IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION 16(5) OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT (MEETING PROCEDURES) REGULATIONS 2015
11. Installation of Formal Pedestrian-Priority Crossings
File Ref: F17/50511
Ref: Open CI 7.1, 24/05/2017
Alderman Reynolds
Motion “Council requests a report to identify the city-wide opportunities for the installation of formal pedestrian-priority crossings, to improve both the safety and 'walkability' of our streets, drawing the most recent Austroads Best Practice Guides for pedestrian infrastructure, Australian Road Research Board research and advice from pedestrian organisations.”
|
Rationale:
“There have been a number of recent examples of community campaigns for the installation of pedestrian crossings in neighbourhood shopping streets and around schools in Hobart.
For example in March a number of West Hobart schools conducted a pedestrian count and advocated for formal pedestrian crossings to be included in designs for Hill Street upgrades. In April the South Hobart community collected 400+ signatures in a week calling for a formal pedestrian crossing in Macquarie Street in response to Council designs which had overlooked this community priority.
There is a strong community demand for more pedestrian crossings, and in response to this we need to undertake a more strategic city-wide review of the opportunities for the provision of formal zebra and wombat crossings that provide a legal right of way for pedestrians in key locations.
Decisions about the installation of pedestrian crossings were delegated to local governments in Tasmania in 2015.
In November 2016 Council received advice from Tasmania’s Commissioner for Transport to provide clarity on the guidelines we should use when installing zebra crossings. The advice from the Commissioner indicates that there is a new more accommodating attitude to pedestrian infrastructure by the state government and they support the use of Victoria’s guidelines on the installation of zebra crossings.
These Victorian guidelines (or warrants) indicate that zebra crossings are suitable in one lane each way streets that have a speed limit of 50km/h, vehicle volumes of more than 200 per hour and at least 20 pedestrian movements per hour.
Many Councils around Australia are now also installing slightly raised zebra crossings (known as wombat crossings). These crossings help to reduce vehicle speeds and makes the crossing point level with the footpath. These raised crossings are particularly helpful in areas with a lot of elderly pedestrians as it reduces trips and falls and improves safety.
In 2016 the Australian Road Research Board reported on a review of international literature and a before/after evaluation of 14 wombat crossings on higher traffic volume roads across Victoria identified a 45% reduction in vehicle-pedestrian crashes at these locations.”
The General Manager reports:
“In line with the Council’s policy in relation to Notices of Motion, I advise that the matter is considered to be within the jurisdiction of the Hobart City Council as it relates to improving the safety of pedestrian movements within the City.”
12. Review of the Council's Significant Tree Register
File Ref: F17/45230
Ref: Open PR 7.1, 11/05/2017
Alderman Reynolds
Motion “Council requests that a report be prepared to: Review the Council's Significant Tree Register and provide advice on: · whether the current register should be updated via a new nomination process · whether the assessment criteria for nominations for significant trees should be broadened · whether the nomination process should be updated to reflect best practise for similar exceptional / significant tree policies nationally. · The impact of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme and the Statewide Planning system on the Council's significant tree register and whether trees on the register on private land are protected or not. · Any actions Council may need to consider to protect Council's significant trees under the new statewide planning system. · Whether Council should also consider the introduction of a Tree Management Policy, modelled on the policies of many Councils nationally that protect trees over a certain size or of a certain species on private property. · The report consider options or barriers for Council if it wanted to introduce a broader Tree Management Policy in the context of the Statewide Planning System.”
|
Rationale:
“There have been a number of recent high profile examples of trees being removed and community concern that the tree should have been listed on and protected by Hobart's Register of Significant Trees. These cases have included trees near the Cenotaph, a large Blue Gum on Defence Land in Davey Street and a historically significant Pine Tree.
Hobart's register of Significant Trees is based on a nomination process that was run in 2010. There may be value in opening the register to nominations again or having a permanent portal for nominations to be received at any time, as many Councils have, such as the City of Melbourne, exceptional tree register - see http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/community/parks-open-spaces/tree-protection-management/pages/exceptional-tree-register.aspx
It is also important to review how effective the current significant tree register and provisions will be in the context of the new planning scheme and statewide planning system, as well as consider options available to Council to ensure adequate protection for significant trees. It may be timely to review whether the assessment criteria we use for assessing our significant trees matches similar exceptional tree policies nationally.
Recent correspondence from the Lord Mayor to Mount Nelson residents concerned about the recent removal of significant trees in that area, suggested that the register and current system does not provide protection for listed trees in private gardens.
Many Councils around Australia have a suite of tree policies that includes - street tree strategies, significant tree registers and tree protection and management laws.
A large number of Councils have local laws to protect trees on private land over a certain size, with large canopies or trunk diameter. These policies are designed to promote the good management of vegetation and the protection of biodiversity in cities. Some examples of these policies include:
- Hills Shire
http://www.thehills.nsw.gov.au/Services/Environmental-Management/Trees/Trees-on-Private-Land
- Boroondara Shire - Tree Protection local law
https://www.boroondara.vic.gov.au/our-city/trees/tree-works-permits

The General Manager reports:
“In line with the Council’s policy in relation to Notices of Motion, I advise that the matter is considered to be within the jurisdiction of the Hobart City Council as it relates to a document which is administered by the Council.”
