PLANNING — MARINE PARADE, COTTESLOE
390. Hon NEIL THOMSON to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Planning:
I refer to the recent decision of
the State Development Assessment Unit to approve a seven-storey development on
Marine Parade at Cottesloe.
(1) Why was the
Town of Cottesloe not consulted on the third iteration of the development that
was recently approved by the SDAU and is now being considered by the Western Australian
Planning Commission for final approval?
(2) Did the
Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage publicise the latest iteration of
the development application on the SDAU website in the ''under
assessment'' category prior to consideration by the SDAU; and, if yes,
what date was this uploaded?
(3) Given that the development could not have been
approved by a development assessment panel in its current form, under
planning provisions pre-dating the COVID emergency, does the minister concede
that the recommendation by the SDAU to override local planning scheme 3 sets a dangerous
precedent for local governments across Western Australia?
