A pre works CCTV video of the existing Council stormwater main within the subject site (including right of way) must be undertaken and submitted to the Council prior to the commencement of work (including demolition).

 

Reason for condition

 

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

 

ENG sw2.2

 

Recorded CCTV inspections and associated reports of the new public stormwater infrastructure and any other public stormwater within 2m of the works must be undertaken and submitted to the Council:

 

1.     Prior to commencement of the maintenance period; and

 

2.     Within 30 days of completion of works.

 

The CCTV inspection must be taken no more than one month prior to commencement of the maintenance period. A maintenance period of 12 months will apply to the new pipes. The Council will perform a final inspection at the end of the maintenance period. Should any rectification works be required, these must be done at the owner's cost within a time frame specified by the Council, and an additional 12 month maintenance period may be applied.

 

 

 

 

 

The post construction CCTV 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 pre­construction CCTV video of the Council’s infrastructure, then any damage to the Council's infrastructure identified in the post construction CCTV will be deemed to be the responsibility of the owner.

 

Advice: The CCTVs may be combined by delaying commencement of the maintenance period.

 

A maintenance bond of 5% of the contract value of the works will be required by the Council. Upon the expiry of the maintenance period, please contact the Council’s Project and Development Inspector on telephone 6238 2967 to arrange the final inspection prior to the release of the maintenance bond.

The proposed works (including footings, carpark, ramps, overhangs) within two metres of the Council's stormwater infrastructure, must be designed to ensure the long term protection of and access to the Council’s stormwater infrastructure.

 

A detailed engineering design must be submitted and approved prior to issue of any consent under the Building Act 2016 or commencement of works (whichever occurs first but excluding demolition).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The detailed design must:

 

1.    Demonstrate how the design will maintain the overland flow path, provide adequate access to the main, impose no additional loads onto the main and that the structure will be fully independent of the main and its trenching. Adequate access is defined for this project as a minimum 2.8m vertical clearance within a 3m wide corridor, with no columns or footings within one metre of the outside of the pipe. Reduction in this access requirement is possible for the removable ramp, and wall at the boundary with adequate structural bridging.

 

2.    Include details of how the ramp is removed and reinstated, and sufficient protection for the new main within the right of way to allow excavation to gain full access into the site.

 

3.    Include cross­sections clearly showing the relationship both vertically and horizontally between Council’s stormwater infrastructure and the proposed works (including footings), and stating the minimum setbacks from the works to the nearest external surface of the main.

 

4.    Include a long­section of Council's stormwater main clearly showing proposed cover. If the cover is less than 600mm, engineering details and full calculations to relevant Australian Standards (including construction traffic loading) must be submitted to demonstrate the mains can withstand the likely forces and will be adequately protected. All assumptions must be stated.

 

5.    Be certified by a suitably qualified engineer.

 

Prior to first occupation / the issue of any Completion Certificate under the Building Act 2016 / the commencement of the maintenance period (whichever occurs first), confirmation from a suitably qualified engineer must be provided to the Council that the installation of the works within two metres of the Council’s stormwater is in accordance with the approved drawings and complies with this condition. Should any remediation works be required, these must be carried out at the developer’s cost.

 

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved detailed design.

 

Advice: Once the detailed design 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 protection of the Council’s hydraulic infrastructure.

 

ENG sw5

 

The development (including hardstand) must be drained to the Council's stormwater infrastructure with sufficient receiving capacity, in a safe and legal manner through to Collins Street. The upgraded public stormwater system must be constructed prior to issue of any Completion Certificate under the Building Act 2016.

 

Engineering design drawings must be submitted and approved, prior to commencement of work or the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016 (whichever occurs first but excluding demolition). The engineering design drawings must:

 

1.    Be certified by a qualified and experienced engineer.

3.    Include adequate protection works where minimum cover cannot be achieved.

 

4.    Include the associated calculations and catchment area plans. The stormwater system (including defined non­blocked overland flow paths) must cater for all 1% AEP flows as at 2100 (i.e. including climate change loading) from a fully developed catchment. The main itself must be sized to accommodate at least the 5% AEP flows from a fully­developed catchment.

 

5.    Identify all existing third­party connections to the mains to be upgraded and reconnected at the owner's cost.

 

6.    Clearly distinguish between public and private infrastructure.

 

7.    Be substantially in accordance with the LGAT Standard Drawings and Tasmanian Subdivision Guidelines.

 

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

 

Advice: Once the engineering design drawings have 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.

 

Please note that once the condition endorsement has been issued you will need to contact Council’s City Infrastructure Division to obtain a Permit to Construct Public Infrastructure. A maintenance period of 12 months and 5% maintenance bond will apply.

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.

Proposal:                       Partial Demolition, Alterations and Extension

Expiry Date:                   23 March 2018

Extension of Time:       Not applicable

Author:                           Tristan Widdowson

 

 

REcommendation

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 and a permit containing the following conditions be issued:

GEN

The use and/or development must be substantially in accordance with the documents and drawings that comprise PLN­18­13 186 MELVILLE STREET WEST HOBART TAS 7000 ­ Final Planning Documents except where modified below.

Reason for condition

To clarify the scope of the permit.

PLN s1

The visitor accommodation use approved under PLN­14­00827­01 is for the existing building only and does not extend to the extension approved by this permit.

 

Advice: The use of the proposed completed building for visitor accommodation will require subsequent planning approval or its use to be compliant with the State Government's exemption for visitor accommodation in the Interim Planning Directive No. 2. More information on visitor accommodation can be found here.

Reason for condition

To clarify the scope of the permit.

PLN s4

The proposed extension must comply with the permitted building envelope as required under Part D 11.4.2 A3(a) and diagram 11.4.2B of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015.

 

Prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016, revised plans must be submitted and approved showing the proposed extension within the permitted building envelope in accordance with the above requirement.

 

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

 

Advice: The plans of the amended proposal submitted to the Council on 23/2/2018 showing the building contained with the permitted building envelope would be considered to satisfy this condition.

Reason for condition

In the interest of minimising the potential impact on amenity of the proposed additions on the adjoining property at 184 Melville Street.

ENG 4

The driveway, carparking and manoeuvring areas approved by this permit must be constructed to a sealed standard (spray seal, asphalt, concrete, pavers or equivalent council approved) and surface drained to the Council's stormwater infrastructure prior to the first occupation/new use.

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of users of the access driveway and parking module, and that it does not detract from the amenity of users, adjoining occupiers or the environment by preventing dust, mud and sediment transport.

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.

 

A photographic record of the Council's infrastructure adjacent to the subject site must be provided to the Council prior to any commencement of works.

 

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, pre­existing 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 site­related service connections affected by the proposal will be altered and/or reinstated at the owner’s full cost.

ENV 1

Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to prevent sediment from leaving the site must be installed prior to any disturbance of the site, and maintained until all areas of disturbance have been stabilized or re­vegetated.

Prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016, revised plans must be submitted and approved showing exterior colours and materials in accordance with the above requirement.

 

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

Reason for condition

To ensure that development at a heritage place and precinct is undertaken in a sympathetic manner which does not cause loss of historic cultural heritage significance.

HER s4

The proposed pyramidal roof form of the rear extension must be amended to be a 20 degree pitched gable roof, and have an overall height reduction of one (1) metre. 

 

Prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016, revised plans must be submitted and approved showing the amended roof pitch and form, and reduced height, in accordance with the above requirement.

 

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

 

Advice: The plans of the amended proposal submitted to the Council on 23/2/2018 showing the pitched gabled roof pitch and form and reduced height would be considered to satisfy this condition.

 

Reason for condition

 

In the interest of the heritage values of the place and precinct.

7.1.3   29 Browne Street, West Hobart - Partial Demolition, Alterations and Extension

            pln-17-1052 - FILE REF: F18/20112

Address:                         29 Browne Street, West Hobart

Proposal:                       Partial Demolition, Alterations and Extension

Expiry Date:                   20 March 2018

Extension of Time:       Not applicable

Author:                           Tristan Widdowson

 

 

REcommendation

That:   Pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for partial demolition, alterations and extension at 29 Browne Street, West Hobart for the following reasons:

 

1     The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.1 A1/P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed demolition of the traditional rear roof form would lead to an unacceptable loss of heritage cultural values of the site without demonstrating that there are greater values to the community than the historic cultural heritage values of the Listed Place or that there are no feasible and prudent alternatives.

        

2     The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 A1/P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed development by reason of its form, scale, bulk and materials would result in a loss of historic cultural significance of this heritage Listed Place.

        

3     The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 A2/P2 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed roof addition, by reason of its form, scale, bulk and materials would fail to be suitably subservient and complementary to the original house and would have a detrimental impact upon the historic cultural significance of this heritage Listed Place.

        

4     The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 A3/P3 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed roof addition fails to respond to the dominant heritage characteristics of this heritage Listed Place.

 

5     The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 A4/P4 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed roof addition will detract from the historic cultural significance of this heritage Listed Place

            PLN-17-1068 - FILE REF: F18/21597

Address:                         5 St Georges Terrace, Battery Point

Proposal:                       Partial Demolition, Alterations, Extension and Fencing

Expiry Date:                   20 March 2018

Extension of Time:       Not applicable

Author:                           Tristan Widdowson

 

 

REcommendation

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.

REPORT TITLE:                  Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 - Planning Scheme Amendment PSA-18-1 - 2 Churchill Avenue, Sandy Bay

REPORT PROVIDED BY:  Development Appraisal Planner

Manager Planning Policy & Heritage

 

1.         Report Purpose and Community Benefit

1.1.     The purpose of this report is to consider an application under the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 (LUPAA), from All Urban Planning on behalf of the University of Tasmania to amend the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 (HIPS 2015) by rezoning part of the property at 2 Churchill Avenue from Particular Purpose Zone 3 – University of Tasmania (Sandy Bay Campus) to Low Density Residential.

1.2.     The proposal benefits the community by ensuring that the land is appropriately zoned and that the site and buildings are able to be appropriately utilised given its low density residential setting and appearance.

2.         Report Summary

2.1.     The proposal is to rezone part of the site at 2 Churchill Avenue, Sandy Bay from Particular Purpose Zone 3 – University of Tasmania (Sandy Bay Campus) to Low Density Residential. This rezoning is intended to allow for divestment of surplus University assets.

2.2.     The applicant’s submission in support of the amendment is provided in Attachment A.

2.3.     The area affected by the proposed amendment is located in the Upper Campus of the University of Tasmania adjacent to Bend 7 on Nelson Road. The site contains seven existing dwellings currently used for student accommodation as well as associated car parking and bushfire hazard management areas.

2.4.     The site is adjacent to low density residential development and a water tank to the east and native vegetation on the remainder of the Upper Campus of the University of Tasmania to the west. The site is also in close proximity to Mount Nelson Primary School and sits at the top of a walking track beside the Nelson Road Bends.

2.5.     The proposed amendments follow recent Urgent Amendment HOBUA27-2016 to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 approved by the Tasmanian Planning Commission on 8 March 2017. These amendments acknowledged that:

2.5.1.     The upper campus is an area in transition as the University divests itself of redundant assets; and

2.5.2.     Future use and development of the Upper Campus will be reviewed and subject to further applications for amendments to the planning scheme.

2.6.     This proposal is the second such amendment and will allow for the divestment of redundant assets by allowing for the sale of surplus accommodation buildings for residential use without unreasonable impacting on the amenity of surrounding residential areas or the strategic planning objectives for Greater Hobart.

2.7.     The proposed amendment to rezone part of the Particular Purpose Zone 3 – University of Tasmania (Sandy Bay Campus) to Low Density Residential is considered to be an appropriate amendment to the HIPS 2015 and is recommended for initiation.

3.         Recommendation

That:

1.      Pursuant to Section 34(1) (a) of the former provisions of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993, the Council resolve to initiate an amendment to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 to amend the Particular Purpose Zone 3 – University of Tasmania (Sandy Bay Campus), as detailed in Attachment B.

2.      Pursuant to Section 35 of the former provisions of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993, the Council certify that the amendment to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 PSA-18-1 meets the requirements of Section 32 of the former provisions of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 and authorise the General Manager and the Deputy General Manager to sign the Instrument of Certification (Attachment C).

3.      Pursuant to Section 38 of the former provisions of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993, the Council place Amendment PSA18-1 to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 on public exhibition for a 28 day period following certification.

 

 

4.         Background

4.1.     The University of Tasmania lodged a representation in 2015 in relation to the HIPS 2015 exhibition highlighting concerns with a number of the provisions in the Particular Purpose Zone 3 – University of Tasmania (Sandy Bay Campus).


 

4.2.     The Tasmanian Planning Commission subsequently made urgent amendment UA27-2016, which included some modifications to the zone provisions to accommodate the change in strategic direction identified by the University. This urgent amendment came into effect on 8 March 2017.

4.3.     Specifically, the amendments to the Scheme standards were as follows:

4.3.1.     Modification of the Biodiversity Code mapping to more accurately represent the natural values present on site.

4.3.2.     Amending the zone purpose to better reflect the changing needs of the University of Tasmania and acknowledging that the Upper Campus is an area in transition as the University divests itself of redundant assets.

4.3.3.     Acknowledging that the future use and development of the Upper Campus will be reviewed and subject to further applications for amendments to the Planning Scheme.

4.3.4.     Removing the significance of and desire for connectivity between the upper and lower sections of the site.

4.4.     In July 2017, the Council initiated amendment PSA-17-1 to modify the status of certain uses and the addition of performance criteria to guide commercial development on the University site.  This amendment was intended to facilitate the change of use of redundant buildings. The amendment is currently awaiting a decision from the Tasmanian Planning Commission.

Existing Situation

4.5.     The land subject to the proposed rezoning is in the upper campus section of the University of Tasmania within the Particular Purpose Zone 3 – University of Tasmania (Sandy Bay Campus) (Figure 1).

4.6.     The site contains seven existing dwellings currently used for student accommodation as well as associated car parking and bushfire hazard management areas. Within the larger lot, the subject site is surrounded by native bushland which to the west slopes relatively steeply down towards Rifle Range Creek. Land to the east of the subject site is zoned Low Density Residential and contains single and multiple dwellings, generally on relatively large lots as well as a water tank and Mount Nelson Primary School.

Figure 1: the subject site, part of 2 Churchill Avenue (outlined in red) showing existing zoning whereby the darker yellow is Particular Purpose Zone 3 – University of Tasmania (Sandy Bay Campus) and pink is Low Density Residential.

Planning Scheme Provisions

4.7.     The Zone Purpose Statements for the Particular Purpose Zone 3 – University of Tasmania (Sandy Bay Campus) are:

To provide for the continued development of the University of Tasmania Sandy Bay campus (UTAS Sandy Bay) as a major tertiary education centre of the state.

To provide for a diversity of activities primarily catering for the education, recreation and entertainment of its student population while also encouraging a closer integration with the community.


 

 

4.8.     Within the Particular Purpose Zone 3 – University of Tasmania (Sandy Bay Campus), most uses are qualified so that they must be associated with the University, staff, students and visitors. The only exceptions to this being uses that would complement the University. For example, residential use is permitted only if for student or staff accommodation, residential uses not associated with the University are discretionary. Other permitted uses include community meeting and entertainment, educational and occasional care, research and development, sport and recreation. Other discretionary uses include; hotel industry, tourist operation, and visitor accommodation.

4.9.     There are a limited number of use standards that control the impact of uses in the Particular Purpose Zone 3 – University of Tasmania (Sandy Bay Campus) where they are in proximity to a residential zone. Development standards generally relate to hours of operation for take away food premises, noise emissions and external lighting.

4.10.   The Zone Purpose Statements for the Low Density Residential Zone are:

To provide for residential use or development on larger lots in residential areas where there are infrastructure or environmental constraints that limit development.

To provide for non-residential uses that are compatible with residential amenity.

To encourage residential development that respects the neighbourhood character.

To provide a high standard of residential amenity.

To ensure that development respects the natural and conservation values of the land and is designed to mitigate any visual impacts of development on public views.

4.11.   Within the Low Density Residential Zone, single dwellings are a no permit required use, and other residential use classes and visitor accommodation are permitted. Some non-residential uses such as community meeting and entertainment, educational and occasional care, emergency services and sport and recreation are discretionary.

4.12.   Use standards and development standards within the Low Density Residential Zone are aimed towards protecting residential amenity.


 

5.         Proposal and Implementation

5.1.     The proposal is to rezone part of the site at 2 Churchill Avenue, Sandy Bay from Particular Purpose Zone 3 – University of Tasmania (Sandy Bay Campus) to Low Density Residential. This rezoning is intended to allow for divestment of surplus assets, specifically to enable the sale of seven accommodation units beside Bend 7 on Nelson Road for residential use. The area proposed to be rezoned is shown in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2: the subject site, part of 2 Churchill Avenue (outlined in red) showing the area proposed to be re-zoned from Particular Purpose 3 – University of Tasmania (Sandy Bay Campus) to Low Density Residential outlined in red.

Justification – Applicant’s Submission

5.2.     The applicant considers that the requested amendment is justified for the following reasons:

5.2.1.     The proposal will provide for appropriate reuse and development of the student accommodation villas that are surplus to the University’s requirements. It is underpinned by sound property asset planning by the University and the preceding Urgent Amendments to the Planning Scheme.

5.2.2.     The University’s intention to divest of surplus assets in the Upper Campus was foreshadowed in previous submissions during the preparation of the planning scheme. Further opportunity for public input will be available through the notification of the amendment.

5.2.3.     The proposal represents consolidated urban development in a manner that provides for increased services and enhanced liveability. It will facilitate economic development outcomes.

5.2.4.     The proposal follows detailed property planning by the University and is an appropriate strategic response now that the villas have been identified as surplus to the needs of the University. The proposal to realign the boundary with the Low Density Residential Zone is consistent with the surrounding use and development and is strategically sound.

5.2.5.     The proposed zoning is appropriate and will provide certainty of the land use planning controls for future owners of the land and the community.

5.2.6.     The proposal will assist reuse of existing housing stock close to surrounding services and the recreational environment of the university reserve.

5.2.7.     The amendment will allow for the efficient use of existing public sewer, water, stormwater, road, electrical and telecommunications infrastructure in the vicinity of this urban site as well as the reuse of existing buildings.

5.2.8.     The amendment promotes the objectives for sustainable development of land through allowing for the ongoing use of existing significant buildings and urban land that is surplus to the needs of the University. The proposal will not affect the existing biodiversity protection provisions under the zone and Biodiversity Code of the planning scheme and the integrity of the reserve will therefore not be impeded.

Justification Comment

5.3.     The applicant has submitted some valid reasons in support of the proposed rezoning.

5.4.     The subject site is located towards the top of the upper campus beside Bend 7 on Nelson Road. This location separates the exiting dwelling units visually and geographically from the main university campus. Consequently the site has the appearance of a low density multiple dwelling development rather than student accommodation.

5.5.     The site is currently used as student accommodation. However, the pattern of development on the site consists of seven detached dwellings with the only shared facility being car parking. As such, it is considered that the existing use of the site is not substantially different to a multiple dwelling use and accordingly, a change in zone to Low Density Residential would not cause conflict with the adjoining residential area.

5.6.     The subject site is well located in terms of access to transport, passive recreation and services such as Mount Nelson Primary School. It is considered a good example of a site which would be suitable for low density residential development.

5.7.     Existing development on the site consists of single storey dwellings clustered close to the frontage to Nelson Road and the car parking area, with setbacks greater than 25m from the proposed zone boundary.  The buildings would comply with the height and the side and rear boundary setbacks of the building envelope under clause 12.4.2.A. The north-eastern dwelling would have a setback of approximately 3.7m from the front boundary to Nelson Road. The permitted front boundary setback in the Low Density Residential Zone is 4.5m and in the Particular Purpose Zone – University of Tasmania is 10m in the upper campus. Therefore, whilst the building would still not be in compliance with the front boundary setback it would be closer to the permitted standard than with the existing zone and would not be unreasonably out of character with other development in the area.

5.8.     The area proposed for rezoning would have a size of 1.253ha and a frontage of about 50m to Nelson Road. With the seven existing dwellings there would be a site area of 1790m2 per dwelling which complies with the permitted density of not less than 1500m2.  It would also be possible to construct an eighth dwelling on the site and still comply with the permitted density provisions. It may be possible to increase the density beyond this, however this would be at the discretion of the Council following assessment against the performance criteria.


 

5.9.     The subdivision standards for the Low Density Residential Zone allow a minimum lot size of 1000m2. As such, with an area of 1.253ha it would be possible to subdivide the lot into 12 separate lots. Whilst the actual number of lots may be constrained by other considerations such as access, bushfire management and biodiversity values, it is considered that such development would not be unreasonable and would be similar to the collection of lots at the Bend 6 corner of Nelson Road.

5.10.   The proposed amendment includes the area required for bushfire management of the existing development. With rezoning of the area and subsequent subdivision and sale of the land there is the potential for further development of the site, and thus changing the bushfire management requirements which could lead to impacts on the remainder of the Upper Campus. However such development would require assessment against the Planning Scheme and Building Code and if involving the adjoining land, the consent of the owner of the land and the imposition of a Part Five Agreement on the title.

5.11.   The existing buildings are serviced with sewer, water and stormwater infrastructure as well as vehicle access. As such, it is considered that the site is suitable to support residential development and there are no engineering concerns. Servicing requirements of future development and/or subdivision will be addressed through an application for a planning permit.

5.12.   The Council’s Environmental Development Planner has advised that the Bushfire Hazard Management Plan complies with section 51(2)(d)(i) of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993. Furthermore, whilst the site is subject to the Biodiversity Code under the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, any clearing would be associated with bushfire hazard management and as such exempt. Accordingly there were no objections to the proposed rezoning.

6.         Strategic Planning and Policy Considerations

6.1.     The proposed amendment is consistent with the objectives of the Capital City Strategic Plan 2015-2025 in regard to the Strategic Objective 2.3 – ‘City and regional planning ensures quality design, meets community needs and maintains residential amenity’.

7.         Financial Implications

7.1.     The proposed planning scheme amendment should not result in any additional significant Council expenditure.

8.         Legal, Risk and Legislative Considerations

8.1.     The Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 (LUPAA) requires that planning scheme amendments must seek to further the objectives of Schedule 1 of the Act and be prepared in accordance with State Policies.

8.2.     The objectives of the Act require use and development to occur in a fair, orderly and sustainable manner and for the planning process to facilitate economic development in accordance with the other Schedule 1 Objectives.

8.3.     It is considered that the proposed amendment meets the objectives of LUPAA, in particular it:

8.3.1.     Assists sound strategic planning by not prejudicing the achievements of the relevant Zone Objectives or the STRLUS objectives;

8.3.2.     It is consistent with the objective to establish a system of planning instruments to be the principal way of setting objectives, policies and controls for the use, development and protection of land;

8.3.3.     Provides greater flexibility to address changes in local environmental, social and economic circumstances;

8.3.4.     Allows for a more efficient use of the existing infrastructure and facilities;

8.3.5.     Facilitates the integration of compatible and complementary land use activities in a managed and save environment;

8.3.6.     Provides for the exercise of greater flexibility to fully consider the capability of the land.

8.4.     The relevant State Policy to consider in this case is the State Policy on Water Quality Management. It is considered that the proposed amendment is consistent with the objectives of this policy as the site is connected to existing stormwater infrastructure. The size of land proposed for rezoning will also allow for stormwater treatment for potential future development of the site to improve the quality of stormwater runoff.

8.5.     S32(e) of the former provisions of LUPAA requires that planning scheme amendments must avoid the potential for land use conflicts in adjacent planning scheme areas. The amendment essentially relocates the boundary of the Low Density Residential Zone to encompass the existing residential portion of the upper campus of the University of Tasmania. This area, when utilised for residential use will reflect the existing pattern of development in the adjoining Low Density Residential Zone.

8.6.     S32(f) of the former provisions of LUPAA requires that planning scheme amendments must have regard to the impact that the use and development permissible under the amendment will have on the use and development of the region as an entity in environmental, economic and social terms. The size, location and configuration of the land as well as the existing use of the land proposed for rezoning is such that it will not have any regional implications.

8.7.     Section 30O of LUPAA requires that an amendment to an interim planning scheme is as far as practicable consistent with the regional land use strategy. The proposed amendment would not significantly change the existing use of the site and as such would not conflict with the strategic directions of the Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy.

9.         Environmental Considerations

9.1.     The site of the proposed amendment is subject to the Biodiversity Code in the HIPS 2015. As such identified environmental values are protected. It is not intended to amend the overlay, therefore the change in zone will not alter or override this. The proposed reuse of the existing buildings and fire management area is considered a sustainable outcome for both the site, and the broader area as it provides opportunities for ongoing use and development of the site without encroaching further into areas of conservation significance.

9.2.     The inclusion of the existing bushfire management area within the land to be rezoned would also protect environmental values of the larger site by containing vegetation management for bushfire hazard clearing to land zoned Low Density Residential.

10.      Social and Customer Considerations

10.1.   The proposal is not considered to have any negative impact on social inclusion.

11.      Marketing and Media

11.1.   There are no marketing or branding implications of this amendment.

12.      Community and Stakeholder Engagement

12.1.   The Council has requested that reports which recommended the initiation of planning scheme amendments address the need to conduct a public meeting or forum to explain the proposed amendments and also outline the explanatory information to be made available. These are addressed below:

12.1.1.  It is not considered that a public forum is necessary to explain the proposed amendment to the public as it is relatively simple and self-explanatory.

12.1.2.  The following information will be made available on the website: a copy of this report, a copy of the formal amendment document and the applicant’s submission.

13.      Delegation

13.1.   Delegation rests with the Council.

 

As signatory to this report, I certify that, pursuant to Section 55(1) of the Local Government Act 1993, I hold no interest, as referred to in Section 49 of the Local Government Act 1993, in matters contained in this report.
