Reason for condition
To avoid the pollution and sedimentation of roads, drains and natural watercourses that could be caused by erosion and runoff from the development. ENV s1Prior to the commencement of works, the potential slope failures on the access road discussed in section 6 of the Rock Face Hazard Assessment by GHD dated September 2015 must be investigated and assessed by a suitably qualified person, to determine if remedial works are necessary to ensure a tolerable level of risk to persons involved in the development works.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION 16(5) OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT (MEETING PROCEDURES) REGULATIONS 2015
That in accordance with Council’s policy, the following Notice of Motion considered at a meeting of the City Planning Committee on 30 October 2017, be considered by the Council.
12. Re-Appointment of a State Architect
File Ref: F17/143451; 13-1-9
Ref: Open CPC 9.1, 30/10/2017
Alderman Helen Burnet
Motion: “That in the interest of good design for our city, region and state, the Council call upon the state government to reinstate the position of State Architect.”
|
Rationale:
“There is
a government architect in each Australian state, with the exception of
Tasmania. According to Wikipedia, citing the Government Architects’
Network Australia, “although their role differs from state to
state, it generally includes the general objective to improve the design of
public buildings and spaces and to enhance the quality of the built
environment.”
The position of State Architect was held by Peter Poulet from 2009-January
2012. On his resignation to take up the position of State Architect for New
South Wales, the position was not filled and then later abolished by the
Liberal Hodgman government when they were elected.
During his tenure as Tasmanian State Architect, Peter Poulet produced three
documents which were particularly relevant to Hobart. The Draft
Sullivan’s Cove Plan was an important blueprint for much of the
development that has occurred around Sullivan’s Cove. http://www.stors.tas.gov.au/au-7-0023-00221$tv
the Hobart capital city plan 2011-2040, and Liveability development principles
(draft) http://www.stors.tas.gov.au/au-7-0095-05609
Currently there is much that needs to occur to ensure good planning and design
for our city, region and state. The need for oversight of outcomes that provide
good public infrastructure as part of other development should not be
underestimated.
Without a State Architect, there is no clear coordination of these things which
shape our future. The use of roads, and the River to accommodate transport
options, designing for schools, car free areas, public spaces, catering for
shifting demographics with the university’s greater presence in the city,
are complex aspects of our city and regions that should be properly considered
and designed.
The Minister for Planning introduced the Tasmanian Planning System, which is
still being implemented, there has been significant public concern about
building heights in Hobart, Macquarie Point has not been effectively developed,
and there is an unprecedented amount of housing and commercial development
across the state.
There has been a void in coordination and strategic direction. At this critical
point in Tasmania’s land use, with so many pressures from interests, it
is s time to reinstate the position of state architect to apply high level
strategic thinking to the issues that Tasmania needs to ensure are
sustainable.”
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 planning in general and the Council’s role as a Planning Authority.”
