A ‘PAT’ is a Permit for Activity on Thoroughfares and is an application for approval to commence works within the verge and/ or local road.

Yes. A PAT is required under the Town’s Local Law - Activities on Thoroughfares and Trading in Thoroughfares and Public Places Local Law, for public realm works associated with the WAPC approval to the extent they are proposed within the road verge. The Local Law falls under the overarching Local Government (Uniform Local Provisions) Regulations (Regulations), which stipulate local roads be under the Town’s care and control and management.

The PAT is required under the Local Law for public realm works associated with the SDAU approval, as the proposed works fall within the road verge, and on Turnbull Way (Laneway). The various public realm works proposed in the road verge for the Mos Lane development (i.e. new on-street car parking bays, bike racks, pavement and landscape treatments, footpaths, a parklet and new street trees), are consistent with the plans of the State WAPC approval for the Mos Lane Development. An associated legal agreement will provide lawful authority for the additional works not covered by the PAT.

The most recent PAT for the site was approved by Council at its OCM of 28 May 2024. 

The Town's role in accordance with Part 17 of the Planning and Development Act, as the local government, is to assist in the facilitation of clearing of approval conditions. To clear several conditions related to the public realm, consideration of the PAT is one of them.

The Town’s role is not to suggest fundamental design changes at this stage unless technical experts require further interventions with regards to road and pedestrian safety.

What the Town can do, is assess whether the approved plans can be bettered through additional traffic calming measures, improved landscaping species types, and make sure appropriate mitigation measures are applied during the installation/ construction phase.

The Town’s assessment is in accordance with advice from traffic engineers and lawyers. This is so the Town can achieve the safest outcome for the approved design to enable an appropriate and sustainable outcome for the community.

Demolition is expected to commence in late June 2025 and will take approximately one month depending on site conditions and any unforeseen challenges. The process will be executed with a focus on efficiency, safety, and minimal impact on the surrounding area.

The CMP is a detailed plan developed by the project team and reviewed by the Town and has been approved by the State Development Assessment Unit as a condition of WAPC approval for the development. It sets out how construction impacts—such as noise, traffic, dust, and parking—will be managed responsibly.

If you’ve contacted the builder and the issue remains unresolved, the Town will investigate under the guidance of its Compliance and Enforcement Policy. Please phone the Town’s customer service team who can assist you and direct your concern or enquiry regarding the relevant responsible department.
