Studies/Investigations Required to Support Further Rezonings and/or Subdivision
Hydrological studies and water management strategies to confirm appropriateness of stormwater management proposals and interface with identified wetlands, Helena River and other surface/ground water features;
Flora and/or fauna studies and recommended management strategies where appropriate, particularly where land is identified as a Conservation Priority Area or Regional Ecological Linkage under the draft Local Planning Strategy.
Acid sulfate soils investigations in identified Class 1 and 2 risk areas;
Aboriginal heritage studies to confirm presence of sites and any requirements for clearances;
Civil engineering investigations to confirm site servicing capacity, including the extension of / connection Helena Valley Land Use Study October 2013

intersection treatments and interface with Helena Valley Road; and
Fire management planning for land identified as having Moderate or Extreme bushfire hazard level. 4.6.4 Precinct 4 – Katharine Street / Clayton Road Description: The Katharine St/Clayton Road Precinct comprises all land within the study area north of the Helena River. The precinct is bounded by Frederic Street, Scott Street, and the Helena River.
Precinct 4 comprises an established (mostly unsewered) residential area, rural residential properties along Katharine Street (to the west of the precinct backing onto the Helena River), and also land around the Clayton Road/Samson Street area identified for further residential investigation. The precinct encompasses the two northern entry routes into Helena Valley being via Katharine Street to the northwest and Scott Street to the north. The only District Open Space in Helena Valley lies within the precinct at the intersection of Scott Street and Clayton Road.
The majority of Precinct 4 remains unsewered, with reticulated sewer provision limited to land fronting Frederic Street and Noel Street to the north. Opportunities for redevelopment of existing residential land and/or areas identified for residential investigation would be subject to the ability to provide reticulated sewer. This is a critical constraint for any further residential development in the area, and may deem such expansion activity to be a long term prospect at best. The retention or relocation of the District Open Space site is recognised as a key consideration. The opportunity to provide a secondary facility to the southwest of Helena River and therefore service a wider catchment has been shown in Precinct 1. Similarly, an alternative location for the Scott Street facility is shown within this precinct but would require considerable further investigation and landowner consultation, along with associated infrastructure upgrades to facilitate improved connectivity south of the Helena River (e.g. new crossing at Samson Street). Residential investigation areas to be assessed against criteria including, but not limited to:
Helena River and floodplain/flood fringe delineation and interface, and maximisation of opportunities to extend regional parks and recreation reserve linkages along both sides of the river;
Flora/fauna conservation considerations;
The feasibility of providing reticulated sewer;
Recognition of the Helena Valley Homestead as a site of Heritage significance; and
Opportunities for medium density and/or aged accommodation having regard to the precinct’s accessibility and higher surrounding amenity particularly adjoining Helena River. The conservation and enhancement of natural assets including the Helena River and floodplain environs, Bush Forever Areas and any identified conservation priority areas. Accessibility to/from the precinct across the Helena River via a potential pedestrian/cyclist link at Samson Street in the short term, or full road/bridge construction in the longer term.

Further subdivision and development of these properties may be achievable subject to the provision of reticulated sewerage, and/or the partial location of lots within the floodway/flood fringe area subject to the agreement of the Department of Water and provision of necessary riverpark reserves along the Helena River (to the agreement of the Swan River Trust / Department of Parks and Wildlife and Department of Planning).

4.6.5 Precinct 5 – Helena Valley Road East Description: The Helena Valley Road East precinct comprises all rural residential land to the western extent of the study area generally east of properties on Ridge Hill Road and east of Scott Street. The precinct also includes land north of the Helena River accessed via Clayton Road and Fyfe Street. Key Elements: The Helena Valley Road East precinct is characterised by steeper sloping rural lifestyle properties and encompasses areas of significant bushland, together with several rural orchard properties around Fyfe Street to the northeast. The precinct offers a high degree of rural bushland amenity with its undulating topography and view corridors. The precinct abuts Beelu National Park. The upper extent of the Helena River dissects the precinct running east-west. Access to the precinct is via Scott Street from the north, or from the south via Ridge Hill Road. A smaller number of small holdings are accessed via Clayton Road and Fyfe Street. Key Considerations: No further intensification of land use is identified for Precinct 5, reflecting both the physical nature of the precinct, the important natural character of the landholdings, and the need to protect further fragmentation of the small rural holdings. The conservation and enhancement of natural assets including the Helena River and floodplain/flood fringe environs, Bush Forever Area No.215 and identified Conservation Priority Areas. Investigate potential construction of a river crossing at Fyfe Street to improve pedestrian/cyclist links to local services and the Helena Valley Primary School while assisting emergency access.

CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS The Helena Valley presents a number of potential opportunities for future urban/residential development, over and above that currently identified by Directions 2031, the WAPC’s Urban Development Program and existing MRS Urban zones. In this regard, the area has the opportunity to play a significant role in meeting future housing requirements of the Shire, where other localities are much more limited in their growth potential by local environmental and servicing constraints. Although a number of sites are currently in the process of being planned and/or developed for more intensive residential land uses, there remain a number of further opportunities for residential investigation, particularly in the central portions of the study area south of the Helena River. Considering this, conservative estimates suggest the Helena Valley could potentially accommodate a doubling of its residential accommodation which, combined with significant development proposals in neighbouring Bellevue and Bushmead, will lead to significant additional local/regional demand for employment, services and community facilities. The existing topography, environmental features and servicing constraints of the area are limiting factors in addressing existing connectivity issues and improving access between existing/future residents and local services. However, a number of opportunities have been identified in this study for further investigation, which may help to increase local service provision and improve functional linkages between residential communities north and south of the Helena River (along with neighbouring areas of Bellevue and Bushmead). The findings and recommendations of this study are intended to inform the development of an urban expansion strategy for the Helena Valley, which will set out publicly the Shire’s expectations for the area in terms of planning principles, zoning preferences and key connections, and provide a guide for future rezonings and/or structure planning for future development sites.
