Restricted Building Permit - Dwelling Only - Excluding Landscaping

Has the house been finished yet. 15 years of renovation. People are living there. And not finished. No down pipes so when it rains all sort of issues.

Occupancy Permit application - Unauthorised Works - cafe fitout

This site was not originally approved as a commercial retail space. On the site there are 14 storage units, the security of these units is significantly compromised by the exponential increase in foot traffic. This increase in foot traffic has a significant impact on the parking with both staff and patrons parking illegally and regulatory blocking access to other owners and tenants on the site.

I concur with Jason's comment regarding street parking problems due to the relentless construction of units in a previously reasonably quiet and peaceful district. Along with this goes the problem that Davilak Avenue, rezoned to accommodate unit developments, is becoming a very busy road. So many units and so many cars and their visitors or co-habitants all funneling traffic through Davilak Avenue. This road and all the others surrounding are supposed to be 50 kmh zones, but this is ignored by 99% of drivers who speed at up to 70kmh. I did approach the City of Cockburn to at least have a yellow 50kmh zone sign placed in Davilak, but this was refused. Unfortunately the need to share accommodation in units has more than doubled the parking problem, as an example a small no-through road in the area has a three bedroom villa rented to four or five tenants each of which have a car. As there is no room at their villa every day three or more cars are parked in the street, causing more congestion when any visitors arrive.

Good morning, I have noticed a common trend since multiple units have been built on Davilak and Winfield Street, that being an increase in street parking.
In particular, the large unit complex on Winfield Street appears to only have allocated 1 parking bay per unit. Numerous cars are parked on the street, at the top of the hill, creating an unsafe driving area.
This parking issue is an ongoing concern, as there are several recently sold blocks on these streets destined for unit development.
I am hoping with any future unit development approvals this is being taken in to consideration.
Happy to provide photos of requested.

Hi there,

We are deeply concerned about the plans for this development at 72 Healy Rd. These plans have just been put up for display on site.

There are 16 double story homes crammed into this tiny space. It is not consistent with the landscape, the feel of the current neighbourhood, and there looks to be inadequate provision for services.

The homes are not in keeping with the character of the neighbourhood - and there has been no consideration for the impact on the current residents. Is this not something that is required for developments?

The houses on the WEST along the fence line is built over an easement (water access point) and overshadows the north-east of the property beside it. Both of these need to be looked into - 1. doesn't the easement at the very least needs to be accessible for services - so the home should at least not be built over this? And 2. Are there not rules about overshadowing neighbours (privacy and north light)?

Looking at the plans there is no room for visitor / resident parking - which will mean there will be cars parked on the verge on a dangerous bend in the road. Further - there appears to be inadequate pedestrian access to the development - a very narrow 'path' on the west of the entry is not wide enough for wheelchair users or prams and doesn't extend into the development properly. There will be cars coming and going and turning onto a spot already known as being dangerous for pedestrians, road users, and bikes - especially if there are children exiting the development to go to Dixon park. Will there be a crossing provided to allow people to safely exit and enter (especially if vehicles are parked on the verge blocking access)? Where will visitors park?

How will there be safe and suitable waste management? With 16 homes there will be a large amount of waste created - there is no space for bin collection / turning in the development?

The plans create an urban heat sink - there is no space for street trees or landscaping in the development, or between the homes - and it appears there are no 'deep tree root' areas as per the building codes. What is being done about this?

The current 'developers' are also dumping rubbish (concrete, metal scraps, fencing) in the small area of POS to the south-west corner. They have damaged trees in the area and one of them looks like it is struggling a lot. The plans for the adjacent houses also look like they will impact the trees further. What is being done to rectify, protect, and restore the native trees remaining? Will they be landscaping this area with native trees as per their website? What will the City do to help support this space as a refuge for the wildlife displaced by the development? These trees are precious canopy for the birds in the area and must be preserved and maintained.

Building Permit application (Certified) - Service station including retail building, dog wash, car wash, shade sail, pylon sign & fuel canopy

We oppose. The area has enough fuel service stations in the near vicinity with Barrington Street Vibe 200m away and five service stations with one kilometer. The Fuel Watch map clearly shows the service station saturation for the area. Another service station on Shallcross Street will adversely impact local traffic in a fairly quiet street. Also, local residents do not need to smell the associated airborne fuel pollution.

BP Swimming Pool Application- above ground pool including pool fencing.

Our dams are very low and our drinking water comes from desalination plants. Bore owners are now told that we can no longer water on a third day of the week because of depletion of groundwater. Does it make sense to keep approving swimming pools which lose water every day through evaporation??

34 East Churchill Avenue Beeliar WA 6164
We at PERTH FILIPINO CHRISTIAN CHURCH, would like to build a church building in Lot No. 126 with address 34 East Churchhill Avenue, Beeliar WA 6164. We would like to construct a Sanctuary for 306 people capacity with stage and audio/visual control area, Multi-Purpose Hall/Kitchen/Dining Area, three toilets (Male, Female, Disabled), and offices e.g. Pastor’s Office, Nursery Room, Youth/Children’s Room. At the moment, we hold our Worship Services in the morning but if we will be granted this building, we plan to also have an Evening Worship Service as well. We would also want to use the carpark for outdoor gatherings like Christmas and Family Day events which happens late afternoon until evening. The site is not connected to a reticulated sewer. However, as per the requirement, we submitted the relevant documents needed for this project. Nevertheless, we can only provide documents within our capacity.

I do not agree with this build as this will increase the traffic on Congdon Ave on which is already a busy road in a small estate. it is already used as a cut through from Beeliar Drive to Rockingham Road to avoid traffic lights.

Change of Use Residential - Display Home

This should not be a display home. The area is very limited and residents nearby will find it even harder to get parking. Put in a display home elsewhere where the flow of traffic can be catered for without impacting locals.

We do not require a fuel station as Caltex at the Armadale road as well as BP at cockburn are close enough for us to get petrol.

We are lacking of a local convenience store. An IGA, chemist, post office, proper cafe are what we require in the estate

Thank you.

I agree. We need local shops and other facilities within our community. Our estate is lacking in a supermarket, battleship, and as Jacinta Wills mentioned, potential exercise or wellness facilities. Please consult our community as to what we feel is necessary to support our way of life in Treeby.

Hi,

I’m not sure if I’m reading this right, but if BP is BP the fuel station we do not need it. It’s so easy to get to the Caltex, when people are grabbing fuel they are doing it on their travels. Fuel stations are unappealing and the space can be used for so much more that actually adds to our community life. IGA, chemist, post office, boutique/trendy cafes or even a studio for fitness like yoga or Pilates. I can’t believe the size of Cockburn and the lack of yoga/pilate studios in the area. I feel as if IGA, Chemist and Post office would be classified as essential, especially for the older generation that may find it hard to get to Cockburn or Atwell and a nice trendy cafe and fitness studio for our younger generation that love to document their life on social media.
Keep the appeal of Treeby but keeping it boutique, don’t waste the space with a BP, I don’t know how else to say that they are just scabby looking. I hope that whatever is built has a lot of street appeal so people continue to say “Treeby is a really nice area”.

Demolition permit application - demolition of house & removal of vegetation

Bakers sq is one of the greenest pockets left in Hamilton Hill. Only a few houses away the Forever Project demonstrates development without removing trees.

As a resident living close by, I value the green space in this area. I am concerned of climate change, biodiversity loss, health, and urban heat impacts of tree removal and I would ask for re-imagination of development while retaining tree cover on the block.

We would like to book out the car bays in front of Regis for a week - commencing 4/10/2021. We are just removing furniture.

We use CRU every morning on our way to work to get our 2 coffees. If there are no places to stop and run in for our quick pick up, we will just keep driving. If the carparks aren’t available for a week that would be $50-60 we won’t spend at CRU. Times that amount by the many business people we see running in and out of CRU each workday like we do to grab their coffee. Steve and Melissa Parry.
