PARKING AND PARKING FACILITIES LOCAL LAW 2023

Date of advice: 12 April 2023

Under the powers conferred by the Local Government Act 1995 and under all other powers enabling it, the Council of the Town of Cottesloe resolved on 28 February 2023 to make a Parking and Parking Facilities Local Law 2023.

The Parking and Parking Facilities Local Law 2023 was published in the Western Australian Government Gazette on 31 March 2023. It is available to view on the Town’s website at www.cottesloe.wa.gov.au/council/policies-and-local-laws/local-laws.aspx, at the Town’s Administration office (109 Broome Street, Cottesloe) and at the Grove Library (1 Leake Street, Peppermint Grove).

MARINE PARADE UPGRADE PROJECT

Date of advice: 30 March 2023

At the Town of Cottesloe Council Meeting held on Tuesday this week (28 March 2023), Council confirmed its commitment to implementing the Cottesloe Foreshore Masterplan, in full and cost-effectively, while minimising inconvenience to residents and impact on all beach users.

At the meeting, Council considered proceeding to tender on roadworks on Marine Parade, between John Street and Overton Gardens, to resurface that section of road and bring it into line with the relevant design elements of the Foreshore Masterplan. This was an opportunity presented by the availability of grant funding for part of the work. 

Cost estimates for the works have increased due to current market issues, and part of the works would be sacrificed when other elements of the Masterplan are implemented. Proceeding with the roadworks at this stage would result in a temporary unfinished interface with the local business premises and would likely increase the duration of road closures. Council elected to postpone the works at this stage and instead to focus on securing funding to deliver the project in a more strategic way, including progressing the redevelopment of Carpark 2 as a key functional and financial element of the Foreshore Masterplan.

North Street Store – Building Act Compliance

Advice date: 2 September 2021

At the August Council Meeting, Council resolved as follows:

That Council REQUESTS the CEO to publish on the Town’s website a summary of the material facts and the reasons for the Officer’s Recommendation in respect of the prosecution against Do a Dinner Pty Ltd, as resolved in item 13.1.1 at Council’s July Ordinary Council meeting.

The Town considers that the provisions of the Building Act 2011 may have been contravened in the following respects:

  1. Carrying out building works within the building without a valid building permit.
  2. Occupying the building without a valid Occupancy Permit.
Carrying out works without a building permit

Building work, unless otherwise exempt, is not permitted to be carried out without a building permit.

Section 9 of the Building Act 2011.

Occupying  a building without an Occupancy Permit

A class 6 building is not permitted to be occupied without a valid occupancy permit.

Section 43(2) of the Building Act 2011.

The Town has been in ongoing correspondence with the proprietors about these matters for some time.  Further, the proprietors were made aware of the relevant building requirements during the proceedings in the State Administrative Tribunal.

Building Act 2011 Obligations

As a permit authority under the Building Act 2011, the Town has a general duty and obligation to enforce the provisions of the Building Act 2011. Where building works have been carried out without requisite building permits, or a building is being used and occupied without a requisite occupancy permit, the use and occupation of that building may present a risk to staff and patrons. In the event the Town takes no action to address those issues, the use and occupation of that building also presents a risk to the Town.
