If you are a DAP affected community, now is a great opportunity to speak to your elected council members and request your council’s support and vote for the abolition of the current DAP process.

And if you think a change of government will abolish the DAP, think again.  Labor under the leadership of Mark McGowan has just supported City of Perth Bill in collaboration with the current government.

DAP has bi-partisan support.  It’s up to our councils to make a stand on the DAP.

Bayswater Town Centre

Julie Matheson, CFP® Bayswater, Uncategorized , , ,

The residents of Bayswater are currently facing a 7 storey development proposal for our small town centre along King William Street. Our town planning scheme was amended last year to mixed development up to 5 storeys at 20m. A developer, Yolk Property Group have come in with a proposal for 7 storeys at 20m, despite the 5 storey restriction on a site less than 1000 m2 with a maximum of 2 storey heritage buildings in the area.

In our attempts to come to grips with the impact and scale of this proposal, we commissioned a 3D walk through of the town site showing 5 storeys at 20m on the proposed site. For context, we also commissioned a view of 3 stories on the town site.

Whilst every area and site is different, you may like to view this for your reference:
