$8,595,000
The application proposes the development of Stage 1 of a master plan for a new
lifestyle retirement village. The Master Plan comprises four stages proposing a range
of uses including separate residential residences (187), community and recreation
facilities, market garden, landscaped areas, caravan parking, provisions for future
residential aged care facility (built and run by another entity) and a new road to the
south of the Master Plan site.
Stage 1 proposes the community and recreation facilities, residential lots, sales
office, parking and landscaping.
The application site is located to the south-east of the Dunsborough town site, on the
south-east of Commonage Road, south of the intersection with Caves Road. The
site is accessed off Commonage Road, which also provides access to Dunsborough
Enterprise Park which is located directly opposite the site and Dunsborough Lakes,
to the north-west. Directly to the north of the site is Dunsborough Lakes Holiday
Resort and Caravan Park. There is a current development application with the City to
extend the camping area directly to the east of the site (DA15/0420). Agricultural land
is located to the east and south of the site, with Commonage Road running along the
Page 5
western boundary, which is mostly lined by established trees. A number of tourist
chalets are located approximately 300 metres south of the site.
The site is currently vacant and has been previously approved for the purpose of
caravan and camping site. This approved use has undergone a number of
modifications over the years. In November 2012 the Minister for Planning granted
approval for Town Planning Scheme No. 20 Amendment 171. The Amendment
introduces Special Provision 53 over Lot 21 which allowed for the use of up to, but no
more than, 15% of any future caravan sites developed on-site with no restriction on
length of stay, with the remainder of the sites to be for short-stay purposes only. This
site has remained undeveloped.

Total of proposed development for first three stages

The master plan area has a total requirement for 252 standard parking bays as a
requirement for residents and their visitors and 17 parking spaces for employees in
the facilities (it is understood that some of the residents will be employed or volunteer
within the facilities). The proposed development is offering 370 parking bays for
residents (as double garages), 35 parking bays for visitors and employees and 34
caravan parking spaces.
Stage 1 will provide 72 on-site car parking spaces for residents and visitors. This
development application includes 36 residential lots; the application does not include
detailed design of these lots. However, the design concept plans do indicate that all
options will have a double garage.
Stage 1 also provides 27 car parking spaces for employees and visitors of the
community recreation facilities, a maximum of 15 spaces for employees and 12
spaces for visitors. The sales office will provide 8 car parking spaces for two
employees and visitors. A total of 107 car parking spaces will be provided at Stage 1
including 1 ACROD parking bay in the social/recreational component of the proposed
development.

Provided that the community and leisure facilities are only to be utilised by residents,
these parking figures are considered acceptable.

It is likely that the residents of the dwellings will be able to store their bicycles (16
required spaces) and equipment within their garages, and also provide visitor parking
outside or in their own garage if necessary.
Six bicycle spaces will be provided for employees in Stage 1, located around the
community/ recreation facilities and sales office. Details of these spaces will be
conditioned.
The total delivery and service parking requirements for Stage 1 is three bays. The
service yard north from the community facilities will need to be redesigned to
accommodate comfortably up to two service vehicles for the sales office and the
community facilities although it is not expected that service vehicles will utilise this
space concurrently. Road pavement for the internal road network has sufficient width
to cater for the requirements of servicing vehicles attracted by the residential
component of the proposed development.
The Traffic Impact Assessment does highlight (within Appendix 3 – Vehicle Turning
Circle Plans) a number of proposed minor road designs to align with the service
vehicle swept paths analysis carried out.
Consultation:
Public Consultation
The application was formally advertised in the local newspaper for a period of 14
days expiring on the 16 September 2015. Adjoining landowners were also notified via
letter. One submission was received which was a letter of support.
Consultation with other Agencies or Consultants
Page 11
Consultation was undertaken with Department of Water and Water Corporation. No
other agencies were identified as requiring consultant. The advice received from
each agency is summarised below.
Department of Water
The Department of Water has noted that this development application includes a
Local Water Management Strategy (LWMS) (Revision E dated 16/09/15), which the
Department and the City have assessed and found to meet their requirements.
It is noted that this does not provide exemption to gain any statutory local
government or other agency planning approvals, nor other approval that may be
required under the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act 1914, relating to water
allocations, dewatering licences and permits to interfere with beds and banks of
water courses.
In the event there are modifications to the plan that may have implications on aspects
of water management and hence the LWMS, the Department should be notified to
enable the implications to be assessed.
Water Corporation
It is noted that the development has been planned within one lot; therefore the
Corporation’s services will be available from Commonage Road. All other services to
the individual buildings will be private.
Reticulated water will be able to be made available to the subject area.
It was previously stated that reticulated sewerage (by gravity) can be made available
to serve part of the subject area, and the remainder of the lot will need to be pumped.
In order to confirm the ability to service under this approach, the Corporation would
need to do a full planning review incorporating the proposed Local Planning Strategy.
A recent interim review has indicated that the existing sewerage main in Commonage
Road would not be able to handle flow from this development, as well as other
previously planned flows from the current catchment.
As an interim/temporary measure, the whole flow may need to be pumped via a
private/temporary pump and pressure main to a discharge point at an alternative
sewer main located at the intersection of Aldercress Approach and Birkdale Green.
The feasibility of this approach still needs to be verified. Wastewater planning
incorporating the proposed Local Planning Strategy (it is understood this may not be
available until 2017) will be conducted to assess servicing for this development
incorporating the wider system.
The proposed water and wastewater reticulation extensions/strategy outlined in the
report will need to be further refined by the developer’s consultant engineers at the
development stage in consultation with the Water Corporation’s Land Servicing
Section.
The subject area falls within the Busselton Drainage District. The Water
Corporation’s drainage system can only accept predevelopment flow; hence the
developer will need to compensate any additional flows on their own lands.
Page 12
The principle followed by the Water Corporation for the funding of subdivision or
development is one of user pays. The developer is expected to provide all water and
sewerage reticulation. In addition the developer is to fund new works or the
upgrading of existing works and protection of all works. A contribution for Water,
Sewerage and Drainage headworks may also be required.
Planning assessment:
The proposed development is located within the “Agricultural” zone within the City of
Busselton Local Planning Scheme 21. The applicant considers that the proposed use
class falls under “Aged Persons Home” and that the local government can exercised
its discretion by granting planning approval after giving special notice in accordance
with clause 10.4 of TPS21 (“A” land use under the zoning table). The definition of
Aged Persons Home in TPS21 is “a building or group of buildings used primarily as a
residence for aged persons and may include a hostel and/or nursing home.”
However, it is considered that the proposed Stage 1 development is more accurately
referred to as a Retirement Village, defined under TPS21 as “any land or buildings
used to accommodate retirees, together with ancillary facilities, but does not include
Park Home Park.” This is a “Use not listed” within the zoning table and falls under
Clause 4.4.2 of the Scheme, this gives the local government the discretion to
determine whether or not the use proposed is consistent with the objectives of the
permitted zone.
Prematurity Issue
Given the nature of the proposed development, retirement village with recreational
facilities, it is considered that the proposal is an urban development. The site is not
within an urban development zone, it is within the “Agricultural” zone in accordance
with LSP21. In accordance with Clause 4.2.6(f) of the LPS21, an objective of the
Agriculture zone is “To exclude urban development. Any such land adjacent to
existing urban areas and identified as generally suitable for urban development may
be used for urban development after it has been suitably rezoned”. Therefore the
proposal could very reasonably be considered premature in this location because it
does not have the appropriate zoning or structure planning.
The proposed site is identified by the draft Local Planning Strategy (LPS) as a
potential greenfield urban growth area ‘Quindalup South 16’, where district level
structure planning is required before subdivision and development can take place.
The draft LPS has not yet been advertised and is currently with the WAPC for
consent to advertise. It is expected that the draft LPS will go before the South West
Regional Planning Committee mid-November. It is anticipated that a decision will be
received to adopt the LPS with minor modifications, but that the site will be part of an
identified, future urban growth area. Officers estimate that the draft LPS is likely to
be advertised publicly in early 2016.
The ‘indicative structure plan’ provided by the applicant has been designed around
and in response to the aged persons development proposal for Lot 21, rather than
the normal process whereby structure planning determines the best location for
different land uses, and incorporates a robust local/district road network accordingly.
Therefore officers do not consider this ‘indicative structure plan’ represents orderly
and proper planning of this area and should not be considered to have any weight in
the determination of this proposal.
Page 13
The City would nevertheless like to facilitate this proposal however the problem
caused by this being a premature development is its locational impact on
Dunsborough’s future growth.
Impact on Dunsborough’s Future Growth
This site is very important in the long term development of Dunsbourough and vital to
its future growth in south easterly direction, which is the only direction in which
Dunsborough can expand physically.
The State Planning Policy 6.1 Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge (LNRSPP) identifies
Dunsborough as one of three highest order settlements with a permanent ultimate
population of up to 20,000. The Development Investigation Area in the LNRSPP for
the potential growth of Dunsborough is limited to Lot 6 Commonage Road (53
hectares and currently zoned ‘Industrial’). The land has been zoned for industrial
purposes for many years, but never developed. The size of the Development
Investigation Area combined with environmental constraints as identified in the Local
Environmental Planning Strategy (poorly represented vegetation) means it cannot
provide sufficient land needed for Dunsborough to grow to 15,000+ people.
Dunsborough’s current growth is largely reliant on two existing estates, Dunsborough
Lakes and to a lesser extent Cape Rise.
For Dunsborough to grow to 15,000+, the draft LPS has identified that both
consolidation and physical expansion of the town will be necessary. Physical
expansion is constrained by: Meelup Regional Park and rural residential land to the
north; environmental and visual landscape considerations to the west; the existing
Commonage rural-residential area to the southwest and wetlands/other
environmental considerations to the east (specifically the area between Caves Road
and the Vasse-Dunsborough Link alignment). The land generally in a south/south
east direction from Dunsborough Lakes is the least environmentally constrained and
is generally flat and for those reasons is identified within the draft LPS as a mediumterm urban growth area (Quindalup South 16). The proposed retirement village is
located in this area.
The City’s land/dwelling supply projections suggest that Quindalup South (16) is
likely to be required to be delivering lots by around 2021 (for dwellings to be created
by around 2023), otherwise there is likely to be little or no new land supply in
Dunsborough.
The landownership pattern in the Quindalup South (16) area is fragmented and
market choice, supply and competition within the Dunsborough urban area is likely to
remain limited. For these reasons, planning processes are likely to take longer and
therefore the commencement of structure planning on final adoption of the LPS is
supported. Planning for Quindalup South should involve the preparation of a districtlevel structure plan, consistent with Liveable Neighbourhoods, to deliver planned,
integrated settlement expansion for Dunsborough to accommodate 5,000 people and
also consider providing for the following: •
•
•
•
Secondary commercial centre
Residential development cells
Public high school site
Industrial & service commercial area
Page 14
•
•
•
Robust district road network to facilitate longer term growth (and
strengthen links to Caves Road via Biddle Road)
District recreational open space
Environmental corridor(s)/conservation areas
The problem with the proposed retirement village development site is that a
development here will only addresses a portion of the land identified for future
development in the draft LPS. It does not address land holdings located to the east
and south east (Lot 726 and the remainder of Lot 2761 and beyond) which are also
located within the future development area.
The indicative master plan that accompanies this development application does
propose a future road reserve to potentially facilitate access to landholdings to the
east and south east. This future road reserve is proposed half on Lot 21 and half on
Lot 22. Although this will help facilitate development to the south, it has the potential,
if Lot 22 is not developed, to prevent development to the east resulting in lots
becoming land locked until Lot 22 is developed. Officers do not consider this to be an
acceptable outcome and consider that the future road reserve should be provided for
entirely on Lot 21 with the land ceded to the City to support the further development
potential of landholdings to the east of the proposed site.
This approach would be acceptable to the City as it will help to facilitate the future
development of Dunsborough as set out within the draft LPS. Stage 3 of the
retirement village mater plan will need to be revisited in order to accommodate the
road reserve.
This development would not be acceptable if the road reserve was not provided
wholly on the proposed retirement village site officers consider that it would adversely
prejudice the planned future grown of Dunsborough, resulting from the prematurity
issue.
Although it is the City’s view that the proposal is premature due to lack of appropriate
zoning and structure planning, it is noted that the Department of Planning (DoP)
broadly support this area to be zoned Urban in line with the City’s draft LPS. It is
considered that the proposed development would sit well in this location given the
existing surrounding uses, such as the Dunsborough Lakes Holiday Resort to the
north, Dunsborough Lakes Enterprise Park to the west and Dunsborough Lakes
residential development to the north-west.
It is considered that this type of development (retirement village) could be beneficial
to the Dunsborough community, catering for the long term needs of an aging
population as is indicated in the current population trends. By approving this
development at this time, however, future structure planning options will be
compromised and this development will not be required to participate in cost-sharing
and additional developer Contribution requirements that are likely to apply to other
developments in this planned urban growth area.
Other Issues Considered
Independent Living Units (ILU)
The site density of Stage 1 is 33.5 dwellings per hectares. The residential density
proposed is considered acceptable in this area. If the site was zoned within the urban
Page 15
area, Stage 1 would closely align to R-Code 35. The proposed lots have an averages
site area of 290m2 per dwelling, which aligns with R35 and is considered acceptable
on this site.
This development application is to determine the use of these lots as residential units
not the detail design. Although the applicant has provided 4 indicative house concept
designs these do not form part of the overall determination for this development
application.
Sales Office & Community and Recreational Facilities
Provided adequate servicing can be achieved and the overall purpose is to serve the
retirement village only it is considered that the sales office and community and
recreation facilities area acceptable in their proposed location. Adequate parking has
been provided and the building heights and design comply with the standards set out
in LPS21 and Local Planning Policy.
Landscape Buffer along Commonage Road
It has been determined that 5 metres of the 30 metres wide buffer of Lot 21 fronting
Commonage Road needs to be ceded as a road reserve to enable possible future
road widening and construction of four lanes of 3.1 metres each with a central
median of 5 metres.
Public Open Space
It is noted that as prescribed under Development Control Policy 2.3 – Public Open
Space in Residential Areas and Livable Neighborhoods the Western Australian
Planning Commission’s normal requirement in residential areas is that 10 percent of
the gross subdivisible area be given up free of cost by the subdivider and vested in
the the Crown under the provisions of Section 20A of the Town Planning and
Development Act, 1928 (as amended) as a Reserve for Recreation. In certain
circumstances the Commission, in consultation with the Local Government, may
require a cash-in-lieu payment in lieu of the provision of land for public open space.
The applicant has advised that at no point will the development be subdivided and
therefore it is not possible for the provision of public open space to be required at the
subdivision stage. However, it is deemed that the development will have a similar
impact upon the demand for public open space within the area as a residential
subdivision, and were it part of an overall structure planning area, would be subject of
POS requirements at subdivision stages. It is therefore considered appropriate to
require the applicant/landowner be required to make cash-in-lieu payments towards
the provision of public open space. Further to this, as this lot is zoned “Agriculture” it
is deemed that the public open space within the locality has not been provided to
accommodate for such a large residential development on the site.
As some communal recreational facilities are proposed to be provided within the
development it is deemed that the provision of public open space, or cash-in-lieu,
shall be required at a reduced rate of 8%.
Conclusion:
The proposed development broadly accords with Local Planning Scheme No. 21 and
the draft Local Planning Strategy and it is therefore recommend that the application
be approved, subject to conditions.

Thank you for your letter dated 26 August 2015. The Water Corporation offers the
following comments in regard to this proposal.
It is noted that the development been planned within one lot, therefore the

Wastewater Servicing
Thank you for your letter dated 26 August 2015, and our previous letter dated 14
September 2015. The Water Corporation has reviewed the approach to providing a
wastewater service for the development and offers the following additional comments
in regard to this proposal.
It was previously stated that reticulated sewerage (by gravity) can be made available
to serve part of the subject area, and the remainder of the lot will need to be pumped.
In order to confirm the ability to service under this approach, the Corporation would
need to do a full planning review incorporating the proposed District Structure Plan.
A recent interim review has indicated that the DN225 in Commonage Road would not
be able to handle flow from this development, as well as other previously planned
flows from the current catchment.
As an interim/temporary measure, the whole flow may need to be pumped via a
private/temporary pump and pressure main to a discharge point at Access Chamber
1156 (into a DN300) at the intersection of Aldercress Approach and Birkdale Green.
The feasibility of this approach still needs to be verified. Wastewater planning
incorporating the proposed District Structure Plan (it is understood this may not
available till 2017) will be conducted to assess servicing for this development
incorporating the wider system.
As previously stated, the proposed wastewater reticulation extensions/strategy
outlined in the report will need to be further refined by the developer’s consultant

Please pass this additional information on to the developer or their agents.

LWMS for Lot 21 Commonage Road, Dunsborough
Thursday, 17 September 2015 8:32:57 AM
Final Shire and DoW comments LWMS Lot 21 Commonage Road 16-09-15.xlsx
Revision E of the LWMS for Lot 21 Commonage Road, Dunsborough (dated 16/09/15 and
received 16/09/15) meets the requirements of the Department of Water and City of Busselton.
A history of the department’s comments and corresponding actions is provided in the attached
comment tracking spreadsheet for details.
It should be noted that this does not provide exemption to gain any statutory local government
or other agency planning approvals, nor other approvals that may be required under the Rights
in Water and Irrigation Act 1914, relating to water allocations, dewatering licences and permits
to interfere with beds and banks of water courses.
In the event there are modifications to the structure plan that may have implications on aspects
of water management and hence the LWMS, the department should be notified to enable the
implications to be assessed.
Yours faithfully,
