    Attn: Planning Services

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    On behalf of our client, Active Solutions Physiotherapy Pty Ltd, Urbis is pleased to submit this application for development approval for the purpose of the use of the existing building for a physiotherapy practise.

    In order to assist the Town of Cambridge in its consideration of this application, please find enclosed the following information:

    • Site plans, illustrating the location of the subject tenancies with the parent lot.

    • Application for Development Approval Form.

    • Payment of $295.00 being the fee for a planning application involving a change of use.

    • Relevant Certificate of Title and Strata Plan.

    BACKGROUND The subject site is located at 437 Cambridge Street, Floreat. The site is located within the Birkdale Street Local Centre, which is focused on the intersection of Birkdale Street and Cambridge Street within the Town of Cambridge (Figure 1).

    PROPOSED USE This application is limited to a change of use on the subject site to ‘Consulting Rooms Group’. The proposed use of the site is for the purpose of a physiotherapist practice, and will be limited to that no more than three (3) practitioners operating on the site at any given time.

    The business is an existing local business operation within the Town of Cambridge, however, is seeking to relocate in order to be able to better serve the local population and provide a higher level of convenience and amenity to the existing range of clients that frequent the practise.

    The physiotherapy practice has 45 minute and 30 minute consultations/individual appointments. The practice services musculoskeletal injuries, women’s health issues and exercise rehabilitation so that patients can reduce their pain and engage in meaningful activities. The Physiotherapy Practice treats families with common sporting, spinal and muscle injuries with a close working relationship with local GP’s and Orthopaedic Surgeons.

    PLANNING COMPLIANCE The proposal has been assessed against the relevant planning framework, including the Town of Cambridge Local Planning Scheme No.1 and relevant local planning policies.

    The proposal is generally aligned with the planning framework, as detailed below.

    Town of Cambridge Local Planning Scheme No. 1

    The Town of Cambridge Local Planning Scheme No. 1 (LPS 1) identifies the subject site within the ‘Local Centre’ zone (refer to Figure 4).

    This application is limited to a change of use to ‘Consulting Rooms Group’, which is defined as follows:

    means premises used by more than two practitioners for the investigation and/or treatment of physical or mental injuries or ailments (not including a hospital or day surgery facility) in the practise of a profession of a person who is a legally qualified medical practitioner, dentist, physiotherapist, chiropractor, podiatrist or similar practitioner, and may include ancillary services such as pharmacists, pathologists and radiologists, but does not include a masseur and does not include premises practising therapeutic massage or similar services.

    ‘Consulting Rooms Group’ is defined as an ‘A’ use within the ‘Local Centre’ zone under the LSP1.

    Subject Site

  • Development Application - Consulting Rooms (Group) - 13November2018 6

    Relevant Local Planning Policies

    Local Planning Policy 6.3: Precinct P3: Floreat provides the following statement of intent for land within the Local Centre Zone (Birkdale Street Shops):

    • The existing range of local shopping and community facilities will be consolidated within this area to serve the day to day needs of the local residents.

    • Any new development should be of a height and scale similar to the majority of existing buildings and have no setback from the street. Continuous shopfronts and weather protection over the footpath for pedestrians should be provided.

    • Careful control will be exercised over the nature of any buildings, in particular their design and site layout to ensure minimal impact on any adjacent residential development. Additionally, adequate car parking must be provided to ensure that vehicles do not encroach into residential streets.

    As the proposal is limited to the use of the existing building (i.e. no external works are proposed), the proposed development is consistent with the general intent of the local centre zone as it facilitates a land use commensurate with a local convenience nature of the intended function of the area.

    The proposal is considered to be of materially low impact and complement the existing operation of the local centre providing a diverse range of goods and services to meet the day-to-day needs of the residents in the locality.

    Local Planning Policy 5.1: Parking sets out the requirements for access and parking provisions for non-residential development. It is noted that a central principle of the policy is to:

    ‘provide for and encourage greater use of alternative transport modes, reducing reliance on the car, notwithstanding the need for suitable parking to be provided as part of proposed development.

    The relevant car and bicycle parking requirement applicable to the site has been listed in Table 2.

    Table 2 – Parking Requirements for Consulting Room Group

    Cars Bicycles (Short Stay) Bicycles (Long Stay)

    4 spaces/practitioner 1 space/4 practitioners 1 space/8 practitioners

    The proposed development will involve a maximum of 3 practitioners on site at any single time, thereby generation a car parking requirement of 12 car bays, 3 short stay bicycle parking and 1 long stay bicycle parking. The development will comfortably cater to the needs in terms of mobility and access, assisted by the bus stops located immediately outside the subject site on both sides of the street and quality cycling and walking infrastructure.

    A detailed assessment of the parking situation is provided at Appendix C.

  • Development Application - Consulting Rooms (Group) - 13November2018 7

    Local Planning Policy 5.2: Advertising Signs: sets controls applicable to all external signage on site.

    A horizontal identification (wall) sign is proposed to be affixed to the front of the building. The sign proposes dimensions of approximately 3m x 1m (3sq.m) to match the existing sign of the upper level tenancy, as detailed in Figure 4. This additional sign will provide improved symmetry to the building, and will complement the existing signage and assist in way finding to direct customers into the building.

    The sign complies with Policy 5.2: Advertising Signs, prepared pursuant to LPS1. In particular, the sign will:

    • be purely for identification purposes

    • not impact on the surrounding locality by way of visual clutter or road safety.

    • be integral with the design of the building and flush mounted

    • not adversely affect the character or amenity of the area

    • display information relating to the site of the advertisement

    • will not advertise third parties for commercial gain.

    CONCLUSION Based on the above and enclosed, we believe that that the consulting rooms grouped (physiotherapist) is consistent with the intended use of the area and will not have any undue impacts on other uses in the locality.

    We understand that this application is subject to public advertising under LPS 1. Accordingly, it is respectfully requested that the Town of Cambridge commence advertising at its earliest opportunity.

    It is respectfully requested this application be approved subject to relevant and reasonable conditions.

    Should you have any queries, please contact the undersigned at (08) 9346 0500.

    Technical Memorandum

    1 Introduction

    This Technical Note details the results of a Parking Study conducted on behalf of Active Solutions Physiotherapy to determine the parking impact of the proposed Change of Use at 437 Cambridge Street, Floreat (The Site).

    This Parking Study defines the likely generation of parking attributable to the proposed use, the potential extent of parking overspill into adjacent on-street parking and the availability of such parking within a reasonable catchment area.

    2 Methodology

    A detailed survey was conducted between the hours of 1:00pm and 4:00pm on a typical weekday, corresponding to the peak demand period for the physiotherapy clinic.

    Parking occupancy of car bays was surveyed within a 150m walking distance of the Site. This is considered to be a reasonable walking catchment for this type of trip purpose.

    Parking occupancy was recorded in 15 minute intervals across an observed supply of 69 bays, both marked and unmarked, within the defined catchment area.

    An overview of the study area and parking supply is provided overleaf.

    3 Supply Requirement

    The Town of Cambridge’s Ancillary Uses and Development 5.1 Parking Policy defines a requirement for 4 spaces per practitioner, as described in the table below.

    Table 1 Town of Cambridge Parking Requirements

    Land Use Cars

    Consulting Rooms (Group) 4 spaces/practitioner consulting at any one time

    The proposed physiotherapy is to accommodate a total of 3 practitioners, resulting in a statutory requirement of 12 bays. The strata allocation for this use is 7 bays, resulting in statutory deficit of 5 bays.

    4 Parking Demand Requirement

    The nature of the proposed business suggests that the statutory requirement over-estimates the impact of parking by the Site. It is considered that the Land Use defined in the Parking Policy includes high-turnover consulting rooms, and is therefore overly conservative.

    A likely maximum parking demand for the Site would be characterised as follows:

    > 3 staff parking bays (1 per physiotherapist); plus,

    > 1 staff parking bay for an admin/receptionist.

    > 3 visitor parking bay for clients currently being seen; plus,

    > 3 visitor parking bays for clients waiting to be seen

    This assumes that all visitors and staff arrive by car, and results in a total consumption of 10 car parking bays, of which 7 are provided off-street. Therefore, the maximum extent of parking over-spill to the on-street supply would be 3 parking spaces.

    Cardno notes that increasing on-site activity to four (4) practitioners would result in this maximum demand increasing to 13 car parking bays (6 of which would be on-street).

    The type of use proposed in this application is consistent with the intended function of the on-street parking supply, which is predominantly restricted to 1P in the vicinity of the Site.

    5 Parking Availability

    The survey showed that a maximum occupancy of 74% was observed (between 1:15 and 1:30pm). 18 bays or more were available over the survey period.

    Average occupancy was 47% (or 32 bays out of a total of 69). The results of the parking survey are shown below for reference.

    6 Conclusions

    The proposed change of use for the Site is likely to generate a maximum demand for 3 on-street parking bays. Surveys show that at least 18 bays are available at all times during the physiotherapy clinic’s peak demand period. Further, the parking restrictions imposed on the nearby on-street parking bays support the likely needs of visitors to the clinic.

    This suggests that there is no impediment to the proposed Change of Use on the basis of on-site parking constraints. Further, that there is sufficient capacity in the adjacent on-street supply to support four (4) practitioners working on-site, should this ultimately be required.

  • ADDRESS - Attachment 5 - Schedule of Submissions

    Submitter Number Received

    Type of Comment Comments

    1 11/12/2018 Object We refer to your letter of 23 November 2018, reference No. DA18/0348, and confirm our OBJECTION to the APPLICATION for a change of use from Office to Consulting Rooms (Group) and Associated Signage.

    Our reasons for this Objection are:

    1. Current Council requirements for minimum on site car parking is 11 plus a bicycle bay, a total of 12 bays. The Applicant is only proposing to provide 7 bays or 58% of the minimum requirements. A level of leniency can be tolerated, however 58% of the minimum requirements is a major digression and if approved, may set an unnecessary precedent for Council and the community.

    2. As the adjoining Owner, we have very recent experience with extra car parking needed by business concerns in the immediate area but external to our property. Persons seeking extra car bays use our car park for their own use and create car parking difficulties for our occupiers. We have been forced to register our car park as a result, but this requires policing by our occupiers and creating a distraction from attending to their own business operations. It is our view, if Council approves the Application, the occupier will quickly start to use our car park for their staff purposes and allocate their onsite bays (7) for their customers - this is obviously to our disadvantage and is unacceptable.

    2 29/11/2018 Support As the owner of XXXX and the Director of XXXX which occupies that address, I write in support of Active Solutions Physiotherapy's proposed "change of use" of 437 Cambridge St. (Ref No. DA18/0348).

    The proposed Physiotherapy clinic would be complementary to the community of surrounding businesses, collectively known as Floreat Village. In particular, the proximity of the medical centre at 439 Cambridge St, the Pharmacy at 447 and the Veterinary clinic at 438 create a health-care hub. Physiotherapy services are currently not offered in the locality and would both suit and support the important range of uses to service t. he locate community.

  • Parking has always been adequate in the area, and we look forward to welcoming Megan O'Shea and her partners into the growing community-focused business community that the area enjoys.

    3 13/12/2018 Support I am writing in support of the application by Physiotherapist Meagan O'Shea, for a change of use from office to consulting rooms at 437 Cambridge Street.

    Megan is a local resident and is looking to move her small one Physiotherapist business into a more modern premise.

    It is my opinion that the amenity of local businesses and residents will not be affected. In fact it may even be enhanced as her patients may use the local adjacent shops and cafes, including ours, prior to, or after appointments, as they do from the Medical Centre.

    The Physiotherapists peak times are afternoons, after work hours, which will have little impact on parking in the area, especially as she has 7 designated bays for patients.

    Please accept this letter of support as a local resident and business owner.

    4 13/12/2018 Support I'm a local business owner on Birkdale street, "The Suite' and I'd like to lodge my support for Megan O'Shea in opening her Physiotherapy practice.

    I can only think of positive reasons for this business to open in its desired locality and it will compliment this thriving little hub in Floreat that has been created by ambitious and community minded residences.

    We have never had a problem with parking for our customers and I don't foresee this practice adding any parking issues. Hopefully this practice will add extra shopping business from their visiting clients

    5 13/12/2018 Support My name is XXXX, Owner of XXXX. The Business owners would like to see all businesses in the precinct sustainable. As such we are in favour of new varied businesses coming to the precinct.

    We have no objection to the proposal.

  • 6 14/12/2018 Support I am writing to declare my support for Active Physio Solutions to move into the premises at 437 Cambridge St and to allow the change of use. The area is thriving town hub and the pre-existing medical use next door should be ample grounds for allowing addition of complimentary allied health services.

    I am a XXXX at XXXX and have worked there for over six years. We work actively with Megan and her team and have established a strong working relationship which will further benefit our patients if we are collocated. I see nothing but good to come from the plan and look forward to the convenience and ability with which we will meet our patients needs.

    Being present on an almost daily basis I see no concerns with physio patients putting pressure on XXXX parking where doctor numbers vary hugely day to day. In fact if our patients can see both the doctor and the physio without having to travel it will be mutually beneficial for all.

    7 14/12/2018 Support I wish to register my support for the relocation of Active Solutions Physiotherapy to 437 Cambridge Street Floreat. I am a XXXX currently working from XXXX located at XXXX. I am an independent contractor and have been working at XXXX since August 2011. I am also a local resident. I have lived at XXXX since the end of 2000.

    I have a very positive working relationship with all the staff at Active Solutions physiotherapy and believe that the relocation of this business next to our practice would be beneficial to all our existing patients and compliment the services and high level of patient care we currently deliver. The proximity of this business next to ours would enable patients to streamline appointments to both services and provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to the delivery of evidence-based medicine for the benefit of all. A successful physiotherapy practice such as Active Solutions would not only add to the benefit of patients attending XXXX but also add to the amenity of the Cambridge/ Birkdale precinct which already offers a wide range of business services.

    Many of our patients and staff, myself included, are local residents and walk to XXXX. I am aware that the property has 7 onsite parking bays and believe this would be more than adequate. Many of the patients attending would also be local residents and be able to walk hence I do not foresee any issue with parking.

  • 8 14/12/2018 Support We support the proposed physio practice being located XXXX at 437 Cambridge St Floreat and don't believe parking will be an issue for this site.

    Having another business with a complimentary client base to many of the businesses in this location can only be beneficial.
