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;

8.5      Major Projects Legislation - Amendments Following Initial Consultation

That the recommendation contained in the report of the Manager Planning Policy & Heritage and  Director City Planning of 4 January 2018, be adopted.

MOTION CARRIED

VOTING RECORD

COMMITTEE RESOLUTION:

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.
