1 .0 Introduction

This Local Planning Policy is to be read in conjuction with the Explanatory Guidelines which are provided

to support the Local Government's Local Planning Policies.

This Local Planning Policy seeks to provide a planning framework for the appropriate development of

signage on private and public land, to ensure essential standards of public safety are maintained, and to

limit the excessive and unnecessary proliferation of signage.

It has also been developed to complement the Local Government's Local Law which provides an annual

permit process for signage on public land.

This Local Planning Policy identifies those signs that are considered acceptable as described in the

Policy Measures and the acceptable development criteria where planning approval is requi red for that

signage under the Scheme. It also provides performance criteria, upon which all other applications for

signage are assessed that do not meet the acceptable development criteria.

2.0 Objectives

ln accordance with the aims of the Scheme and the objectives of the zone, development of signage in

the Local Planning Policy Area should achieve the following:

(a) Provide for a reasonable level of marketing to support commercial activity without

compromising amenity.

(b) Complement the Local Law and permit process for signage.

(c) Ensure that the siting , design and general appearance of advertising and directional signage

does not detract from the landscape values, amenity and character of the locality.

(d) To ensure signs make a positive contribution to the streetscape and to streetscape

interaction.

(e) To achieve rationalisation of signage across a fa<;ade and within a particular location.

(d) Ensure signs are constructed and maintained to essential standards of public safety.

or other regulatory instrument may be exercised . It also serves to help proponents, landowners and the


1 .0 Introduction This Local Planning Policy is to be read in conjuction with the Explanatory Guidelines which support and


The Shire of Augusta Margaret River contians a significant collection of heritage assets as identified

within the Heritage Inventory and Heritage List. This Policy guides the protection and enhancement of

heritage places under the Scheme. In particular, the Policy sets out measurements to ensure any

development or redevelopment has due regard to the heritage significance of the place.

2.0 Objectives

In accordance with the aims of the Scheme the following objectives of this policy are:

(a) To conserve and protect places that have been identified within the Heritage Inventory and

Heritage List;

(b) To ensure that development does not adversely affect the significance of those places identified

within the Heritage Inventory and Heritage List;

(c) To provide clarity to landowners and the community with regards to the planning process; and

(d) To ensure that heritage signifcance is given due weight in the local planning decision making

process.

3.0 Scope

This Local Planning Policy detials provisions for all places entered in the Heritage Inventory and

Heritage List pursuant to the Scheme. This policy does not address places of Aboriginal Heritage

Significance which are subject to a separate process under the Aboriginal Heritage Act.

4.0 Interpretations

'Archival Record' means a document containing drawings, photographs and written information prepared in order to record the state of a place at a given time. The Heritage Council of Western Australia (HCWA) has prepared standards for archival recording.

'Conservation Plan' means a document that details how to identify and look after the significant cultural values of a place. Its preparation involves a systematic way of considering, recording and monitoring actions and decisions relating to all aspects of managing a place. The Heritage Council of WA (HCWA) provides guidelines for the preparation of conservation plans to ensure that all important matters are considered.

'Heritage Assessment' means a systematic assessment that describes a place and its setting and states its significant heritage values in terms of the criteria adopted by the Heritage Council of WA (HCWA). These criteria are the aesthetic, historic, social and scientific values of the place.

'Heritage List' are palces considered of exceptional, considerable and moderate significance and those sites of potential signifcant archaelogical remains. The Heritage List is included within the Scheme.

'Heritage Place' means a building, structure, site, area of land or other physical element valued for its cultural (or historic) heritage significance, together with associated contents and surrounds.

'Heritage Inventory' is a database that records documentry and physical evidence, providing a statement of significance and considers the level of significance for each place that has been identified as being of cultural heritage significance for the community.

5.0 Policy

In considering any planning applications in relation to a place entered into the Heritage Inventory and

Heritage List, regard will be given to the following:

(a) the devleopment control principles set out in sections 6.5 and 6.6 of State Planning Policy 3. 5

Historic Heritage Conservaiton;

(b) the level of significane and the information contained in the place record of the Shires Heritage

Inventory (adopted September 2012);

(c) the structural conditon of a place, and whether a place is resonably capable of conservation.

6.0 Applications for Planning Approval

6.1.1 Clause 8.2 of the Scheme requires that planning approval is required when:

(i) a place has been entered in the State Register of Heritage Places under the Heritage of

Western Australia Act 1990;

(ii) subject of an order under Part 6 of the Heritage of Western Australia act 1990; or

(iii) included in the Shires Heritage List under clause 7.1.

Planning approval is also requried under Part 6 of the Scheme for development with in the Flinders Bay

Heritage Conservation Area (SCA 4).

6 .1 .2 Accomanying Material

The Shire may require the provision of one or more of the following to assist with the determination of a

planning application. This is additional to the requirements of clause 9.2 of LPS1.

6.1.3 Heritage Impact Statement

If a proposal is considered to have a substantial impact on the fabric of a place in the Heritage List, the

Shire may request the submission of a heritage impact statement addressing three main questions: ·

(i) How will the proposed works affect the significance of the place?

(ii) What alterantives have been considered to ameliorate any adverse impacts?

(iii) Will the proposal result in any heritage conservation benefits that might offset any adverse impacts?

If a proposal affects a Registered place either identified in the State Heritage Register, or a place

identified as having Exceptional significance in the Shire Heritage List, the Shire may require the

preperation of a conservation plan to be prepared.

6.1.4 Structural Condition Assessment

If structural failure is cited as justification for the demolition of a place on the Heritage List, evidence shall

be provided from a registered structural engineer (preferably one with experience in dealing with

heritage places) to confirm that the structural integrity of the building has failed, to a point where it

cannot be rectified without removal of a majority of its significant fabric and/or incurring prohibitive costs.

6.1.5 Archival Recording

If a proposal is for the demolition or substantial modification of a place entered in the Heritage List or

Heritage Inventory, the Shire may require the preparation of ari archival record, prior to the

commencement of development. The archival record is required to be prepared in accordance with the

Heritage Council of Western Australia (HCWA) standard.

7.0 Levels of Significance

The level of heritage significance of a place (as determined in the Heritage Inventory) is one of the

fundemental considerations in the assessment of an application for planning approval. One of the

following levels of significance is applied to each place identified in the Heritage Inventory and Heritage

List.

1 0.0 Incentives

AD1 .1.2 Uses are preferred not to alter the Significance of the place if feasible.

The Shire of Augusta Margaret River is committed to assisting owners to conserve heritage places wherever possible. The Shire has developed a program of incentives that it can offer to owners in return for the owner's commitment to conservation of the heritage place.

Incentives can be offered to owners of places within the Heritage List.

Incentives take the form of relaxation or modification of one or more of the planning requirements for that place that would normally apply under the Scheme or the Residential Design Codes. This includes but is not limited to:

• Parking requirements ·Plot ratio • Residential density • Use categories • The requirement for only one dwelling on a rural lot. (This will be relaxed where an owner wishes to construct a new dwelling and the existing dwelling is a listed heritage place.)

In return for incentives the Shire may require the owner of a heritage place to enter into a Heritage Agreement under the Scheme with the Shire.



Adopted by Council: Draft Version 5.0

Production Date: July 2013



1 .0 Introduction

This Local Planning Policy is to be read in conjuction with the Explanatory Guidelines which support and


This policy will guide the Shire in its assessment and determination of applications for changes in land use, proposed development and issuing of building permits, in a manner that provides the community with improved protection from the impact of bushfires.

The Shire has been designated as Bushfire Prone under Local Planning Scheme 1 for the purpose of enforcement of construction standard AS-3959 for new habitable buildings. This construction standard is designed to reduce the risk of ignition of buildings from a bushfire with regard to potential ignition sources and intensity of bushfire attack. The policy provisions establish the Shire's approach to the acceptable construction options available under AS-3959 in achieving the aims of the Scheme. The policy seeks to provide outcomes that balance the protection of environmental values and landscape qualities with the cost of development, while enhancing community safety. In all cases the achievement of a satisfactory bushfire protection outcome will be given priority.

The Policy adopts the WAPC/DFES Planning for Bushfire Protection (PFBP) Guidelines subject to variations and additions and establishes additional requirements for preparation of Fi re Management Plans. These variations and additions are appropriate to local needs. The policy also recognises that AS-3959 is a construction standard only and its implementation benefits from early consideration and integration with the planning process. This Local Planning Policy was adopted pursuant to clause 2.2 of the Scheme.

2.0 Objectives

In accordance with the aims of the Scheme achievement of the following objectives are sought within the

Local Planning Policy Area:

(a) Enhance community safety and sustainability through reducing the potential for impact on life and

property from a bushfire by ensuring that new development is located, designed, constructed and

managed to address the bushfire hazard;

(b) Reducing the impact on the community and the resources required for control and suppression of

any bushfire event by improving preparedness, community awareness and maximising the

effectiveness of fuel hazard reduction;

(c) Provide a balance between bushfire protection, economic, biodiversity and landscape outcomes

while always ensuring that a satisfactory bushfire protection outcome is achieved;

(d) Provide guidance for the improved integration and continuity between the planning and building

processes, and the Annual Fuel Hazard Reduction and Fire Break notice requirements for

effective decision making and better bushfire protection outcomes;

(e) Set out bushfire related process and information requirements for appl ications for amendments to

the Scheme and the preparation and assessment of Structure Plans to improve the quality and

consistency of applications and assessment;

(f) Provide guidance on the use of the acceptable construction requirements available under AS-

3959 and considerations to apply where clearing outside the .subject lot to achieve a specific SAL

construction standard is proposed.

3.0 Scope

The policy is required to be given due regard in the assessment and determination of all appl ications for: • planning scheme amendments; • structure plans (including development guide plans and all other similar plans); • subdivision and planning consent, including variation or relocation of building envelopes.

The policy provides further guidance on the requirements of the Scheme in respect to bushfire management issues including as set out at Clause 4.21 , 'Development in the Rural Residentia l Zone' and Clause 5.19 'Bushfire hazard and Fire Management Plans'.

The Scheme provides the authority for the designation of bushfire prone areas fo r the purpose of implementation of AS-3959 under the Building Code of Australia . The whole of the Shire has been designated as Bushfire Prone and AS-3959 is applicable to the construction of all buildings for habitable purposes throughout the Shire including;

• a Class 1 residential dwelling, and any associated class 10 building within 6.0m of a class 1 dwelling;

• Class 1 b chalets, Class 2 and Class 3 buildings designed for the purpose of short-term

accommodation as defined in the BCA;

• any associated class 10 buildings within 6m of a Class 1 b, 2 or 3 building; and

• any class 4 residential dwelling.

Where required the provisions of this policy should be broadly construed to avoid any inconsistency with the Scheme. If an inconsistency remains the Scheme prevails to the extent of that inconsistency.

5.0 Policy Measures

5.1 General

5.1.1 Bushfire hazards are to be considered in the assessment and determination of all proposals and applications.

5.1.2 The PBFP Guidelines will be used in the assessment of applications and associated fire management plans for; scheme amendments, structure plans, subdivision referrals (including clearance of conditions), planning approval (including building envelope variations and relocations), Residential Design Code variations and building permit applications.

5.1.3 All building for habitable purposes, including Class, 1, 2, 3 and 4 buildings, shall be subject to the applicable construction requirements as set out in AS3959, 2009. This requirement will operate at the building permit application stage.

5.1 .4 The assessment of applications will include consideration of the intended use of the land, how this may contribute to the bushfire hazard and the impact on vegetation and landscape values in achieving satisfactory bushfire protection outcomes.

5.2 Bushfire Hazard Assessments and Bushfire Management Plans

5.2.1 Scheme amendment and structure plan appl ications proposing the intensification of land use shall be subject to and accompanied by a bushfire hazard assessment and, where required as an outcome of that assessment, a fi re management plan. Exemptions to this requirement apply:

a) where on submission from the applicant the site of the proposal is confirmed by the Shire as having a low bushfire hazard level and that a hazard assessment is not warranted ; and/or

b) where a structure plan area has previously been the subject of a scheme amendment or prior plan and the associated hazard assessment is current and confirmed by the Shire in writing as satisfactory for this purpose.

5.2.2 All applications for planning consent that include habitable buildings or the intensification of land use and subdivision referral shall include a Fire Management Plan. Exemptions to this requirement apply:

a) where on submission from the applicant the site of the proposal is confirmed by the Shire as having a low bushfire hazard level and that an assessment is not warranted; or

b) where a fire management plan has previously been submitted that includes the site and the application is in accord with that plan; or

c) where the application is for the relocation of a building envelope only. For such applications an assessment of the impact of that change on the fire hazard only is required ;

d) where the application is for a single dwelling and the Shire is satisfied that the level of risk and a satisfactory bushfire protection outcome can be achieved as demonstrated by a BAL assessment undertaken by an appropriately qualified bushfire consultant.

Shire Of Augusta-Margaret R1ver- LPP I Outbuildings 4

5.2.3 All Bushfire Hazard Assessments and/or Fire Management Plans required pursuant to this policy are to be prepared consistent with and meet the requirements of the PFBP Guidelines and in addition shall:

(a) establish the intended BAL objectives for development on the site I lots and the associated BPZ, HSZ and other fuel modification requirements to be implemented to achieve these and provide for a satisfactory bushfire protection outcome consistent with this policy;

(b) where native vegetation is required to be cleared to meet the requirements for a satisfactory bushfire protection outcome, identify the extent of that clearing, the loss of biodiversity, habitat and landscape value of that clearing and include an analysis of the comparative impact of the proposed location and design of development relative to alternatives;

(c) use as a base for all plans and maps used in the assessmenUplan the most recent aerial photography and cadastre. All plans and maps shall be provided in digital form to the Shire to be included on the Shire lntraMaps system; and

(d) be prepared on the basis of consultation with DFES noting that these plans will be referred to DFES for comment during the assessment process.

5.2.4 Where a Fire Management Plan is prepared for applications that will directly result in subdivision or provide for development that could be subject to strata subdivision it shall:

(a) Specifically address each of the performance criteria set out in Appendix 2 of the PFBP Guidelines and this policy;

(b) Be generally consistent in structure with the PFBP Guidelines Appendix 3;

(c) Provide the necessary separation from classified vegetation for all areas developed for habitable buildings so that development can be constructed to a BAL of 29 or less;

(d) Provide that where fuel reduction works are required to reduce the Bushfire Hazard and/or allow development to proceed and achieve a satisfactory bushfire protection outcome in accord with this policy these works are undertaken prior to clearance of subdivision;

(e) Require maintenance of hazard separation zones and general hazard reduction works following subdivision and prior to development of individual lots and clearly establish responsibilities for these works; and

(f) Demonstrate the adequacy of the management measures proposed in providing for all development to achieve a satisfactory bushfire protection outcome notwithstanding staged, partial or delayed subdivision and/or development.

5.2.5 Where a development application is required to be accompanied by a fire management plan pursuant to this policy, that plan shall consider fire risk implications associated with re-vegetation I re-growth as would reasonably be expected to occur as part of or during the life of the development and where management of fuel loads cannot be assured.

(Note: This clause is relevant to public land or private land not under the control of the applicant and within 100m of the development site where fuel loads may increase over time and result in increased risk to the development.)

~. Shire Of Augusta-Margaret R1ver - LPP I Outbuildmgs 5

5.2.6 Fire Management Plans shall detail methods of fuel load reduction having regard for the Shire "Fire and Biodiversity Guidelines". A priority shall be placed on low impact measures of fuel reduction including the removal of woody and other weeds in meeting fuel load targets.

5.2. 7 Fire Management Plans shall also have regard for biodiversity and landscape impacts of proposed fuel reduction works. Works on ridgelines, within and adjoining wetlands, threatened ecological communities, areas with Declared Rare Flor/Fauna or other high amenity or high landscape character should be avoided. ·

5.3 Building Permit Applications

5.3.1 All applications for a building permit for a habitable building shall be accompanied by a · Bushfire Attack Level assessment as specified in AS 3959-2009.'

5.3.2 Where a building is determined to be subject to a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) of Low only, this assessment can be in the form of BS-19(A) AS3959-2009 Applicant Self-Assessment and Certification Sheet.

5.3.3 Where a building on assessment using BS-19(A) is determined to have a BAL above Low, or where otherwise required by a Shire Officer, the application shall be accompanied by a detailed BAL assessment prepared by a bushfire consultant which includes the associated determination of the relevant Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) construction standard.

5.3.4 Notwithstanding provision 3.1, where a BAL assessment, including where forming part of a fire management plan, has been submitted as part of a preceding application and is less than 2 years old and confirmed by the Shire as consistent with the requirements of this policy, a new BAL assessment will not be required unless the building is proposed in a different location.

5.3.5 Detailed BAL Assessments required for building permit applications shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of AS3959 - 2009, by experienced and/or qualified bush fire consultants and be consistent with the BAL and vegetation separation requirements of this policy.

5.3.6 Fire risk implications associated with re-vegetation I re-growth as would reasonably be expected to occur as part of or during the life of the development and where management of fuel loads cannot be assured shall also be taken into account in all BAL assessments. BAL assessments will identify the level of risk from any vegetation in existence at the time, unless that vegetation is to be modified through implementation of the specific proposal under consideration.

5.3.7 All applications for a building permit shall reflect the requirements of any Fire Management Plan applicable to the subject property and the requirements of any planning approval issued for the development. In addition compliance with the requirements of Element 2 A2.5 of the PFBP Guidelines shall also be demonstrated.

Shire Of Augusta-Margaret Rtver - LPP I Outbuildtngs 6

5.4 Protection of Biodiversity and Landscape Value

5.4.1 Fire Management Plans shall demonstrate how impacts on biodiversity and landscape values have been minimised in the achievement of a satisfactory bushfire protection outcome. In addition to detailed siting of development this may include the use of a BAL construction level that will limit building protection and hazard separation zones and therefore landscape and biodiversity impacts.

5.4.2 In the siting of development it shall not be assumed that fuel reduction works I vegetation modification can or will be undertaken outside the property boundary on private and/or public lands.

5.4.3 In all cases the first option shall be for a building to be located, designed and constructed whereby all separation distances and fuel reduction areas are contained within the subject lot. An exception to this applies where land that would be within building protection and hazard separation areas and is outside the subject lot:

a) does not require management to minimise the spread and intensity of bushfire as it is already cleared and/or developed; and/or

b) there are no suitable alternative locations and vegetation will be subject to ongoing management to minimise the spread and intensity of bushfi re;

and there is reasonable assurance that the land will remain or continue to be managed in the same condition.

5.4.4 Where, due to lot size or other physical constraints, fuel reduction or clearing works are required to be undertaken outside the boundary of the subject lot the following considerations and conditions shall apply:

a) Private Land;

• Works will require the consent of the owner(s) on whose land the clearing is to be undertaken,

• Where there is no approved FMP for the land, or the clearing required is not reflected in an approved FMP, a planning consent may be required under the Scheme, and

• Arrangements for ongoing management of fuel levels on the land consistent with the bushfire attack level assessment shall be documented in any approval requirements.

b) Reserve I Public Land,

• Works will require the consent of the management body and not conflict with the purpose for which the land is reserved,

• Arrangements for ongoing management of fuel levels on the land consistent with the FMP I Bushfire attack level assessment shall be documented and approved by the management body for the land, and

• A notification will be required to be placed on the title of the subject land advising of the ongoing fuel management requirements and the relationship to the standard of construction of the building on the land.

c) Shire Land

tjS.

Shire Of Augusta-Margaret R1ver- LPP I Outbuildings 7

(a) In addition to b) above where that land is owned, managed, vested or in the care and control of the Shire the works proposed shall be consistent with an adopted Hazard Reduction Strategy or Fuel Reduction Strategy (Bushfire risk register and treatment schedule) for that land. In the absence of such a strategy the Shire at its discretion may approve the work where it is of the opinion that it will contribute to broader community safety and where ongoing maintenance is secured for the life of the development. All work required on Shire land shall be undertaken by the Shire or a Shire approved contractor and where subject to individual agreement (in the absence of an endorsed strategy), may require the benefiting landowner to fund these works.

(Note: Neither the introduction of AS-3959 nor this policy obliges the Shire to approve fuel management works on its land for the purpose of the establishment of separation from classified vegetation. Determination of a request will require an assessment of the relative risk posed by the vegetation and the suitability of clearing methods and the ability to continue to demarcate public and private land. Any decision should a/so be guided by the achievement of broader community safety or emergency response capability improvements as it will impose an ongoing obligation on the Shire. Where such works are approved this will generally require that the works become part of the Shire's reserve maintenance and lor inspection schedules and as such consideration should a/so include funding sources and direction of available resources to areas of highest priority).

5.4.5 All applications shall be designed to avoid the potential for conflict between achieving satisfactory bushfire protection outcomes and biodiversity and landscape value objectives of the planning framework. Where such impacts cannot be avoided due to existing approvals then these impacts shall be minimised through. detailed location of development and compliance with part 6. of this policy.

5.4.6 Applications for changes to building envelopes I building exclusion areas will not be supported on the basis of access to views or reduced construction costs or for any other reason where that would increase the impact on biodiversity or landscape values and/or reduce the bushfire protection outcome that can be achieved. Consistent with this, relocation of building envelopes where already cleared but undeveloped into areas that require clearing will not be approved.

5.4. 7 The location of building envelopes and development exclusion areas or similar for such development shall, where applicable, be located to provide for the HSZ and BPZ associated with a building to be contained within an existing cleared or reduced fuel load area.

(Note: In Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA 's), as established under the Environmental Protection Act, clearing exemptions as are generally applicable to fire prevention works do not apply. Approval will be required for clearing works associated with bushfire prevention in these areas. To view ESAs visit the 'Native Vegetation Map Viewer' accessible at: www.dec.wa.gov.aulnvc within the 'data ' tab. Further guidance on assessment processes in ESA's is available from the DEC's Native Vegetation Conservation Branch on 9219 8744. Outside ESA ·s a general exemption exists for fuel reduction works where approved as part of a fire management plan or where consistent with a planning consent or the Annual Fuel Reduction and Firebreak Notice. In other cases a separate planning consent may be required if clearing is proposed.)

5. 5 Separation Requirements, Risk and Construction Standards

Non- urban zones- The development of habitable buildings in all non-urban zones or locations shall comply with the following requirements:

5.5.1 A Building Protection Zone of a minimum of 20m contained within the property boundary is applicable (consistent with Annual Fuel Hazard Reduction and Firebreak Notice). This minimum BPZ is applicable irrespective of a proposal to build to a BAL construction standard that could under AS3959-2009 result in a separation of the buildings from classified vegetation of less than 20m.

5.5.2 Development subject to the BAL-40 and BAL-FZ classifications under AS-3959 wi ll on ly be permitted where no reasonable alternative is available to develop a particular site in an area of lesser risk.

5.5.3 Where a BPZ of 20m will not result in a satisfactory bush fire protection outcome with a construction standard of BAL 12.5, BAL 19 or BAL 29 the following alternatives shall be used in order of listed preference to achieve a satisfactory bushfire protection outcome:

(a) Option 1: Alternate siting of the building.

(b) Option 2: An increase in the Building Protection Zone or a combination of this and Option 1.

(c) Option 3: An increase in the construction standard to BAL 40 and modification of the building location and provision of the necessary BPZ as required to achieve a satisfactory bushfire protection outcome.

5.5.4 Where a proposed development cannot achieve a satisfactory bush fire protection outcome through use of the above options and the construction standard is determined at BAL FZ (Flame Zone) and the application is for planning consent it will be referred to DFES for comment. Where advice is received from DFES that the location of the development is not supported as the site is not considered suitable for habitable development the application will generally be refused. Where a planning consent is issued this will be subject to a condition requiring a minimum construction standard of BAL FZ (Flame Zone).

5.5.5 An application for a building permit for a habitable building shall as a minimum meet the BAL construction standard specified in the detailed Bushfire Attack Level assessment.

Urban zones - The development of habitable buildings in all urban zones or locations shall comply with the following requirements:

5.5.6 An application for a building permit for a habitable building shall as a minimum meet the BAL construction standard specified in the detailed Bushfire Attack Level assessment.

5.5. 7 Where the detailed Bushfire Attack Level assessment determines a construction standard at BAL FZ (Flame Zone) and the application is for planning consent it will be referred to DFES for comment. Where advice is received from DFES that the location of the development is not supported as the site is not considered suitable for habitable development the application wi ll generally be refused. Where a planning consent is issued

'51. Shire Of Augusta-Margaret River- LPP I OutbUIIdmgs 9

this will be subject to a condition requiring a minimum construction standard of BAL FZ (Flame Zone).

5.5.8 Notwithstanding Clause 6.3. of this policy a building permit application for a habitable building that is within the Residential zone is not required to be accompanied by a detailed Bushfire Attack Level assessment where the building is located greater than 31m from classified vegetation, without direct frontage to that vegetation, and the construction standard will be a minimum of BAL 12.5. In all other cases at least a preliminary Bushfire Attack Level assessment will be required.

(Note: A building is not considered to have direct frontage to the source of bush fire attack where that building is separated from the source of bushfire attack by another building or a lot on which will be constructed a building and on the common boundary of which a non-combustible fence is erected or will be erected as part of the proposed building permit works.)

All Zones

5.5.9 Where an application is for a building permit and a satisfactory bushfire protection outcome cannot be achieved consistent with the provisions of this policy then a building permit would generally need to be granted with a minimum construction standard of BAL FZ.

5.5.1 0 A constructed driveway is to be provided to all habitable build ings and associated water tank or dam that meets the requirements of Acceptable Solution A2.5 of the PFBP Guidelines under the following conditions:

(a) a reticulated water service is not available, and

(b) the proposed building has been assessed as above BAL low, and

(c) the building is proposed to be located more than 50m from a public road.

5.5.11 Water tanks on all lots without a reticulated water service shall also be fitted with required couplings located to be accessible to fire appliances to the specification of DFES and the Shire.

5.6 Local Variations - Planning for Bushfire Protection Guidel ines

5.6.1 Acceptable solution A2.6 (Emergency access ways) and Acceptable solution A2. 7 (Fire service access routes) of the PFBP Guidelines are varied by the addition of the following acceptable solution requirements:

(a) A public road or fire service access route shall be provided around the perimeter or portion thereof of all subdivisions in areas zoned Rural Residential, Leeuwin Naturaliste Ridge Landscape Amenity, Leeuwin Naturaliste Ridge Conservation, Cluster Farm or another zone that provides for development of a Rural Residential form or similar to maximise bushfire protection and provide enhanced pedestrian connectivity with existing and planned; roads, fire service access routes, strategic firebreaks, pedestrian access ways and similar. Where environment and/or landscape protections requirements require an alternative solution, this solution will maximise connectivity and access through a similar internal access route system.

Shire Of Augusta-Margaret River - LPP I Outbuildings I 0

(b) All fire service access routes and emergency access ways shall be provided as a reserve for 'bushfire protection and pedestrian access', with a minimum reserve width of 8 m, and constructed and vested with the Shire at the time of subdivision.

(c) Emergency access ways shall generally be provided to the same standard as fire service access routes.

(Note: While provided for in the PFBP Guidelines fire service access routes and emergency access ways accommodated in easements across private property have been demonstrated to be ineffective in many instances and will not be supported as an alternative to 7.1. 1- 7.1.2 above.)

5.6.2 Acceptable solution A3.2 and A3.3 (non-reticulated areas) of the PFBP Guidelines are varied by the addition of the following acceptable solution requirements:

(a) All water tanks and associated infrastructure are to be either immediately accessib le from a public road or a fire service access route.

(b) All water tanks shall incorporate an externally visibly heat resistant float gauge.

(c) Provision of water pumps, lockable housing and associated standpipes or hydrants where required shall be provided to the specification of the Shire.

(d) All standing areas associated with standpipes adjoining a sealed public road surface shall be sealed and tapered to that road surface.

5.6.3 Appendix 3, Model Fire Management Plan, 6.1 Hazard Management of the PFBP Guidelines is clarified by the requirement that hazard management works proposed as part of an approved fire management plan are to be undertaken as part of subdivision construction works so that target fuel loads and extent and distribution of classified vegetation is achieved prior to subdivision clearance. Where a subdivision involves staged development this may involve vegetation management outside the boundary of the current stage of subdivision so that development can proceed on individual lots immediately on issue of titles in accord with intended BAL construction standards as set out in the Fire Management Plan and the provisions of this policy.

5. 7 Fire Management Plan Implementation

5.7.1 Fire management plans approved by the Shire in accordance with these provisions shall be registered as S70A notifications on the title of affected properties. This shall be reflected as a structure plan provision to be complied with as a conditions of subdivision, imposed as a condition of subdivision or as a condition of planning consent.

5.7.2 Nothing in this policy exempts the owner of a property from compliance with the Annual Fuel Hazard Reduction and Firebreak notice. Where an approved Fire Management Plan establishes a lesser requirement for firebreaks or fuel hazard reduction than the Bushfire Notice this shall be processed as a variation to the relevant notice.

Dear Sir/Madam,

RE: POTENTIAL SITE FOR A CROWN CASTLE FIXED WIRELESS BROADBAND FACILITY at 94 Roxburgh Road, Margaret River, WA, 6285 (Lot 996 on Plan 231028. Reserve 18838]

We write to you in relation to the above matter for which Crown Castle Australia are taking over the building and leasing of all the sites in Busselton, Dunsborough, Yallingup and Margaret River on behalf of the National Broadband Network. The National Broadband Network will still be a user of the facility however Crown Castle Australia will be the Lessee.

Daly International has been appointed to act on behalf of Crown Castle Australia to establish the infrastructure required for the wireless component of the National Broadband Network (NBN).

The NBN is a high speed broadband network that is intended to utilize a combination of optical fibre, fixed wireless and satellite technology to offer advanced broadband services to premises across Australia. As part of the progressive roll out, these improvements to broadband services will ultimately deliver benefits to various areas such as business, education, entertainment and health.

The above property has been identified as a possible location for a proposed radio network base station facility which if established, will enable residents, businesses and the community within this area, access to high speed fixed wireless broadband with speeds of up to 12 megabits per second.

In order for NBN Co to build a facility on this property, a lot will have to be excised from the reserve and the use being for communications. Crown · Castle will then lease this area directly from the Department of Regional Development and Lands. As the Shire of Augusta Margaret River currently have the Management Order of this Reserve, the Shire wi ll need to agree to give up the Management Order for that portion of the Reserve used by NBN Co. The compound size is 12m x 8m however the Department of Regional Development and Lands may want to excise a slightly larger area. There will be an access easement through the reserve to the facility. Enclosed are drawings of the proposal.

I understand the above matter will need to go before a Council meeting for a decision. If you require any further information for the meeting please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely

Address: Wallcliffe Road, Margaret River WA6285

251h March 2013

Dear Gary,

Following your visit to our School on the 7'h March and discussions on ou r tenure of various parts of Reserves 19887, 19937 & 20534 comprising Lot 5585 we would like to formally request that Council consider a transfer of its vesting of the land including all buildings to an appropriate title held by the Margaret River Independent School over Lot 5585.

The School has occupied the majority of the land for the past 30 years and believe it is time to formally recognise it as a school site held under title by the Margaret River Independent School. Thus I would like to make the following points in support of our request:

• It will enable the School to access grants for the development of the Oval in particu lar which at the moment requires significant works to bring it up to a suitable standard for safe use.

• It will also enable the School to better plan for its growth and enhancement of its infrastructure.

• The management of the Hall currently run by a hall committee consisting of people associated with the School will be absorbed into the responsibility of our Governing Body thereby taking away the onus on the Shire to fund maintenance and other costs.

• A change to what would be viewed as a secure tenure will assist the ~chao! in its capital investments in the site through better access to funding opportunities.

I would like to assure Council that such a change will not limit community access to the Hall and Oval by prior arrangement, however such use can only be permitted outside of School hours, we are also already committed to allowing community access to our Performing Arts Centre under the Federal Government Schools Stimulus Package. Thus we believe that the rationalisation of the current Lease and License over parts of the Reserve into the entire reserve held under title by the School and zoned 'School Site' will be a positive for the School, Shire and the local community for the futu re.

Yours faithfully

* N1ck Dornan Chairperson - Margaret River Independent School
