1.0 BACKGROUND

In response to considerable economic development and population growth, there is strong demand for high quality accommodation in Karratha.

The Department of Regional Development and Lands, in association with the Shire, has identifi ed several parcels of surplus drainage land which, subject to rezoning, are suitable for redevelopment. The initiative is part of lazy lands’ program.

Historically, the parcels have been reserved for ‘Parkland and Drainage’. Since the original development of the town, understanding of fl ood risk has evolved considerably. Now, consistent with policy across the State, the Department of Water and other peak bodies have confi rmed that the parcels of land are not required for drainage and may now be considered for development.

Similarly the Public Open Space Strategy developed by the Shire and the Department of Planning identifi ed the subject land parcels as not required for future open space requirements.

The amendment will facilitate the development of the respective sites for additional high quality accommodation in Karratha.


2

2.0 SITE

The proposal relates to the following sites:

Location DA Number Lazy Lands Code

ReserveNumber Site Area

Lot 617 Shadwick Drive, Millars Well DA 40 P17 40041 944 m²

Lot 655 Warrier Street, Bulgarra DA 41 P55 32335 2956 m²

Lot 1926 Ridley Street, Bulgarra DA 42 P60 36952 5105 m²

Refer to Figure 1A - Aerial Plan, Figure 1B - Aerial Plan & Figure 1C - Aerial Plan.

The sites are devoid of signifi cant vegetation with the exception of Ridley Street which contains some trees on or near its western boundary. There may be the potential to incorporate the trees into the future development of the land.

None of the sites have ever performed a drainage function.

2.1 Land Tenure

The parcels of land are reserved for ‘Parkland, Drainage and Public Infrastructure’. Further, the parcels were subject to a management order in favour of the Shire for drainage, parkland and infrastructure purposes. As explained in various sections of this report, the lands are no longer required for their dedicated purpose.

The process of excising the parcels from the reservation has already commenced. The Shire resolved to support the excision and cancellation of the applicable management orders at a special meeting in October 2011. At the same meeting the Shire also resolved to support in principle the redevelopment of the parcels for residential development.

The parcels were advertised to private developers through an Expression of Interest in March 2012. Subject to approval of the rezoning, the successful developers may seek planning approval and complete the development of the sites for residential purposes.

3.0 PROPOSAL

The scheme amendment proposal can be summarised as follows:

Location ExistingReservation Proposed Zone DA Number Development

PotentialLot 617

Shadwick Drive, Millars Well

Parks, Recreation and Drainage

Urban Development(Residential R40) DA 40 4 group dwellings

Lot 655 Warrier Street, Bulgarra


Urban Development(Residential R40) DA 41 14 group dwellings

Lot 1966 Ridley Street, Bulgarra


Urban development(Residential R40) DA 42 9 group dwellings

It is proposed to include the sites within the ‘Urban Development’ zone with a requirement that development be in accordance with a Development Plan which addresses the following:

a) Building orientation;

b) Fencing height and design;

c) Setback variations; and,

d) Vehicle access and parking.


4

4.0 CONTEXT

The parcels of land are all located within Karratha town site and as such represent ‘infi ll’ development. In all cases the sites share a common boundary with at least two existing sites which contain residential development.

All the sites are located within proximity of existing and planned schools, open space, and shopping facilities.

The attached Context Plan (Figure 2) also identifi es the other sites comprising the fi rst stage of the Lazy Lands initiative facilitated by the Pilbara Development Commission. These are:

Lazy Lands Code DA NumberP31 DA 43

P44 DA 44

P13 DA 45

P28 DA 46

The specialist sub consultant reports attached at Appendix B and C address all seven sites comprising the fi rst stage of the Lazy Lands initiative, including those the subject of this report.

5.0 TOWN PLANNING FRAMEWORK

5.1 Statutory Planning Framework

5.1.1 Shire of Roebourne Town Planning Scheme No. 8

Existing Reservation

As outlined in Section 2, the land is currently reserved ‘Parks, Recreation and Drainage’. As detailed in this report the subject lands are no longer required for drainage purposes or for parks and recreation.

It is proposed to include the sites within the ‘Urban Development’ zone. As explained in Section 3, the purpose of inclusion within the zone is to enable production of a Development Plan for each site which provides guidance in terms of:

a) Building orientation;

b) Fencing height and design;

c) Disposition of building bulk and scale within sites; and,

d) Vehicle access and parking.

Storm Surge Risk

The sites are also included within the ‘Storm Surge Risk’ special control area. Clause 7.5 states:

STORM SURGE RISK AREA

7.5.1 When considering applications for planning approval, Council shall have regard to information about the land prone to 1 in 100 year storm surge events and may permit, with or without conditions, or refuse proposals at its discretion.

7.5.2 When considering applications for planning approval, Council shall consult the relevant agencies regarding the most up-to-date information available about potential storm surge events and sea level rise which may affect the proposals subject to application.

7.5.3 Development within the Residential, Commerce or Health, Welfare and Community categories in the zoning table is not permitted within an area known to be subject to 1 in 100 year storm surge events. Council may approve other development categories subject to considering:

(a) the sensitivity of the proposal to risk;

(b) protection measures to be constructed; and,

(c) social and cultural value.


6

Recently Council resolved to modify Clause 7.5.1 via Amendment 27. The intent of the amendment is to:

a) Refl ect current research into coastal risk in the Karratha region;

b) Incorporate changes to government policy, particularly related to the capacity for agencies to have regard to ‘risk based assessment’ in determining the suitability of land for development within certain areas; and,

c) Remove legal ambiguities within the existing clause.

The potential impact of storm surge risk on the three sites has been subject to assessment by JDA Hydrology. The assessment concludes that none of the sites are predicted to be impacted by the 1 in 100 year storm surge event. The fi ndings are discussed in greater detail in section 8 of this report.

5.2 Local and Regional Strategy

5.2.1 Karratha City of the North Plan

The Karratha City of the North Plan (KCNP), adopted by the Council of Roebourne on 18 May 2010, comprises a series of strategic documents including the Karratha City Growth Plan, the Karratha City Centre Master Plan and the Implementation Blueprint. Together these documents identify a range of spatial and non-spatial requirements to guide the future growth of Karratha to a regional city of up to 50,000 residents.

The KCNP provides the basis for guiding decision makers in assessing rezoning, subdivision and development applications, as well as the provision of infrastructure and community facilities over time.

The proposal will play some part in Karratha attaining the target population of 50,000. Importantly the KCNP provides for a growth plan which has a direct bearing on the proposal and is discussed in detail below.

5.2.2 Karratha City Growth Plan

The Karratha City Growth Plan (KCGP) is a city-wide strategy to guide the future development of Karratha into a city of 50,000 residents. Specifi cally the KCGP will guide the future spatial and non-spatial development requirements for the growth of Karratha, identifying the need for land supply, housing diversity, open spaces, commercial nodes, entertainment and retail areas, as well as the provision of community and servicing infrastructure.

The KCGP identifi es Karratha as a series of neighbourhood precincts. Each precinct is described in terms of its desired urban character, land use and urban structure as well as identifying key assumptions and planning considerations requiring further resolution.


7

In addition, the KCGP identifi es a range of city precincts which have been established to encapsulate particular urban areas based on the predominant land uses, urban structure, built form and public realm amenity and character.

The subject parcels are identifi ed in the ‘Pegs Creek / Millars Well’ and ‘Bulgarra’ precincts. The following precinct recommendations are signifi cant in terms of the proposal:

a) Infi ll development, like that proposed, is identifi ed as a key objective in the short to medium term;

b) Development should be site responsive, walkable and connected residential neighbourhood that provides good pedestrian and vehicular connectivity within, to and from existing residential areas; and,

c) Encourage housing diversity, including densities of R40 with some areas of R60 around centres of activity.

Moreover, in relation to surplus drainage areas the KCGP states:

With regard to existing urban areas, the City Growth Plan promotes infi ll development of vacant sites and surplus drainage reserve/open space land to facilitate additional housing diversity.

As explained in this report the proposal substantially complies with the requirements of the Karratha City Growth Plan.

5.2.3 Karratha Public Open Space Strategy

This open space strategy has been prepared to provide a framework for the provision of public open space in the urban areas of Karratha. The strategy’s secondary purpose is to assist Council rationalise its open space system within the context of overall need, function and operation.

All three sites are identifi ed as surplus to open space requirements and suitable for residential development.

5.2.4 Karratha 2020 (Vision and Community Plan)

The Karratha 2020 Vision and Community Plan (2009), prepared by the Council of Roebourne in partnership with the State Government and industry, assesses Karratha’s infrastructure and service needs in response to anticipated future population growth.

The key themes highlighted in the document include the need to provide affordable, non-mining related housing to address the escalating costs of housing as well as the need to provide a diverse range of housing types, including accommodation for seniors.

The proposal meets the objectives of Karratha 2020 by providing for a range of non-mining related housing types in a walkable, pedestrian friendly and community focused development.


8

5.3 Planning Policy

5.3.1 State Planning Policy 3.4 Natural Disasters and Hazards (SPP 3.4)

The purpose of SPP 3.4 is to ensure that potential natural risks and disasters are appropriately considered in the planning and development process.

Amongst other risks, SPP 3.4 identifi es overland fl ooding and storm surge as hazards which must be accounted for in the planning process.

The policy establishes the predicted ‘100 year average recurrence interval’ (ARI) as a key event for both overland fl ooding and storm surge. The 100 ARI must be accounted for in areas where such risks are known to occur.

The policy provides a strategic basis for State Planning Policy 2.6 State Coastal Planning which addresses coastal planning, including storm risk in greater detail.

5.3.2 State Planning Policy 2.6 State Coastal Planning (SPP 2.6)

A key component of SPP 2.6 is to provide guidance on storm surge risk and associated inundation. The policy establishes the following key parameters:

a) Shoreline stability;

b) Potential for extreme storm events, predicted 100 year average recurrence interval as established in SPP 3.4;

c) Historic trends; and,

d) Sea level change.

In 2010 SPP 2.6 was reviewed to provide further clarity in terms of key assumptions relating to the calculation of risk. Specifi cally the following was outlined:

a) Predicted sea level rise of 0.9m to 2110, instead of the current 0.38m; and,

b) Consideration given to 1: 500 year storm surge events instead of the current 1 : 100 year events.

In relation to point b above, the draft states:

For storm surge inundation, consideration is given to ocean forces and coastal processes that have a 0.2 % or one-in-fi ve hundred probability of being equalled or exceeded in any given year over the planning time frame.


9

The draft was recently subject to public and agency review. At the time of completing this amendment proposal, submissions on the draft were due for consideration by the Western Australian Planning Commission. The review of SPP 2.6 is expected to be completed by mid 2013.

The implications of SPP 2.6, including the revised draft, are discussed in detail in Section 8.


10

6.0 SITE CONSIDERATIONS

As detailed in Section 5, a key objective of the Karratha City Growth Plan is to promote development which is of a high standard and meets the requirements of future residents. The KCGP states:

Development should be site responsive, walkable and connected residential neighbourhood that provides good pedestrian and vehicular connectivity within, to and from existing residential areas.

With respect to the subject lands the following urban design considerations are important:

a) Pedestrian movement;

b) Visual amenity impacts particularly as viewed from major streets such as Dampier Road;

c) Design and orientation of parking areas, with particular reference for the need to account for parking of boats, trailers and vehicles associated with the lifestyle of the Pilbara;

d) High quality streetscapes characterised by well orientated development which is not dominated by poorly located parking areas for vehicles; and,

e) In some cases control of building bulk and scale.

6.1 Lot 617 Shadwick Drive, Millars Well

A Site Analysis Plan is provided at Appendix E - Development Plan. The following site factors have been identifi ed:

a) Need to relocate existing footpath to enable pedestrian movement;

b) Multiple road frontages; and,

c) Exposure to the Dampier Road and the need for development to be completed in a way which minimises potential visual impacts.

6.2 Lot 655 Warrier Street, Bulgarra


a) Need to relocate existing footpath to enable pedestrian movement;

b) Multiple road frontages;

c) Vehicle access and parking; and,

d) Interface with adjoining reserve and the need for development to be completed in a way which promotes passive surveillance.


11

6.3 Lot 1926 Ridley Street, Bulgarra


a) Multiple road frontages;

b) Vehicle access and parking; and,

c) Interface with adjoining reserve and Millstream Road and the need for development to be completed in a way which minimises potential impacts.


12

7.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLANS

It is proposed to include the sites within the ‘Urban Development’ zone as provided by the Scheme. Clause 7.2.3.1 requires subdivision, land use and development to be in accordance with a Development Plan (DP).

The requirement for a DP is justifi ed on the following basis:

a) Peak planning documents such as the Karratha City Growth Plan emphasise the importance of high quality development which responds to the local environment;

b) The sites are highly visible from major thoroughfares such as Dampier Road. There is a requirement for development to contribute to the visual amenity of the environment as viewed from Dampier Road; and,

c) The sites have multiple street frontages and there is a need to provide for a coordinated approach to access and parking.

Appendix 8 of the Scheme outlines the matters to be addressed in the preparation of a DP. Whilst the criteria are largely applicable to the production of local structure plans, the DP’s have been prepared cognisant of the following key criteria as addressed in this report and accompanying appendices:

a) Landform, topography, landscape, vegeta on and soils of the area;

b) Loca on, exis ng roads, land uses and surrounding land uses and features;

c) Legal considera ons, ownership, tle descrip on, area and encumbrances;

d) Exis ng and proposed services and infrastructure including re culated or other potable water supply, sewerage, energy, communica ons, drainage and catchment considera ons;

e) Exis ng places and features of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal heritage and/or cultural sigini cance, including natural landscapes, ora and fauna in addi on to built structures and other modi ed environments;

f) Road layouts and tra c assessments, communal and incidental parking areas, pedestrian/cycle network/underpasses, including impacts on the surrounding movement network;

g) Public open space and recrea on provision, environmental protec on areas,and rela onships to natural features;

h) Assessment of the impact of the proposal on the natural environment, including management of poten al e uent, emissions and other forms of pollu on;

i) Comprehensive drainage systems for stormwater runo and natural drainage lines; and,

j) Intended building design, form and orienta on.


13

It is proposed that each DP be assessed concurrently with this amendment report. Nevertheless, the Department of Planning has advised that the DP cannot be endorsed until after the amendment has been granted fi nal approval by the Minister for Planning.

The Proposed DP’s are attached at Appendix E - Development Plans.

Associated with each DP are indicative designs that illustrate how key requirements can be addressed for each site. The Plans are indicative only and will be subject to further refi nement and Council consideration at the development application stage.


14

8.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

All the sites have been subject to individual environmental assessment. The report is attached at Appendix B – Environmental Report. As discussed in Section 2, the parcels are located within the Karratha town site and have been cleared of remnant vegetation.

The environment assessment concludes that it is highly unlikely that the development potential of the subject lands will be impacted by environmental factors.

The fi ndings are summarised as follows:

8.1 Flora

No rare or endangered fl ora is present on any of the subject sites.

8.2 Fauna

No rare or endangered fauna is present on any of the subject sites.

8.3 Wetlands

There are no wetlands on any of the subject lands.

8.4 Aboriginal Heritage

There are no registered Aboriginal Heritage Sites or Heritage Places on any of the subject lands

8.5 Acid Sulphate

The sites do not contain acid sulphate soils.

8.6 Geotechnical

A geotechnical assessment for each site is included at Appendix C – Geotechnical Report. The sites are capable of supporting residential development.

8.7 Contamination

None of the sites are listed on the Department of Environment and Conservation Contaminated Sites database.

Given that the sites are vacant and have not previously been developed it is considered that there is a low potential for the risk of contamination on the site.


15

9.0 HYDROLOGY AND DRAINAGE

Each site has been subject to a Water Management Assessment completed by JDA Hydrology. The full reports are attached at Appendix D – Water Management Assessment Summary.

None of the sites are predicted to be impacted by the 100 year ARI fl ood or storm surge events. This conclusion has been confi rmed by the Department of Water (DoW). The DoW has also confi rmed that the sites are also predicted to be not impacted by the 500 year ARI storm surge event.

A summary of the fi ndings are outlined as follows:

9.1 Lot 617 Shadwick Drive, Millars Well

In relation to Lot 617 the report prepared by JDA Hydrology states as follows:

a) For major fl ood & storm surge, the Department of Water has advised that the natural surface of Lot 617 is above the 100 year ARI and 500 year ARI events;

b) For catchment drainage, Lot 617 is located within catchment 8 (GHD, 2010) which is one of the smaller catchments in the Karratha area. There are no adjacent open drainage channels;

c) For lot drainage, stormwater runoff is directed toward Shadwick Drive at the northern boundary of the Lot which then fl ows northwest within the width of the road extent. Stormwater runoff is anticipated to be contained within the depth of the road kerb; and,

d) A Stormwater Management Plan will be required by the Shire of Roebourne to support a future Development Application for Lot 617.

This Water Management Summary supports the proposed scheme amendment.

9.2 Lot 655 Warrier Street, Bulgarra

In relation to Lot 655 the report prepared by JDA states as follows:

a) For major fl ood & storm surge, DoW has advised that the natural surface of Lot 655 is above the 100 year ARI and 500 year ARI events;

b) For catchment drainage, Lot 655 is located within Catchment 19 (GHD, 2010) which is one of the larger catchments in the Karratha area. There is an adjacent open drainage channel to the east with the invert of the main channel being approximately 0.5m lower than the Lot;

c) Desktop assessment indicates that fl ooding in a 100 Year ARI rainfall event does not exceed 0.5m;

d) For lot drainage, stormwater runoff fl ows east toward the open drainage channel which then fl ows in a northerly direction; and,


16

e) A Stormwater Management Plan will be required by the Shire of Roebourne to support a future development application for Lot 655.

This Water Management Summary supports the proposed Scheme Amendment.

9.3 Lot 1926 Ridley Street, Bulgarra

In relation to Lot 1926 the report prepared by JDA Hydrology states as follows:

a) For major fl ood & storm surge, DoW has advised that the natural surface of Lot 1926 is above the 100 year ARI and 500 year ARI events;

b) For catchment drainage, Lot 1926 is located within catchment 19 (GHD, 2010) which is one of the larger catchments in the Karratha area. There are no adjacent open drainage channels;

c) For lot drainage, stormwater runoff is directed onto Ridley Street at the northern boundary of the Lot which then fl ows east within the width of the road extent. Stormwater runoff is anticipated to be contained within the depth of the road kerb; and,

d) A Stormwater Management Plan will be required by the Shire of Roebourne to support a future Development Application for Lot 1926.

This Water Management Summary supports the proposed Scheme Amendment.


17

10.0 TRAFFIC AND SERVICES

10.1 Traffi c

All the sites have access to sealed roads. The roads are of suffi cient width and design standard to accommodate the minor increases in traffi c volumes resulting from the development of the respective sites.

10.2 Water

With respect to all sites, a reticulated water main is located within the relevant adjoining road reserve.

The Water Corporation has confi rmed that there is suffi cient capacity to serve the development proposed.

10.3 Deep Sewerage

With respect to all sites, a reticulated deep sewerage main is located within the relevant adjoining road reserve.

The Water Corporation has confi rmed that there is suffi cient capacity to serve the development proposed.

10.4 Power

With respect to all sites, power infrastructure is located within the relevant adjoining road reserve.

Western Power has confi rmed that there is suffi cient capacity to serve the development proposed.

Refer to Figure 3A – Services Plan, Figure 3B - Services Plan & Figure 3C - Services Plan.


18

11.0 JUSTIFICATION

The report clearly justifi es the rezoning of the subject sites. Support for the proposal can be summarised as follows:

11.1 Drainage Land Surplus to Requirements

The water management reports accompanying the amendment clearly indicate that the parcels are not required for drainage and are predicted to be not impacted by 1 in 100 year storm events or 1 in 100 coastal storm surge events.

The Department of Water concurs with the assessments.

The development of the sites is predicted to pose no risk to future residents or the occupants of adjoining land parcels.

11.2 Strategic Context

The proposal is entirely consistent with key strategic planning documents for Karratha. The Karratha City Growth Plan, which was recently endorsed by Council, states:

With regard to existing urban areas, the City Growth Plan promotes infi ll development of vacant sites and surplus drainage reserve/open space land to facilitate additional housing diversity.

11.3 Environmental & Geotechnical Considerations

All parcels are unconstrained by environmental factors.

11.4 Servicing

All parcels of land are capable of being serviced by water, deep sewerage and power.

11.5 High Quality Development

It is recognised that the Shire is committed to promoting high quality development in Karratha.

For this reason a Development plan has been prepared for each site in order to facilitate a high standard of development.
