Update

At its meeting on 25 July 2023, Council adopted a recommendation to prepare a notice of revocation for Appendices 3, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 18 of the Design Guidelines.

Background

The following Design Guidelines were adopted by Council to ensure new developments fit within the local context of each of the following areas:

Appendix 3 - Design Guidelines for Richmond on the Park: Adopted February 2000
Appendix 8 - Highgate Design Guidelines: Adopted October 1995
Appendix 12 - Elven on the Park Design Guidelines: Adopted September 2005
Appendix 14 - Design Guidelines for No. 95 Chelmsford Road: Adopted June 2005
Appendix 15 - Joel Terrace Design Guidelines: Adopted September 2005
Appendix 16 - Design Guidelines Perth: Adopted March 2007
Appendix 18 - Design Guidelines for William Street: Adopted December 2008

Now that each of the sites has been developed and there is suitable guidance remaining within the Local and State Planning framework, it is recommended the design guidelines be revoked.

Project Details

Each of the following areas has experienced development aligned with the guidelines.

Since the adoption of these guidelines new State and Local Planning frameworks and provisions have been developed. These new provisions sufficiently guide future development in these areas which means the additional planning framework and requirements of these policies are no longer needed.

The Design Guidelines were originally adopted and amended as follows:

Appendix 3: Design Guidelines for Richmond on the Park
Adopted 8 February 2000
Amended 24 April 2001

The site was previously the City of Vincent Depot. In September 1999 Vincent sought to purchase a portion of the City of Perth depot in Osborne Park for relocation. The design guidelines were prepared for the development of the land to ensure it fit with the context and addressed Smiths Lake Reserve appropriately.

Appendix 8: Highgate Design Guidelines
Adopted 9 October 1995

The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) granted conditional subdivision approval in 1995. Condition 9 of the preliminary approval required the preparation of design guidelines.

The design guidelines were prepared to address elements including the interface to existing dwellings in the locality and the streetscape, height and bulk of buildings, setbacks and car parking.

Appendix 12 Elven on the Park Design Guidelines
Adopted 13 September 2005

The City of Vincent completed a five lot subdivision of Elven Street. There was no condition to prepare design guidelines.

Guidelines were prepared for the development of the land to ensure it fit with the context and addressed Smiths Lake Reserve appropriately.

Appendix 14 Design Guidelines for No. 95 Chelmsford Road
Adopted 28 June 2005

In 2004 the WAPC provided subdivision approval including condition 11 to create design guidelines.

Guidelines were prepared to address issues of building orientation, site coverage, setbacks, the location of driveway crossovers, location of party walls, common fencing and parking.

Appendix 15 Joel Terrace Design Guidelines
Adopted 27 September 2005
Amended 28 August 2012

Four lots were created from the subdivision of Nos. 128, 128A, 130 and 130A Joel Terrace, Mount Lawley.

The design guidelines were prepared to control and guide future development of the site to ensure it considers its setting overlooking the Swan River, preserves the Camphor Laurel tree and integrates with and preserves the amenity of the surrounding area.

Appendix 16 Design Guidelines Perth
Adopted 13 March 2007
Amended 2 December 2008 & 16 June 2020

A significant development application was submitted in 2005 for the sites. The design guidelines were prepared to guide the assessment.

Appendix 18 Design Guidelines for William Street
Adopted 2 December 2008
Amended 16 June 2020


The design guidelines were prepared to rejuvenate the area along William Street (all lots between Bulwer and Newcastle Streets, including corner lots to the north of Bulwer Street), to reposition the area (between Brisbane and Newcastle Streets) as a Town Centre, and to strengthen its role as a vibrant cultural precinct.

The existing built form aligns with design guidelines, and new development will be guided by Vincent’s Built Form Policy and Residential Design Codes.
