DA26/0352 - Two Storey Single House - 14B Parklands Square Riverton WA 6148
Your comments are invited!
The City has received a development application for a Single House, which proposes variations to the deemed-to-comply requirements of the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes).
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 following matter(s) require City's consideration:
5.1.3 Lot boundary setback - Boundary walls
The proposed dwelling includes a boundary wall along the eastern lot boundary, which is proposed to be constructed on the lot boundary.
The proposed boundary wall consists of:
- Garage: 8.3m in length and 2.6m in height.
- Kitchen, laundry and scullery: 11m in length and 3.4m in height.
The total length of the boundary wall is 19.3m, whereas the Residential Design Codes permit a maximum overall boundary wall length of 12.8m.
The proposed variation therefore seeks approval for an additional 6.5m of boundary wall length. The maximum proposed wall height is 3.4m, which is within the permitted maximum height of 3.5m.
The overall length permitted is 12.8m with a height of 3.5m.

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 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.
