7.3 Development proposalsDraft that comply with the provisions of this LSP or an approved LDP are exempt from obtaining Planning Approval under Clause 5.1.2. of the Scheme. Separate Planning Approval obtained through the lodgement of a Development Application shall only be required if variations to the proposed LDP are proposed. 7.4 The implementation of the LSP will be facilitated through development and subdivision approvals which shall generally conform to the LSP. Applications shall generally comply with the Character Statement and Development Principles listed in the following sub-section: 7.4.1 Local Development Plans (LDPs) LDPs are required for but not limited to the following lots contained within the LSP: 3 OCM275.3/12/15 Richardson Street (Lot 84; Lot 1; Lot 82; part of Lot 14; part of Lot 12; part of Lot 10) Reason – Adjacent to Bush Forever, proximity to railway line and abuts public open space / drainage. Karnup Road (part of Lot 17; part of Lot 18) Reason – Irregular lot shape. Rudall Street (part of Lot 102) Reason – Abuts public open space / drainage. Arnold Road (Lot 98; part of Lot 106) Reason – Abuts public open space / drainage. 7.4.2 Character Statement The development and subdivision of land within the LSP area will be undertaken over an extended timeframe during which the Townsite will evolve as a significant community, commercial and civic locality in the Shire. Whilst cognisant of the land’s urban zoning which will facilitate the development of the area as a modern contemporary neighbourhood, it is equally important that the site’s character and rural history is captured and reflected in the LSP. 7.4.3 Visual Amenity and View Corridors The visual amenity and view corridors within the subject area have been considered in the context of the current landscape within the LSP area. The main view corridors are facing the Darling Scarp, Serpentine River and the Serpentine Sports Reserve which could all contribute to public amenity. In general, the study area has a gentle undulating topography with vegetation present along most of the boundaries. 7.4.4 Community Design Principles Draft The LSP is intended as a guide for future urban development with the objective of generally identifying appropriate locations for housing types and densities whilst permitting flexibility to ensure the delivery of a diverse range of dwelling styles. 7.4.5 Biodiversity Principles The primary objective of the Shire’s Local Biodiversity Strategy is to maintain and enhance natural vegetation, living streams and biodiversity throughout the Shire where possible. It specifies the aim of incorporating biodiversity conservation values as a guide to development assessment. 7.4.6 Solar Design and Resource Efficiency Principles 4 OCM275.3/12/15 Lot layout through subdivision and the construction of dwellings and ancillary development needs to be orientated to maximise opportunities for solar passive design and energy
