Car wash to expand

Tyler BrownWanneroo Times

The proposal it also includes six vacuum bays, two laser car washes, one open wash area, an office, 14 car-parking bays and a small external seating area for the food outlet was conditionally approved at last month's Joondalup council meeting.

A council document said the development at 8 The Gateway met most planning requirements except the vacuum and chamois bay, which is proposed to have a setback of 3.8m to the street boundary instead of 6m, but this would not have an "adverse impact on the streetscape".

At the same meeting, councillors also conditionally approved modifications to a car wash that has not been operational for some time at 57 Joondalup Drive, Edgewater.

The proposal is to turn the mechanical drive-through car wash into a hand car wash and reception area with caf� for customers. The site is part of the Joondalup Gate development and the proposed works are next to the existing Shell Coles Express service station.

A council document said the proposal met most planning requirements except car parking and building setbacks but it was consistent with other developments in the area and would be "an improvement on the existing un-used mechanical car wash".
