five-year action plan. The Strategy addresses environmental and
heritage factors identified as having the potential to be impacted
by airport development and operations, including:
• soil,
• groundwater and surface water,
• biodiversity, including flora, fauna and wetlands,
• carbon and energy,
• water,
• waste,
• air quality,
• ground-based noise,
• contamination and hazardous materials, and
• Aboriginal heritage.
As Perth Airport operates 24 hours per day, seven days a week,
the energy efficiency of terminals and buildings along with the
efficiency of aircraft and vehicle traffic are key considerations
for managing environmental impacts, including greenhouse
gas emissions. Through careful planning and investment,
Perth Airport ensures that airport infrastructure is well
designed and delivered to meet demand.

Development opportunities                                            Over the past five years, Perth Airport has experienced ongoing
                                                                     demand for non-aviation developments, predominantly

a prime location for aviation and non-aviation activities.
                                                                     role in the growth of non-aviation development at Perth Airport.
Perth Airport plays a significant role in developing and providing
                                                                     Perth Airport currently has more than 150 tenants located on
land for employment, creating high-quality commercial, industrial
                                                                     the estate. The planning for Perth Airport identifies further

            Dear Sir/Madam,

            CITY OF BELMONT SUBMISSION – PERTH AIRPORT PRELIMINARY DRAFT MASTER
            PLAN 2020

            Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Perth Airport Preliminary Draft Master Plan
            2020. The draft Master Plan was formally considered by the City of Belmont Council on 24
            September 2019 and the following comments are provided:

            General Comments

            The City of Belmont has previously provided comment on the Exposure Draft Perth Airport
            Master Plan 2020, and it is pleasing to note that much of the feedback provided has been
            incorporated into the draft Master Plan, particularly in terms of the Environment Strategy
            component.

            The City generally supports the draft Master Plan and considers that the document addresses
            the requirements of the Airports Act 1996. The draft Master Plan continues to provide a
            comprehensive and clear outline of the proposed development and management of the Perth
            Airport estate over the next 20 years.

            The rapid and continuing growth of the area and the need to balance long-term infrastructure
            decisions within uncertain economic conditions is a difficult task, and the draft Master Plan
            provides a long-term vision for the Airport precinct for the benefit of internal and external
            stakeholders.

            Section 1 - Introduction

            It is noted that the draft Master Plan has been updated to include the relocation of Qantas
            operations from T3/T4 to Airport Central by 2025. This inclusion is supported as it reflects the
            ongoing consolidation of the airport terminals within the Airport estate. The City remains
            committed to working with Perth Airport in the progression of the consolidated Airport precinct
            and the expansion of runway infrastructure over the next 20 (twenty) years.

Section 2 – Planning Context

The Environmental Management objective on page 54, which states a “vision to operate and
grow in a manner that minimises environmental impacts and considers sustainable solutions
for the development and operation of the airport estate” is supported, as well as the stated
commitment to a suitable environmental offset arrangement to address the loss of
Commonwealth species.

The sustainability principles on page 55 are supported, however it is suggested that an
amendment be made to the second dot point as reflected below (in bold font).

      The consideration of building management, vegetation retention, canopy provision
       and resource conservation opportunities during the planning and design phases of
       development.

This will promote consideration of canopy provision during planning and design, resulting in
benefits to urban liveability and healthy communities through mitigation of the urban heat
island effect. This could be implemented through the proposed Environmental Management
Initiative No. 5 of the Environment Strategy.

Section 3 - Land Use Planning

General Comments

Section 3.3 of the draft Master Plan outlines the zones within each precinct area, and includes
a list of objectives and discretional uses for each zone. The ‘Mixed Use’ zone is a new zone
that has been included in the draft Master Plan however there are no associated objectives for
discretional uses listed for the zone.

It is understood that this zone has been created to effectively act as a transitional zone for the
duration that Qantas remain in Terminals 3 and 4, after which it will revert to a combined
Airport Services and/or Commercial zone. To avoid confusion, it is recommended that this
could be more clearly illustrated by simply showing a combined Airport Services and
Commercial zone (perhaps by hatching both zone colours) rather than create a new zone
altogether which does not have any objectives for considering discretional uses.

Hospital and Education Establishment Land Uses on Perth Airport Estate

As noted in our response to the Exposure Draft Perth Airport Master Plan 2020, it is noted that
the ‘sensitive’ land uses of ‘Hospital’ and ‘Education Establishment’ are to be included within
the ‘Commercial’ zone. This proposal has previously been considered by the City’s Executive
Leadership Team, who have provided ‘in principle’ support for inclusion of Hospital and
Education Establishment land uses considering:

      The lack of supply for both a university and tertiary hospital in the north-east region;
      The Airport West precinct (the portion of the Airport estate within the City of Belmont’s
       Development Area 6 (DA6)) is not within land affected by the Australian Noise
       Exposure Forecast contours.
      Development of education and hospital land uses in the Airport West precinct is
       consistent with Transit Oriented Development (TOD) principles as it provides
       employment opportunities and services within the walkable catchment of the future
       Redcliffe Train Station.
A28

      The land uses are considered to produce outcomes consistent with the objectives of
       planning for Activity Centres, which is the desired approach for DA6.
      The proposed sensitive land uses do not deviate from the commercial nature of land
       uses contemplated by the current Airport Master Plan, and the Vision Plan for DA6.
      Development of the land uses is considered to bring significant long term opportunities
       and benefits to both residents and businesses in the City of Belmont.

The above notwithstanding, it should be noted that the City is providing ‘in principle’ support
only, and this is not endorsement for any specific proposal on any designated development
site.

Precinct Planning

It is noted that no changes to precinct names or boundaries are proposed. It is considered that
the precinct and land use plans provide a clear overview of the developments proposed whilst
maintaining sufficient flexibility to allow Perth Airport to negotiate with current and future
leaseholders.

As indicated previously, the City notes that development of ‘Precinct Plans’ for each of the
identified precincts are under preparation by Perth Airport, but these plans are not subject to
public consultation in the same manner as the draft Master Plan. It is considered that the
conceptual spatial layout of these precincts would benefit from separate public consultation,
particularly with respect to outlining key transport, land use and interface considerations that
may warrant further review prior to a Major Development Plan being prepared for an individual
site.

Whilst the consultation associated with a Major Development Plan is considered sufficient, it is
often difficult to provide comment on individual development applications without
understanding the spatial context within which that development is located. A conceptual and
non-statutory precinct plan may assist in providing such context, and better inform the public
on the potential development outcomes within each of the precincts.

The City does, however, recognise that the publication of more detailed precinct planning is
not a requirement of the Act, and if considered a statutory requirement the plans may be
prejudicial to the implementation of development within the relevant precincts. For this reason
the City suggests that the precinct plans may be considered entirely separate from the Master
Plan process, and be prepared as conceptual plans only to assist in informing Major
Development Plans.

Development Area 6

The City of Belmont is currently progressing comprehensive planning for the Development
Area 6 (DA6) precinct in Redcliffe, which is located directly adjacent to Perth Airport’s identified
Airport West precinct. The DA6 precinct has long been identified as a significant
redevelopment area due to its low development density and ageing housing stock, its strategic
location adjacent to Perth Airport, and the construction of the new Redcliffe Train Station as
part of the State Government’s METRONET programme.

There are clear opportunities to create a high quality and robust transit oriented development
surrounding Redcliffe Train Station with supporting intensive residential and commercial uses.
As Redcliffe Train Station is located at the border between DA6 and Airport West, it is
essential that planning across both precincts is undertaken collaboratively between the City of
A29

Belmont and Perth Airport. Future development and land uses within the Airport West precinct
should facilitate and complement the future vision for DA6.

The draft Master Plan should provide a holistic plan for the Airport West precinct to inform
future planning surrounding DA6 and the Redcliffe Train Station. In doing so, it should identify:

      The appropriate land uses immediately adjacent to and within a walkable catchment of
       the future Redcliffe Train Station. Low activity generating and car dominated land uses
       should not be permitted immediately adjacent to the Train Station.

      Key pedestrian routes through the Airport West Precinct to encourage and maximise
       access to Redcliffe Train Station. Whilst individual development proposals can provide
       more definitive access routes, it is considered that they should nonetheless be
       informed by an overarching Master Plan that is premised on wider precinct planning.
       This should not simply be limited to identifying the location of paths along existing road
       networks, but also identify any access limitations from the existing street block
       configuration and strategies to respond to those limitations.

Activity Centre Hierarchy and Retail Sustainability

Perth Airport is identified under the Western Australian Planning Commission’s State Planning
Policy 4.2 – Activity Centres for Perth and Peel (SPP 4.2) as a ‘Specialised Centre’ with the
primary function being ‘aviation and logistic services’. SPP 4.2 states that in Specialised
Centres “A range of land uses that complement the primary function of these centres will be
encouraged on a scale that will not detract from other centres in the hierarchy.”

The Perth Airport Master Plan 2014 identified that over time limited office, retail and bulky
goods developments may be constructed in the Airport West Precinct, and that there is scope
for retail development to a scale commensurate with a ‘Neighbourhood Centre’. In accordance
with SPP 4.2, a ‘Neighbourhood Centre’ provides for the daily and weekly household shopping
needs, community facilities and a small range of other convenience services. The draft Master
Plan maintains that the precinct would be developed to align with a ‘Neighbourhood Centre’,
however with a broader scope to include office, education, hospitality, well-being, medical
services, retail and bulky goods developments.

In considering the future planning for the Airport West Precinct in the context of the activity
centres hierarchy, it is important to consider:

    1. Whether the nature and scale of future development and land uses in the Airport West
       Precinct appropriately align with the ‘Specialised Centre’ activity centre designation
       under SPP 4.2 and/or a ‘Neighbourhood Centre’ as identified by the draft Master Plan.

    2. The implications that existing and proposed future land uses and development could
       have on the overarching activity centres hierarchy.

Planning for a ‘Neighbourhood Centre’ would typically be identified in a local planning strategy
and supported by a Retail Needs Assessment (RNA) that outlines the estimated retail need
and indicative distribution of floorspace across the activity centres hierarchy. The City of
Belmont is currently in the process of reviewing its local planning strategy and preparing a
supporting RNA, and in the absence of this work being finalised or adequate supporting
A30

information being provided, there is a concern that the draft Master Plan could facilitate future
development that undermines the existing activity centres hierarchy.

It is acknowledged that any major development proposals providing shop-retail floorspace
would be supported by a Retail Sustainability Assessment (RSA) to assess the impact that the
development would have on the network of activity centres. Whilst it is appropriate to
undertake this assessment for individual development sites, it is nonetheless considered to
represent a ‘piecemeal approach’ to future planning in the absence of a clearly defined
role/function of the centre and an overarching RNA.

Notwithstanding the above, it is considered that there is merit in planning for a ‘Neighbourhood
Centre’ immediately adjacent to the future Redcliffe Train Station and DA6 precinct. This would
be supportive of transit-oriented development principles and provide local convenience
retailing for residents in the wider DA6 precinct which is currently limited. It is considered
inappropriate however for this development to occur beyond the immediate catchment of the
Redcliffe Train Station and DA6. Similarly, land uses with high car parking requirements and
low employment densities (e.g. bulky goods showrooms) should not be supported next to the
Redcliffe Train Station or DA6.

It is recommended that the Master Plan be amended to establish a ‘Neighbourhood Centre’
zone (or similar) immediately adjacent to the Redcliffe Train Station and DA6. This will provide
for special land use and development control that supports transit-oriented development
principles and that are distinct from the remainder of the Airport West precinct. The Master
Plan should also be amended to clearly define the main role/function and typical
characteristics of the Airport West Precinct to better align with SPP 4.2. Ideally, the Master
Plan should also be supported by a Retail Needs Analysis.

Environmental Considerations

The following comments are provided in relation to environmental considerations:

   The inclusion of the following statement under 3.2.3 Airport North Precinct is supported: ‘to
    retain certain areas containing high environmental and heritage values’. It is suggested
    that this statement also be included for the Airfield Zone. This will reflect the presence of
    the Airport Conservation Walk Trail and surrounding vegetation, and the likely ability to
    retain low lying vegetation (including threatened flora Macarthuria keigheryi) close to
    Tonkin Highway in the approach to the proposed new runway.

   The inclusion of ‘Recreation - Public’ as a discretionary use for the Airfield Zone and Airport
    West Precinct (Commercial Zone) is supported. This reflects the presence of the Airport
    Conservation Walk Trail and Public Viewing Area, respectively.

   Previous development such as the Taxiway Charlie Extension proposed that offsets would
    occur within the estate “by the provision of a net environmental benefit within the estate”. It
    is suggested that more information be provided within the Master Plan as to whether these
    areas of vegetation will be retained, and if not, whether off-site offsets will be purchased.

   It is noted that on page 77, under Section 3.5 Changes from Master Plan 2014, there is no
    mention of the changes to discretionary uses, the amendment to objectives, or to the
    change to identify objectives only for Zones (rather than Precincts). It is recommended that
    these changes be included and detailed within this section.

Section 4 - Aviation Development

The Aviation Development section is considered to be a comprehensive and clear outline of
the proposed upgrades and consolidation of air services infrastructure within the Airport estate.

It is noted that this section identifies the possible closure of the cross runway, once the parallel
runway system is operational. Any initiative that may reduce aircraft noise impacts on City of
Belmont residents is welcomed. It is acknowledged that the final decision on the future of the
cross runway will be made once the new runway is operational.

Section 5 – Non Aviation Development

Whilst this section provides a comprehensive overview of non-aviation development intended
to occur over the Master Plan period, it is again suggested that conceptual precinct plans be
prepared and released for public comment.

Whilst it is recognised that such detailed planning is not required by the Act, and the current
level of information provided is entirely sufficient for a high level Master Plan, the preparation
of conceptual, non-statutory precinct plans may assist in identifying key infrastructure, land use
and interface issues early in the development process, and may assist in informing land use
and infrastructure planning within surrounding areas.

The proposed movement of Qantas from T3/4 to T1 Consolidated Terminal by 2025 is
consistent with our understanding and is expected to result in a significant reduction in traffic
impacts on Second Street and Stanton Avenue, and is therefore supported.

Section 6 – Ground Transport

The Ground Transport section provides a comprehensive and clear outline of transportation
issues and actions.

The shift away from the dominance of private car travel is supported. Whilst private vehicles
will still be the predominant form of transport to and from the Perth Airport estate for the
foreseeable future, the inclusion of commentary relating to shared path and cycleway facilities,
end of trip facilities and new and emerging modes of transport is welcomed.

Figure 6.3 (page 118) illustrates the existing road network, including identifying Fauntleroy
Avenue as a ‘secondary access’ to the airport. The adjacent text on page 119 however
identifies both Fauntleroy Avenue and Second Street as secondary access points into the
airport.

Furthermore, the draft Master Plan does not give any details of projected traffic volumes on the
surrounding local road network. It is suggested that the Draft Master Plan be updated to
include this.

Re-Closure of Grogan Road

It is noted that that the option of tunnelling Grogan Road under the new runway (previously
proposed in the 2014 Master Plan) is no longer being considered. It is understood that this
option is now deemed cost prohibitive considering that over 60% of traffic during peak hours
use Grogan Road as a shortcut and are non-airport related trips. Notwithstanding that, the
City acknowledges the concerns of the Cities of Swan and Kalamunda and the Shire of
