Plans for a $4.7 million improvement in Como with each residence and townhouse dwelling have been permitted by State planners.
Metro Inner-South Joint Development Assessment Panel members unanimously permitted on Tuesday plans from landowner Seven Peppermint Grove Pty Ltd to construct three flats and 9 townhouses at 1 Wooltana Street and 154 and 156A Robert Street.
A single-storey house on the largely vacant web site will likely be demolished.
The flats and two of the townhouses will likely be 4 storeys tall and the remaining seven townhouses will likely be three storeys.
The improvement will embrace common design options equivalent to lifts, direct entry from the parking space to the entry and a rest room on the bottom flooring of every townhouse.
“These elements will help facilitate aging in place as well as providing living options for people with limited mobility,” a report stated.
Each of the townhouses could have its personal personal entrance backyard space, whereas the residence models could have a communal backyard within the southern setback space.
The web site is about 430m south of the Canning Bridge practice station and 350m north of Manning Road.
A City of South Perth report stated the event was of a bulk and scale in step with buildings within the space and would have a “negligible amenity impact” on surrounding properties.
“The setbacks are considered appropriate for a development of this size and scale — the facades, materials, colours, landscaping and architectural features provide uniqueness to the built form,” it stated.
Applicant Pinnacle planning director Ben Carter stated there was an “extremely low response” from group session and no main points have been raised.
The applicant wrote in a report the redevelopment of the location was for the aim of multi-residential infill.
“The design of the building takes into account some of the prevailing design examples in the wider locality, particularly of Art Deco style, and utilises a materiality and colour palette approach that reflects proximity to the Canning River foreshore in Como,” it stated.
