- The land use
With regard to the proposal, the WAPC Position Statement: Residential accommodation for ageing persons December 2020 is relevant. The position statement introduces a new land use type ‘independent living complex’ meaning:
“a development with self-contained, independent dwellings for aged or dependent persons together with communal amenities and facilities for residents and staff that are incidental and ancillary to the provision of such accommodation, but does not include a development which includes these features as a component of a residential aged care facility”.
