1 Introduction
Aurigen Group Ltd (Aurigen) is a private waste service provider that specialises in a variety of services
to domestic, industrial and local government clients including resource recovery, waste logistics, waste
disposal and commodity aggregation and trading. Commodity aggregation refers to the sorting and
consolidation of recycled materials in order to prepare them for sale to markets. Aurigen recently
acquired a lease at Lot 2 (No. 25) Jackson Street, Bassendean (the Site) and has been operating with
some commodity aggregation at the Site since late 2015. They now propose to develop a Waste
Transfer and Resource Recovery Facility (the Facility). This will be an integrated Facility providing a
range of recycling and waste management services, reflective of modern advanced facilities.
1.1 Scope of Report
The Town of Bassendean (the Town) has requested that Aurigen prepare a Landscape Plan to support
the Development Approval for its proposed Waste Transfer and Resource Recovery Facility at the Site.
The Town's letter to Talis dated 30th June 2016 sets out the requirements of the Landscape Plan, which
will be covered in this document. Namely, that the Landscape Plan address all requirements outlined
within the Town's Local Planning Policy No. 18 Landscaping with Local Plants.
This Landscape Plan has been prepared to be consistent with the following Planning Policies:
Town of Bassendean's Local Planning Policy No. 18 Landscaping with Local Plants (LPP18);
Town of Bassendean's Local Planning Policy No. 6 Industrial Zones Development Design
Guidelines (LPP6);
Town of Bassendean's Local Planning Policy No. 13 Trees on Development Sites; and
Town of Bassendean's Local Planning Scheme No. 10 (LPS10).
The Landscape Plan comprises the following sections:
Section 2: Site Description
Section 3: Relevant Local Planning Policies
Section 4: Existing Vegetation; and
Section 5: Proposed Landscaping.

2 Site Description
The Site’s existing buildings include two stand-alone sheds along with an office building and parking
facilities. All of these buildings are located towards the front half (Jackson Street end) of the Site. The
Site is made up of large areas of hard-stand, which have been historically cleared and appear to
have little to no pre-development vegetation remaining. The entire Site is fenced with gated access
points on Jackson Street and Alice Street.
In terms of current vegetation on the Site, there are small areas of low-lying vegetation along the street
frontage and along the perimeter of the Site with a small number of trees present on the north-western
and south-eastern fence lines and in the area fronting on to Jackson Street to assist with screening.
A site inspection and landscape survey was undertaken on the Site on 31st October 2016 by Talis. The
survey reported a number of planted native tree species along with low lying vegetation. These are
detailed in Drawing Series A-501 to A-504.

3 Relevant Local Planning Polices
As part of the preparation of the Landscape Plan, a review of the requirements relating to landscaping
within the Town's Local Planning Policies were undertaken. The following section sets out the proposed
development's compliance with the relevant Town of Bassendean Local Planning Policies relating to
landscaping, namely:
Town of Bassendean's Local Planning Policy No. 18 Landscaping with Local Plants (LPP18);
Town of Bassendean's Local Planning Policy No. 13 Trees on Development Sites; and
Town of Bassendean's Local Planning Policy No. 6 Industrial Zones Development Design
Guidelines (LPP6).
3.1 Consistency with LPP18
The Town's LPP, 'Landscaping with Local Plants', assists the Town in promoting the protection and
enhancement of natural resources within the region by prescribing minimum standards for
landscaping with local native plants. Table 3-1 sets out this Landscape Plan's consistency with LPP18.

3.2 Consistency with LPP13
LPP13 states the Town's position on the retention of trees on development sites. This policy has limited
relevance to the proposed development at the Site. There as there is no vegetation remaining on the
Site prior to its development in the 1970s (refer to Figure 7 - Historical Aerials in the Environmental
Assessment and Management Plan).
3.3 Consistency with LPP6
A summary of the Site's compliance with the development design guidelines outlined in LPP6 is
provided in Table 3-2.

An existing minimum width of front boundary
landscaped area of 2 metres.
2.24m minimum width of landscaped area from

An existing minimum width of side boundary

At least 1m width of vegetation on side boundaries.
Landscaping provided in accordance with the
Council's landscaping policy (LPP18)
As detailed in this Landscape Plan.
Shade trees in car parking areas provided at a
ratio of 1 per six car parking bays as
recommended in the Council's landscaping
policy (LPP18).
As shown on the Landscape Plan, there are seven
trees in the immediate vicinity of the car park areas.
With 40 proposed parking bays at a ratio of 1:6, 6.6
shade trees would be required. However, four of the
parking bays are undercover resulting in 36 parking
bays requiring six shade trees.

4 Existing Vegetation
All existing trees on Site were surveyed for accurate tree positioning and captured in Drawing Series
A-501 to A-504.
In accordance with LPP18, all trees over 2m in height were surveyed during the landscape survey for
species, trunk diameter, drip line and crown height. Details of the tree survey can be found on Drawing
Series A-501 to A-504 and in Appendix A.

5 Proposed Landscaping
5.1 Lawned areas
As shown in Drawing Series A-501 to A-504, Aurigen proposes to landscape and restore the grassed
areas at the front (Jackson Street) of the Site. The total lawned areas for the Site have been calculated
to be 671m².
5.2 Landscaped garden beds
The area designated for landscaped garden beds will be planted with water conserving small native
shrubs. These garden beds are proposed to be covered with 100mm of mulch to reduce evaporation,
improve the soil and inhibit weed growth.
As recommended within LPP18, local, endemic species are proposed to be planted in the
landscaped garden beds. Talis utilised the Town's recommended source - Apace WA - to determine
a short list of recommended species to be used for planting. As detailed on Drawing Series A-501 to
A-504, small shrubs such as Swan River Myrtle, Elegant Beaufortia or Bacon and Eggs will be introduced
to the Site with planting centres, or spacing between plants, of between 800mm and 1,000mm.
Details of the proposed plant species, as sourced from Apace WA, are shown in Table 5-1.
Table 5-1: Species to be selected from for planting on Site
Scientific name Common name Description Height at
maturity
Hypocalymma robustum Swan River Myrtle
Small multi stemmed shrub to
1m, pink/purple flowers July to
October.
1m
Beaufortia elegans Elegant Beaufortia
Erect shrub to 1m, Occurs in
sand over clay and winter wet
depressions. Flowers pink to
purple in globular heads in
spring to summer.
0.8m
Gastrolobium capitatum Bacon and Eggs
Small shrub to 0.2 to 0.7m high.
Red (orange) and yellow
(brown) pea flowers, winter to
spring.
0.7m
The total landscaped garden bed area of the Site was calculated to be 646m². Accounting for a 1m
offset from the office building and path, the total area requiring planting of small shrubs totals 435m².
Table 5-2 outlines the estimated number of small shrubs required for landscaping the area designated
for this purpose.

5.3 Reticulation
It is anticipated that a reticulation system will be required to irrigate some of the newly planted and
rehabilitated landscape areas on the Site.
For the lawned areas, an appropriate reticulation system will be installed with emitters, such as 100mm
pop up rotary nozzles or fixed spray sprinklers (Water Corporation, 2013).
Whilst the plants proposed to be planted in the landscaped garden beds are considered to be water
conserving native species, advice from reticulation specialists sought during preparation of this Plan
indicated that reticulation should be installed in the garden beds for at least the first year after planting
to ensure establishment of the plants. As such, a suitable system will be installed with drip line irrigation,
pop up/fixed spray or rotary/gear drive nozzles as recommended by Water Corporation Guidelines
(Water Corporation, 2013).
In accordance with the Water Corporation's Backflow Prevention Policy and obligations under the
Water Services Act 2012 and Water Services Regulations 2013, an approved backflow prevention
containment device will be installed on the property by a licensed plumber. The installation of such a
device will prevent backflow of water from the Site into the water mains supply system (Water
Corporation). The device will maintained to manufacturer's specifications.
