Motions of which notice has been given

 

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 which was adopted by the Finance and Governance Committee , be considered by the Council.

12.      Tax for Vacant or Unused Residential/Housing Accommodation

            File Ref: F18/25180; 13-1-9

Ref:    Open FGC 7.1, 17/04/2018

Alderman Zucco

Motion

“That an urgent report be prepared that considers a rate or tax that maybe implemented for approved but vacant and unused residential/housing accommodation in the city of Hobart, and that the report will include the findings from any previous reports prepared by Council officers on the matter.

 

That the report also consider writing to the State Government to also consider a vacant land tax similar to the Victorian model and raising the issue with the Local Government Association of Tasmania.”

 

Rationale:

 

“The Victorian State government has recently implemented a vacant land tax rate for properties that remain unused for a period of 6 months in any one year.

 

It is detrimental to the city to have vacant residential accommodation within the City in particular when there is a shortage of rental accommodation.

 

Even though the State government has made reference that it has no intentions to introduce a "vacant land tax" on similar lines to Victoria, it has plans to introduce a "Stamp duty" tax for overseas investors, which in itself is a tax on overseas investors.”

 

 

The Acting 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 the City of Hobart, Social Inclusion Strategy 2014-2019.”
