Development Application - 74 Mill Point Rd, South Perth

Proposed 36 Storey Mixed Use Development Application

In late November 2017, the City received a new application and proposal for the development site at 74 Mill Point Road, South Perth (now numbered 72 & 74 Mill Point Road, South Perth). While some similarities exist in the design of this latest development application and previous proposals for the site, some significant changes have been made.

Changes have largely been in response to Amendment 46, which comprised modification and additional provisions to the Schedule 9 development controls which guide development within the Special Control Area 1 (SCA1) – South Perth Station Precinct.

Amendment 46 and the Schedule 9A controls had implications for a number of sites and existing approvals within SCA1 including the subject site, with particular regard to elements such as the street setback, plot ratio mix and the Table B performance criteria which are necessary to be addressed in full for proposals seeking to vary height and plot ratio and is applicable only those sites in the Special Design Area of the SCA1.

Given the existing approved plans could technically no longer be re-approved or extended under the current Schedule 9A legislation and the fact the approved proposal consists of predominantly non-residential floor space, the applicant has lodged a new proposal which has been designed to be consistent with the new provisions of Schedule 9A.

Feedback on the revised plans closed at 5pm, Friday 5 January 2018.

The new proposal can be summarised as follows:

• 36 Level (118.2m) Mixed Use Development plus two basement levels
• Two levels of basement providing residential stores, services and residential parking bay allocations
• Ground floor consists of a proposed café, a community meeting room, commercial and residential lobbies, bicycle storage, end of trip facilities, mail room, fire pump room, fire tanks, bin store and services
• Level 1 has a community consulting tenancy fronting Mill Point Road with residential and non-residential car parking behind
• Level 2-3 has commercial offices fronting Mill Point Road with residential and car parking behind
• Level 4 has 6 serviced apartments and a landscaped terrace for the use of short stay tenants
• Levels 5 and 6 have 12 serviced apartments (combined) configured with generous balconies
• Levels 7–35 contain 112 residential apartments (14 differing dwelling types) including a communal amenity floor on the 20th level.
