An application has been made to develop a Child Care Premises at Lot 85 (No. 94) West Road, Bassendean (corner of West Road and Bridson Street). The application will be determined by the Metro Inner Development Assessment Panel (DAP). Further information regarding the Development Assessment Panel and the process for assessment and determination of DAP applications can be accessed via the following link: Development Assessment Panels (planning.wa.gov.au).

The proposed Child Care Premises involves:

• A 2-storey, purpose-built Child Care Premises capable of accommodating up to 80 children (0 to 5 years old) and 13 staff;
• Childcare services to be provided Monday to Friday between 7.00am and 6.30pm;
• 15 onsite car parking bays, accessed via West Road.

The site is zoned ‘Residential’ (R20) under the Town’s Local Planning Scheme No. 11. ‘Child Care Premises’ is an ‘A’ use in the Residential Zone; which means the use is not permitted unless the DAP exercises its discretion by granting development approval following public advertising. Following the close of the advertising period, the Town will provide its recommendation and a summary of submissions to the DAP. 

Under the Planning and Development Act, the proponent has the option for the matter to be presented to the DAP if the value of the project is between $2million and $10million.  The proponent has exercised this right.
