DA26/0187 - Thirteen Single Storey Grouped Dwellings - 37 & 39 Campbell Street EAST CANNINGTON WA 6107
Your comments are invited!
The City has received a Development Application to consider Thirteen Single Storey Grouped Dwellings at the subject site.
As part of the assessment of this application, adjoining/nearby affected owners and occupiers are invited to view the development plans and supporting reports (as applicable), and make comment on the planning matters that affect their property.
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.
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 development proposes variations to the Deemed to comply provisions
5.1.3 - Lot boundary setback
The dwelling has a proposed setback of 1.5m along the north-western lot boundary and 1.8m along the south-eastern lot boundary. Deemed to comply provisions of Clause 5.1.3 C3.1 of the R-Codes require the standard setback to the side lot boundary of 2.2m and 3.0m, respectively.
5.3.7 - Site works (fill or excavation) and retaining walls
The development proposes retaining wall and an associated filling of the land up to a height of up to 650mm with a nil setback to the side lot boundary.
Deemed to comply provisions of Clause 5.3.7 of the R-Codes provides for retaining wall, fill and excavation behind the 500mm street setback line and within 1m of a lot boundary up to a maximum height of 0.5m above the natural ground level at the lot boundary.
The proposed variations may be considered by the City against the relevant design principles of the R-Codes.

How to Submit Your Comments
Please provide your written feedback to the City by 05:00pm on 10 July 2026 using the form below. You may also attach supporting documents such as plans, diagrams, or photographs.
Personal contact details such as names, email addresses and telephone numbers will not be provided to the applicant. Written submissions may be the subject of Freedom of Information requests.
In accordance with Part 8 of Local Planning Policy LP-11 – Public Consultation of Planning Proposals (Policy), 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 Policy.
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.
