The developer must pay a proportion of the cost of the pipe replacement, with the Council paying the rest.

 

The size of the developer’s contribution will be based on the age, condition and life expectancy of the pipe. If a pipe replacement is deemed necessary, then the actual apportionment of these costs must be agreed upon by both the Council and the developer prior to the issuing of any consent under the Building Act 2016 or the commencement of works (whichever occurs first).

·       Construction must be based upon thorough investigation, reporting and design by suitably qualified persons.

 

·       All stormwater on site must be immediately directed to council mains upon the construction of hard surfaces to minimise the potential for uncontrolled stormwater flows affecting slope stability.

 

·       All design and construction must be undertaken in accordance with The Australian GeoGuides for Slope Management and Maintenance (Australian Geomechanics Society, 2007e) except where modified by a condition of the planning permit PLN­12­00214 or where structures are founded in underlying competent weathered gravels.

 

·       All design and construction must be undertaken in accordance with

condition 10 of planning permit PLN­12­00214 which specifies that:

 

·       all seepage waters encountered during the construction of excavations are to be collected and directed to the Council stormwater drainage system or an approved stormwater disposal system;

·       all natural vegetation must be retained wherever practicable;

·       all natural contours must be retained wherever practicable;

·       all areas requiring fill must be prepared by stripping the vegetation and topsoil from the proposed fill area and by benching or keying the surface to receive the fill into the natural slope prior to filling;

·       only clean fill materials may be used and all fill material must be adequately compacted; and

·       boulders exposed during excavation operations must be assessed by a suitably qualified person to determine slope stability risk and any boulders at risk of instability must be stabilised.

 

·       All permanent cutting and/or filling must be constructed with batter slopes certified by an engineer or a drained retaining wall designed by an appropriately qualified person and must be constructed in accordance with condition 11 of planning permit PLN­12­00214 which requires:

 

·       for all permanent cutting or filling up to a height of 1m, cut and fill batters with a height no greater than 1m to be constructed with a batter slope certified by a suitably qualified engineer;

·       where certified batter slopes are not possible, or where cutting and filling will exceed 1m in height, a drained retaining wall designed by suitably qualified engineer constructed to retain the excavation or fill materials as soon as possible after the cut/fill operation;

·       retaining wall drainage to be directed to the Council stormwater drainage system or an approved stormwater disposal system; and

·       retaining wall drainage to be designed to include a graded floor to a trench constructed adjacent to the retaining wall footing. The trench must contain a slotted agricultural pipe wrapped in geotextile filter material and be surrounded by appropriate screened and sized filter materials such as coarse sand or crushed rock. The filter material must be continued from the base of the retaining structure to the top of the retaining structure.

 

·       All surface drainage upslope of site fill must be connected to council approved stormwater system or an approved stormwater management system to divert surface water away from any site fill.

 

Advice: The proposed cuts are considered consistent with The Australian GeoGuides for Slope Management and Maintenance where designed, constructed and certified by a civil engineer and consistent with the other requirements of this permit condition.

 

Reason for condition

 

To reduce the risk to life and property, and the cost to the community, caused by landslides.

10.2    Taxes on Premises Vacant for 6 Months or More

            File Ref: 13-1-10

 

Alderman Cocker

Vancouver and Melbourne have either introduced or in the process of introducing taxes on premises vacant for more than six months. How many premises in the Hobart City Council municipality were vacant for at least six months in 2016? Compared to the previous three years (2013-2015), has the vacancy rate increased in the HCC municipality? It would be appreciated if this could be broken down by number of vacant premises per calendar year.

If the HCC does not have this information, how could this be obtained?

The Director City Planning took the question on notice.
