VOTING RECORD

COMMITTEE RESOLUTION:

That the information be received and noted.

Alderman Burnet

The development application regarding 337 Churchill Avenue is adjacent to the Lipscombe Rivulet. Consequently residents of Plaister Court, immediately across from the rivulet, were not notified, as they were not directly adjoining the property.

These residents, whilst not directly adjacent to the development, are likely to be most affected by the development, and therefore it could be argued that they should have been notified.

Is there any way to strengthen the level of notification of parties likely to be affected who are so close to a development such as the above example, in relation to any development that occurs in Hobart under the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997, and the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, and into the future?

The Director City Planning took the question on notice.

Alderman Briscoe

Noting the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme is currently before the Planning Commission – how is the Council monitoring the progress of our planning scheme before the Planning Commission? Are we actively involved in pursuing our position?

The Director City Planning took the question on notice.
