INTERPRETATION

The Applicant is strongly encouraged (in collaboration with the City of Hobart) to incorporate appropriate publicly accessible interpretation into the development which reflects the history of the site and its surrounds.

URBAN DESIGN ADVISORY PANEL

You are strongly encouraged to implement the following considerations arising from the Urban Design Advisory Panel meeting of 9 February 2018:

1.    The relationship with the heritage building to the south would be improved if rooms 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 were omitted, to reduce the height of the vertical element closest to the heritage building, and further break up its massing.

2.    A landscaping plan (hard and soft) should be prepared (by a suitably qualified professional) and implemented, including a large tree to assist in breaking the massing of the proposed building along the (southern) boundary with the heritage site.

3.    Appropriate lighting, green walls and outdoor heating should be installed to help activate the ground level communal space on the south west side of the building, as well as locating seats and tables closer to the outer edges of the building for sitting/using in morning/afternoon sun to make this space more inviting for patronage.

That:   Pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council approve the application for partial demolition, alterations and extension at 186 Melville Street, West Hobart for the reasons outlined in the officer’s report, attached to item 7.1.2 of the Open City Planning Committee agenda of 13 March 2018, and a permit containing the following conditions be issued:

That:   Pursuant to section 39(10) of the Historic Cultural Heritage Act 1995 the Hobart City Council must refuse the application for partial demolition, alterations, extension and fencing at 5 St Georges Terrace Battery Point, because pursuant to section 39(6)(c) of that Act the Tasmanian Heritage Council has given notice (THC Application 5507, dated 21 February 2018) that the discretionary permit must be refused. The Tasmanian Heritage Council refused the application for the following reason:

1.    The development proposal is considered to be incompatible with the place’s historic cultural heritage significance due to the extent of the proposed demolition work and the unsympathetic bulk, scale and form of the proposed additions.

That:   Pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for partial demolition, alterations, extension and fencing at 5 St Georges Terrace Battery Point for partial demolition, alterations, extension and fencing for the following reasons:

1.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution A1 or the performance criterion P1 with respect to clause E13.7.1 Demolition of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed demolition would result in the loss of significant fabric and forms from the early 1880s that contribute to the historic cultural heritage significance of the place.

2.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution A1 or the performance criterion P1 with respect to clause E13.7.2 Buildings and Works other than Demolition of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed incompatible design, including height, scale, bulk, form and fenestration patterns, will result in the loss of historic cultural heritage significance of the place.

3.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution A2 or the performance criterion P2 with respect to clause E13.7.2 Buildings and Works other than Demolition of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed rear extension is not subservient and complementary to the place because of its scale and bulk, built form and fenestration patterns.

4.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution A4 or the performance criterion P4 with respect to clause E13.7.2 Buildings and Works other than Demolition of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed rear extension is not sympathetic to the main house and detracts from the historic cultural heritage significance of the place.

5.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution A1 or the performance criterion P1 with respect to clause E13.8.1 Demolition of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed demolition would result in the loss of early 1880s buildings and works that contribute to the historic cultural heritage significance of the Battery Point Heritage Precinct.

6.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution A1 or the performance criterion P1 with respect to clause E13.8.2 Buildings and Works other than Demolition of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the design and siting of the proposed buildings and works is unsympathetic and would result in detriment to the historic cultural heritage significance of the Battery Point 1 Heritage Precinct.

7.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution A3 or the performance criterion P3 with respect to clause E13.8.2 Buildings and Works other than Demolition of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed extension is unsympathetic and would detract from the historic cultural heritage significance of the Battery Point Heritage Precinct.

8.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution A3 or the performance criterion P3 with respect to clause E13.8.4 Buildings and Works in Heritage Precinct BP1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the height of the proposed development would detract from the pattern of development that is characteristic of the cultural heritage significance of the Battery Point 1 Heritage Precinct in the vicinity of the site.

2.3.     The Minister for State Growth has publically stated that the Authority will be managed by the Wellington Park Management Trust (the Trust) and we have the Trust then stating that its role is simply to put up some signs and a notice on its website. The City of Hobart as landowner is saying it doesn’t have any control over the permit? Who has control?

2.4.     The public have a right to be given sufficient notification of the exact location, timing and extent of vegetation clearance requirements. Particularly given that the area contains so many public trails and there will be an impact on public access and commercial operators, eg. North South Track and the main kunanyi/Mount Wellington Road.  Will notification occur?

2.8.     Who will manage and monitor on ground operations including rehabilitation following vegetation removal at the sites where drilling will take place?

2.7.     Should damage occur to City-owned land, who compensates the City?

2.9.     Does the City have an indication of the scale of the proposed investigative works?

2.10.   Officers indicated that meetings are/will occur between the proponent, the Trust and the Department of State Growth at which a City Officer may at times be an observer. Will the City be provided with copies of the minutes of these meetings?

3.    Further information be provided in respect to the Hobart City Council’s jurisdiction over private land in regards to a Cable Car development.

That:   1.    The Springs Visitor Centre Concept, as outlined in the feasibility study report dated 26 February 2018 and marked as Attachment A to item 4.1 of the Closed Parks and Recreation Committee agenda of 8 March 2018, be supported and approval be provided for the concept to be further progressed to the next stage (investment phase).

(i)        Completion of a transport and access plan to ensure sufficient number of patrons can access the proposed hub;

(ii)       Confirming a feasible approach to managing bushfire risk to the proposed Visitor Centre development;

(iv)      Further investigations into the potential financial implications for the proposed Springs Visitor Centre if a cable car were to be built.

3.    The costs associated with the work to progress the concept to the Investment Phase, to be capped at a maximum of $100,000, be considered in the third quarter review of the City’s 2017/2018 budget.

4.    The Wellington Park Management Trust be advised of the Springs Visitor Centre Concept for the purpose of ensuring the proposal can be accommodated within the revised Springs Master Plan.
