DA25/0377- Front Fence to Medical Centre - 1136 Albany Highway BENTLEY

Your comments are invited for a security fence at 1136 Albany Highway.

The City has received a development application is for the installation of a 2.2 m high Garrison-style security fence around the subject site. The fence will include multiple vehicle access gates and a pedestrian gate from John Street. The fence and gates are intended to cross over an existing right of carriageway easement that is to the benefit of the public and the City, with the gates being kept open during business hours.

Matters for Your Consideration

Under Local Planning Policy LP.06 – Albany Highway Access Network, a right of carriageway easement is required to the subject site and nearby properties with the intention of providing public access from John Street to 1120–1124 Albany Highway. Although this easement currently exists over the lot, the proposal seeks to temporarily close it by installing a fence and gate(s) within the property.
