Landscaping Requirements for Industrial & Commercial Areas POLICY DP-06 LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS FOR INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL AREAS Document Control Statement –This Policy is maintained by Planning Services. Any printed copy may not be up to date and you are advised to check the electronic copy at http://intranet/ to ensure that you have the current version. Alternatively, you may contact Customer Service on (08) 9186 8555. 1. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this Policy are to: 1) Encourage landscaping that promotes the beautification of industrial and commercial areas. 2) Promote water-wise principles. 3) Retain significant vegetation. 4) Ensure landscaping design does not compromise visibility or personal security in streets and around buildings. 5) Encourage the development of landscaping themes in streets. 6) Provide guidance on the establishment of landscaping within street verges. 7) Assist in the screening of externally stored goods and materials that would otherwise detract from the streetscape. 8) Encourage the use of landscaping buffers where significant development such as resource processing is located in close proximity to major tourist drives, the coast or other sensitive land uses. 2. PRINCIPLES This policy applies in the industry, strategic industry, industrial development, town centre, commercial, tourism and mixed business zones within the whole of the City of Karratha (Shire) and forms part of the City of Karratha Town Planning Scheme No. 8 (the Scheme). To the extent where this policy is inconsistent with an approved Development Area Plan (DAP), the DAP shall prevail. To the extent where this policy is inconsistent with an approved Development Area Plan (DAP), the DAP shall prevail. 2.1 Preparation of Planning Applications – The Role of the Development Services Department Prior to engaging a consultant, or preparing an application on behalf of a client, it is recommended that you first confirm with Development Services what Council approvals are required and obtain all relevant information. Whilst Development Services are not in a position to prepare applications including those for planning approval, building licence applications, applications for the registration of a lodging house or applications to construct or install an apparatus for the treatment of sewerage, it is often beneficial to seek feedback when preliminary plans have been prepared to ensure all relevant information is submitted and that fundamental or mandatory requirements have been met. Applications for which further information is required will take longer to process. Development Services can be contacted on 9186 8569. City of Karratha – Development Services Policies Page 1 Policy DP06 Landscaping Requirements for Industrial and Commercial Areas – Town Planning Scheme No. 8 2.2 What requires a Planning Application? The establishment of landscaping is usually required to be undertaken in conjunction with the development of a site and forms part of the planning approval. If approved as part of a planning application, approval may also be required to substantially alter the landscaping or vary any condition pertaining to that landscaping. Gardening including the replacement of dead or diseased plants with like species, maintenance of garden beds, lopping and reticulation does not require planning approval. 2.3 Application Procedure When applying for planning approval, the application must include a landscaping plan having regard to the following: The location of existing and proposed buildings and structures including onsite services, e.g. overhead power lines, sewers, drains and underground power. The location and species of plants to be retained or removed including within the street verge. The areas subject to landscaping works. The areas to be reticulated and the systems to be used. The percentage of the site devoted to landscaping (town centre zone only). A species schedule stating height upon maturity. Other materials to be imported, arranged and/or constructed on the site (e.g. the preparation of garden beds and location of retaining structures or water features). The proposed staging, if any, of works. 2.3.1 Location of Landscaping Generally all landscaping shall be located within property boundaries although, where appropriate such as forward of solid front fencing, consideration will be given to landscaping within street verges. Existing Trees: Significant trees and shrubs already in existence on the site should be retained where practical. The minimum extent of removal necessary for the development will be supported. Offset planting achieving a ‘net gain’ is encouraged. 2.3.2 Landscaping Themes: Where applicable the landscaping plan is encouraged to promote a theme such as colour, plant origin, pedestrian comfort or land marking where imposing vegetation is required to define an industrial or commercial area. To give a development a pleasing aesthetic effect and ensure that the landscaping ‘fits in’ with the appearance and purpose of the area, the plan is encouraged to: - Consider pedestrian comfort in commercial areas. - Consider the appearance and colour schedule of buildings, structures, and hard standing areas on the site. - Look for elements in other vegetation in the street that form a continuing pattern and, if a pattern exists, extend the pattern to the landscaping in the proposed development. 2.3.3 Design Out Crime Principles: Where landscaping is proposed in Commercial Zones or public places your landscaping plan should implement the principles in Designing Out Crime by the Western Australian Office of Crime Prevention by proposing: Clear sight lines between pedestrian areas, streets and buildings which allow natural surveillance and reduce opportunities for crime, Low walls (below 1 metre) and visually permeable fencing, High street lighting that does not interfere with night vision, City of Karratha – Development Services Policies Page 2 Policy DP06 Landscaping Requirements for Industrial and Commercial Areas – Town Planning Scheme No. 8 Pathways with splayed openings and short length where bounded by private land, width sufficient for two [2] people to pass without deviation or close contact and terminating at higher order public space, Separation of pedestrian paths and bicycle paths, Bushes and leafy vegetation generally below waist level, tree canopies above eye level to improve visibility. 2.3.4 Unattractive Buildings and Structures: Where, in the opinion of the Shire, buildings or structures are deemed to be unattractive or overly impose on the streetscape, are located in close proximity to major tourist drives, the coast or other sensitive land uses further regard to the quality and quantity of landscaping in addition to fencing and other screening techniques shall be employed. Such buildings and structures include, but are not limited to: Buildings with a limited or reduced setback distance to a street frontage. Rubbish bin compounds, transformers and wash down bays. Lay down areas or areas used for the outdoor display of goods. Significant industrial development such as resource processing. 2.3.5 Parking and Manoeuvring Areas: Landscaping of car parks shall take into account all necessary pedestrian and vehicular sight lines. Planting shall maintain all necessary sight lines. All car parking areas shall be planted to be screened externally, and planted internally to break up large expanses of paved surfaces. As a guide, external landscape strips shall be a minimum of 1 metre wide. Internally an equivalent of one [1] in every ten [10] bays is encouraged to be landscaped. 2.3.6 Power Lines and Services: Overhead power lines and underground services shall be considered in the provision of landscaping to ensure, upon maturity, no hazardous or potentially damaging situation is created. 2.3.7 Recommended Plant Types: Selecting the right plants for your garden is essential in order to minimise water usage and maintenance costs, reduce the potential of damage during extreme weather, and to enhance the amenity of your site. Consideration should be given to: Upon maturity, the potential to compromise visibility or personal security in streets and around buildings, interfere with services including overhead power lines, and the propensity to drop limbs particularly on vehicles. The ability to provide shade to buildings, pedestrians and vehicles. Water consumption and ongoing maintenance costs (fertilizer, insecticides and pruning). The recommended plants are in Schedules 1 and 2 and some photos (in alphabetical order of name of species) are in Schedule 3. The Water Corporation provides useful information in the publication Garden Tips for the West Pilbara. http://www.watercorporation.com.au/P/publications_waterwise_garden.cfm City of Karratha – Development Services Policies Page 3 Policy DP06 Landscaping Requirements for Industrial and Commercial Areas – Town Planning Scheme No. 8 2.3.8 Preparation of Shrubbery Areas: Due to the harsh climatic conditions that prevail within the Council and the predominance of weeds, preparatory treatment of planting beds is essential. Preferred treatment includes preparatory removal of all existing weed growth, the provision of rolled gravel approximately 10cm in depth (minimum) on the soil in which vegetation is planted, or alternatively a 6-8cm layer of woodchip, or mulch. The aim of this treatment is to prevent soil loss through wind erosion, water loss and reduce weed penetration. Other methods of achieving this aim may be considered however, the provision of a plastic treatment alone is not acceptable.

Highclere Hills N Gibson & M N Lyons Science Division, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Wildlife Research Center, PO Box 51 Wanneroo, WA 6065 email: [email protected] [email protected] (Manuscript received July 2000; accepted November 2001) Abstract A study of the flora and plant communities of the Highclere Hills (which lie some 25 km NNW of Bullfinch) recorded 242 taxa in the spring of 1996. Of these, 217 taxa were native and 25 were weeds. The flora list includes Acacia xerophila var brevior, Stenanthemum newbeyi and Tricoryne tuberosa ms, which represent significant range extensions for these taxa. No endemic taxa were found on the Highclere Hills. Five community types were defined from 45 quadrats spread across the Hills. The distribution of these community types appears to be primarily related to edaphic factors that were largely independent of topographic position. None of the five community types is known from conservation reserves. The vegetation patterning of the Highclere Hills is not as complex as that found on nearby ranges due to a more subdued topography. There has been widespread impact on the vegetation of the Highclere Hills by mineral exploration and mining and there is an urgent need to improve environmental management of mineral exploration activities.

  • Palatability of Plants to Camels (DBIRD NT)
    Technote No. 116 June 2003 Agdex No: 468/62 ISSN No: 0158-2755 The Palatability of Central Australian Plant Species to Camels Dr B. Dorges, Dr J. Heucke, Central Australian Camel Industry Association and R. Dance, Pastoral Division, Alice Springs BACKGROUND About 600,000 camels (Camelus dromedarius) are believed to inhabit the arid centre of Australia, mainly in South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Most of these camels are feral. A small camel industry has developed, which harvests selected animals for domestic and export markets, primarily for meat. Camels can eat more than 80% of the common plant species found in Central Australia. Some plant species are actively sought by camels and may need to be protected. METHOD Observations of grazing preferences by camels were made periodically for up to 12 years on five cattle stations in Central Australia. Where camels were accustomed to the presence of humans, it was possible to observe their grazing preferences from a few metres. Radio transmitters were fitted on some camels for easy detection and observation at any time. These evaluations were used to establish a diet preference or palatability index for observed food plants. Table 1. Palatability index for camels Index Interpretation 1 only eaten when nothing else is available 2 rarely eaten 3 common food plant 4 main food plant at times 5 preferred food plant 6 highly preferred food plant 7 could be killed by camel browsing More information can be obtained from the web site of the Central Australian Camel Industry Association http://www.camelsaust.com.au 2 RESULTS Table 2.

  • Environmental Water Management in the Fitzroy River Valley Information Availability, Knowledge Gaps and Research Needs
    Environmental Water Management in the Fitzroy River Valley Information availability, knowledge gaps and research needs Bradley J. Pusey The University of Western Australia & Jarrod Kath Western Australian Department of Water i Executive Summary The Fitzroy River is the largest river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and contains significant biological, conservation and geoheritage values. Socio/cultural values, especially Indigenous values, are significant also but are not considered here. Current land use is dominated by rangeland grazing and very limited irrigated agriculture. The water resources of the basin are significant and potentially available for expanded agricultural development but the impact on the environment of increased water use, especially of groundwater is largely unknown. The current report addresses the availability of information that could be used to guide the formation and implementation of management strategies aimed at maintaining existing values. Currently available information useful in this regard is highly limited. Moreover, available information was found to be rarely in a form (i.e. quantitative relationships between flow and environmental factors) that would enable a full assessment of the impacts of different water resource use scenarios to be undertaken. Similarly, there is limited information that could provide the basis for ongoing assessment (i.e. monitoring) of the efficacy of any imposed water management strategies. Significant knowledge gaps were identified relating to five major themes: 1. The nature of aquatic habitats in the basin and their relationship to the flow regime and groundwater and including identity, extent and distribution, connectivity and conservation value; 2. Responses of riparian, floodplain and groundwater dependent vegetation to changes in water regime; 3.

Lyons Department of Parks and Wildlife, Science and Conservation Division, Kieran McNamara Conservation Science Centre, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract – A survey of riparian fl ora and plant communities was undertaken at 98 wetlands and rivers in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Sampling was quadrat-based, with fl oristics, surface soils and wetland attributes recorded. Selected sites captured the full range of Pilbara wetland types including springs, river pools, claypans, salt marshes and rock pools. A total of 455 taxa was recorded from the survey sites, representing ca. 25% of the known fl ora of the Pilbara bioregion. The fl ora is dominated by taxa with Eremaean and tropical affi nities, with only six taxa endemic in the region. Of recorded taxa known from four or fewer bioregions, most are shared with the adjacent Carnarvon and Gascoyne bioregions rather than the adjoining internally draining deserts. Sixteen taxa of conservation signifi cance were documented, with claypans, the Fortescue Marsh, and Millstream and Karijini National Park sites dominating occurrences of rare species. Eight major groups were defi ned by classifying wetlands in terms of species presence/absence data. Floristic patterning was strongly aligned with the major wetland types (geomorphic/hydrological) used in the primary sampling stratifi cation. A combination of wetland morphology/hydrological setting, site edaphic attributes and distance to the coast were dominant variables related to riparian fl oristic composition.

  • The Coastal Habitats and Vegetation of the Kimberley Region
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 94: 197–206, 2011 The coastal habitats and vegetation of the Kimberley region I D Cresswell 1, P Bridgewater 2 & V Semeniuk 3 1 CSIRO Wealth from Oceans Flagship, GPO Box 1538, Hobart, Tasmania, 7001 2 The Wharfside, Station Place, Peel, Isle of Man, British Isles 3 V & C Semeniuk Research Group, 21 Glenmere Rd., Warwick, W.A., 6024 Manuscript received March 2011; accepted April 2011 Abstract Incorporating the areas of the rocky Kimberley Coast, flanked by the deltaic gulfs of Cambridge Gulf and King Sound, as well as the Dampier Peninsula, the Kimberley region host a complicated coastal zone with a plethora of coastal habitats. The smallest scale of habitat includes rocky cliff, scree slopes, gravelly/bouldery shore, sandy beaches, spits, dunes, tidal mud flats, alluvial fans, and the contact between some of these habitats and freshwater. The main vegetation units include mangroves, shrubby chenopods (which include succulent halophytic shrubs), saline marsh, sedgelands, rushlands, dune scrub, dune grasslands, and teatree thickets. The spatially and temporally variable landscape, sediments/soils, and hydrochemistry expressed at the coast mean that the coastal vegetation habitats are the most complex habitats in the Kimberley region. This review found that to date these have not been fully explored or described botanically. Keywords: Kimberley Coast, coast, coastal habitats, mangrove, saltmarsh, mangal, chenopod Introduction formations, soils, water availability, and climate; in the coastal zone vegetation distribution (and its component Perhaps the first general survey of coastal ecosystems flora) responds to a wider variety of environmental in Western Australia was Sauer (1965), which dealt, inter factors including physiography, groundwater alia, with the Kimberley coast.
