DA25/0665 - Four Grouped Dwellings - 88 Renou Street EAST CANNINGTON

Your comments are invited!

The City has received a development application for four (4) grouped dwellings at the above address.

Reason for Advertising

Western Australia’s planning legislation sets out statutory consultation requirements for a range of planning matters. This allows people who may be impacted by proposals and the community in general to comment on proposals.

In this instance, the application is being advertised to owners and occupiers in accordance with the City’s Local Planning Policy LP.11 – Public Consultation of Planning Proposals, as the proposal includes variations to the Residential Design Codes Volume 1 (R-Codes); which may have the potential for the amenity of adjoining properties and the street to be impacted.

The R-Codes provide a basis for the management of residential development throughout Western Australia. The R-Codes have two levels of assessment; a ‘Deemed-to-Comply’ and a ‘Design Principles’ assessment. The ‘Deemed-to-Comply’ provisions of the R-Codes are prescriptive in nature whereas the ‘Design Principles’ are more performance based. Where a proposal does not achieve the ‘deemed-to-comply’ pathway requirements, the proposal is to be considered against the relevant ‘design principles’ of the R-Codes.

Matters for Consideration
The following matter(s) require City's consideration:

1. R-Codes Volume 1 Clause 3.4 Lot Boundary Setback
   The R-Codes set out maximum boundary wall length requirements for buildings to achieve the deemed-to-comply requirements. The maximum permitted boundary wall length for the subject site is 32.2m to achieve the deemed-to-comply requirements.
   
   The proposal seeks a maximum boundary wall length of 41.76m as assessed under the R-Codes.

How to Submit Your Comments

Please send your written feedback to the City by 5:00pm on 12 March 2026 using the form below to submit your comments. You may also attach supporting documents such as plans, diagrams, or photographs.

Written submissions, including the affected property address, are not considered confidential and may be referred to the applicant to assist negotiations relating to the proposal. Personal contact details such as names, email addresses and telephone numbers, however, will not be provided to the applicant. Written submissions may also be the subject of Freedom of Information requests and included as attachments to any public planning report relating to the application.

In accordance with Part 8 of Local Planning Policy LP-11 – Public Consultation of Planning Proposals, if no response is received from a notified owner or occupier, the City will assume there are no comments. A lack of response will not be interpreted as either support or objection.

Guidance on what is a “valid” or “non-valid” planning consideration is provided in the City’s Local Planning Policy LP.11 – Public Consultation of Planning Proposals.

What happens following consultation?

Once the consultation period closes, a delegated officer of the City will assess the proposal, taking into account relevant planning considerations and any feedback received from affected landowners and occupiers.

If the City makes a decision on the development application (approval or refusal), we will contact you to explain how your comments were considered.

In some cases, the application may be referred to a Council meeting for determination. If this occurs, you will receive an invitation to attend or view the meeting online.
