Prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016, revised plans complying with this requirement to the satisfaction of the Council's Director City Planning must be submitted and approved.

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved revised plans.

Reason for condition

To minimise the visual impact of the building containing the swimming pool upon the heritage place, the heritage precinct and the streetscape.

 

ENG sw4

The development (including hardstand) must be drained to Council infrastructure. The new stormwater connection must be constructed, and any existing connections made redundant must be abandoned and sealed, at the owner's cost prior to the first occupation.

Detailed engineering drawings must be submitted and approved, prior to commencement of work. The detailed engineering drawings must include:

·        the location of the proposed connections and all existing connections;

·        the size and design of the connection such that it is appropriate to safely service the development.

·        long-sections of the proposed connection clearly showing required levels, grade, clearances from any nearby services, cover, size, material and delineation of public and private infrastructure.  Connections must be free-flowing gravity.  

·        no impervious areas capable of reaching the existing northern-most connection may be directed to the new connection or existing southern connections.
 

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved engineering drawings. 


Advice: 
Once the engineering drawing has been approved, the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).  Where building approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation for condition endorsement be submitted well before submitting documentation for building approval. Failure to address condition endorsement requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.

Reason for condition 

To ensure the site is drained adequately.

ENG 1

The cost of repair of any damage to the Council's infrastructure resulting from the implementation of this permit, must be met by the owners within 30 days of the completion of the development or as otherwise determined by the Council.  Any damage must be immediately reported to Council.

A photographic record of the Council’s infrastructure (e.g. existing property service connection points, roads, buildings, stormwater, footpaths, driveway crossovers and nature strips, including if any, pre-existing damage) will be relied upon to establish the extent of damage caused to the Council’s infrastructure during construction. In the event that the owner/developer fails to provide to the Council a photographic record of the Council’s infrastructure, then any damage to the Council's infrastructure found on completion of works will be deemed to be the responsibility of the owner.

Reason for condition

To ensure that any of the Council's infrastructure and/or site-related service connections affected by the proposal will be altered and/or reinstated at the owner’s full cost.

 12.   Major Projects Legislation - Amendments Following Initial Consultation

          File Ref: F18/478; 17/167

Ref:       Open CPC 8.5, 15/01/2018

 

That:     1.      The Tasmanian Government be advised that the City of Hobart sees no need for the draft Bill to amend the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 (LUPAA) and the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 to introduce a new major projects assessment process.

2.      In the event that the Tasmanian Government proceeds with the Land Use Planning and Approvals Amendment (Major Projects) Bill 2017 that the following comments be considered:

(i)      The key issue identified with the Bill is in relation to the eligibility criteria for declaration of major projects and the fact that they are open to a wide interpretation based on the opinion of the Minister.

(ii)     The eligibility criteria uses the term ‘significant’, ‘significance’ or ‘potentially significant’ in relation to 4 of the 5 criteria. The draft Bill does not contain any definition of ‘significant’, leaving these criteria open to wide interpretation.  This creates uncertainty around what is likely to be a major project and there would be benefit in making these criteria more specific in order to provide both project proponents and the wider community with greater certainty.

(iii)    Subsection 60J 2(b) provides that a project warrants declaration as a major project if, in the opinion of the Minister the determination by a planning authority of an application for a permit in relation to the project has been unreasonably delayed. It is not clear why this provision is required given the existing legislative provisions in relation to timeframes for making decisions on permit applications.
