Planning assessment: Defined Use Section 3.2 ‘Zoning Table’ of TPS5 identifies the various uses permitted according to the zoning of land. The zoning permits the proposed development as followings: “Warehouse”: “Storage Facility/ Depot/Laydown”: “AA” (the development is not permitted unless the Council has granted planning approval). “AA” (the development is not permitted unless the Council has granted planning approval) Airport Precinct Objectives The objectives of the Airport Precinct outlined under Clause 5.3.4 of TPS5 are as follows: a) Protect options for future airport infrastructure within the precinct, b) Ensure that development within the precinct meets prevailing noise and height limitation standards associated with the operation of aircraft, and c) Ensure that any commercial development reinforces the transportation functions of the airport. In relation to the specific objectives of the precinct: • the proposed land use is consistent with the Port Hedland International Airport Redevelopment Strategy adopted at the Town’s June 2014 Ordinary Council Meeting; • noise and height limitation requirements are addressed through provisions in the Kingsford Smith Business Park Design Guidelines and expanded on further below; and • the commercial development does not impact or degrade the strategic transport function of the airport but will rather improve its long-term capacity as a transportation asset for the community. Kingsford Smith Business Park Design Guidelines The Kingsford Smith Business Park Design Guidelines (Guidelines) is an adopted Local Planning Policy prepared to ensure that a high standard of development is maintained throughout the development of the precinct and the value of the Town’s asset is maintained. Page 6 The Guidelines also help purchasers, developers and building designers appropriately design premises which assist in delivering the vision for Kingsford Business Park. The key purposes of the Guidelines are as follows: • • • To create a high quality light industrial / bulky goods estate which services the Port Hedland community and provides a place of employment; To form a cohesive light industrial / bulky goods precinct which capitalises on the proximity of the Port Hedland Airport, and allows a for a range and scale of businesses that may benefit from this proximity; and To implement and achieve sustainable building and management practices, including maximizing resource efficiency, minimising waste to landfill, minimizing energy use and water consumption. An assessment of the proposed development has determined that the proposal complies with all mandatory requirements of the Policy relating to the identified Light Industrial / Bulky Goods area. Local Planning policy – Percent for Public Art In accordance with the Local Planning Policy, any development exceeding $5 million and located within the Town Centre, Commercial, Tourism, Mixed Business and Airport zones is required to contribute 1% of the total project cost towards the development of Public Art which reflects the place, locality or community, up to a maximum contribution of $250,000. Based on the total expected development cost, the landowner is required to contribute $250,000 towards the creation of public art. Conclusion: The proposed development complies with the Town of Port Hedland’s Strategic and Statutory Planning Framework. The sensitivity and primacy of the airport is noted. The Town, however, considers the on-going involvement of CASA and ASA in the development of Kingsford Smith Business Park through various approval phases leading to this development application ensures appropriate scrutiny has been applied on the suitability of the land use and its proximity to airport assets. The proposed development assists to meet the objectives of the Pilbara Port City Growth Plan, which will guide the growth of the Town into a City over the next several years. The proposed development will contribute positively to the development of the Kingsford Smith Business Park and may act as a catalyst for further development. Accordingly, the application is recommended for approval.

No objections were received during the original advertising period. Consultation with other Agencies or Consultants Nil Planning assessment: Clause 4.6.3 of The Town of Port Hedland Town Planning Scheme No. 5 (TPS) specifies that where planning approval has been granted, the development is to be substantially commenced within 2 years; 4.6.3 Where the Council grants planning approval, that approval: (a) continues in force for two years, or such other period as specified in the approval, after the date on which the application is approved, and (b) lapses if the development has not substantially commenced and is in continuation before the expiration of that period. In accordance with clause 4.6.4 of TPS5 a written request may be made to Council for an extension of the term of planning approval at any time prior to the expiry of the approval period; 4.6.4 An application may be made to the Council for an extension of the term of planning approval at any time prior to the expiry of the approval period in clause 4.6.3 (a) The applicant has submitted an application for extension of time prior to the expiry of the approval, as required.
