4.       Notification of Council Workshops

 

In accordance with the requirements of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the General Manager reports that no Council workshops have been conducted since the last ordinary meeting of the Council.

 

 

5.       Public Question Time

 

5.1      Mr Paul Daniels

 

Mr Paul Daniels put the following questions and was provided with the corresponding response from the Lord Mayor on behalf of the Council.

 

Questions:

 

How will adoption of a second name, not dilute the cultural heritage of all of the previous generations of peoples that built the City of Hobart?

 

Given that reconciliation requires a recognition of a shared past.  Acknowledgment of the trails and experiences of us all and a plan to how, as a community, we can proceed into the future. How does the dual naming of something that we have built together, do anything but divide us?

 

What community consultation process does the council envision before proceeding with re-branding our unique cultural heritage, by dual naming?

 

 

Response:

 

In response to your questions, on Wednesday 30 May 2018, Aldermen and Staff from the City of Hobart were invited to a ‘Sharing Ceremony’ at the Tasmanian Aboriginal Corporation during Reconciliation Week where a plaque representing an Aboriginal name for Hobart, nipaluna was presented to me as Lord Mayor of Hobart.  Subsequently, at the Council meeting on 4 June I formally presented the plaque with the name nipaluna to the Council.

 

The Council has not formally considered this matter or adopted any policy on Aboriginal dual naming or indeed the use of the nipaluna name.

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.

 

SURV 1

 

The applicant must submit to the Council a copy of the surveyor’s survey notes at the time of lodging the final plan.

 

Reason for condition

 

To enable the Council to accurately update cadastral layers on the corporate Geographic Information System.

 

SURV 2

 

The final plan and schedule of easements must be submitted and approved in accordance with section 89 of the Local Government (Building & Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1993.

2.       Over any existing or proposed private drainage and/or service easements in favour of the lots they are required to serve.

 

Advice: The schedule of easements must not include an easement of support in favour of lot 3 over lot 2 beneath or the land adjacent. Only a temporary support licence in favour of 57 Elizabeth Street over the Council's rivulet land below would be considered by the Council. Any future redevelopment of lot 3 must be cantilevered over lot 2 below.

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure that there are no impediments to the provision of public and private services to the lots.

SURV 9

 

Any lots on the final plan created from the addition of sub minimal lots on the plan of subdivision are to be notated on the final plan.

1.       Indemnify the Council against any costs or claims arising from building over and within one metre of the Hobart Rivulet and its historic route, or for damages incurred in the act of performing operation, maintenance, or replacement tasks on the Hobart Rivulet; and

 

2.       Not perform any future structural works within one metre of either the historic or current walls of the Rivulet, including but not limited to replacement of footings, without written permission from the Council.

 

All costs for the preparation and registration of the Part 5 Agreement must be met by the owner.

SUB s3

 

Prior to the sealing of the final plan, private sewer, stormwater and water services/connections are to be entirely separate to the final combined lot (i.e. lot 3 combined with lot 1 (CT 136589/1)) and contained entirely within the lot served (or appropriate easements).

 

The developer must verify compliance of the separation of services by supplying the Council with an as­installed services plan prior to the sealing of the final plan. The plan must:

 

1.       Clearly indicate the location and details of all relevant services and easements.

 

2.       Be accompanied by certification from a suitably qualified person that all engineering work required by this permit have been completed.

 

Advice: Once the as­installed services plan has been approved the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).

 

 

Any final plan submitted for sealing will not be processed unless it is accompanied by documentation by a qualified person that clearly certifies that this condition has been satisfied and that all the work required by this condition has been completed. A “qualified person must be a professional engineer or professional surveyor or other persons acceptable to the Council.

 

Reason for condition

13.      Inclusion Zoning

            File Ref: F18/65666; 13-1-9

Ref:    Open CPC 9.1, 12/06/2018

 

That the following Motion, which was lost at the City Planning Committee meeting of 12 June 2018, be referred to the Council for determination:

Alderman Anna Reynolds

Motion:

That the Council requests a report on:

-     Whether ‘inclusionary zoning’ provisions (requiring that a percentage of affordable housing be included in multi-unit developments) could assist to increase the supply of affordable housing in Hobart;

 

-     The use of ‘inclusionary zoning’ in other Australian states and outline whether there are current limits to the Council’s ability to use these kind of provisions;

 

-     Outline the most appropriate way for Council to advocate for the use of ‘inclusionary zoning’ in the Tasmanian Planning System.

 

 

 

 

Rationale:

 

The planning system is central to the supply of housing and affordable housing and across Australia planning policy mechanisms are being used to address the shortfalls in the supply of affordable housing.

 

Inclusionary Zoning is one of the statutory planning mechanisms being used in other parts of Australia. It involves requiring development proponents to incorporate certain facilities or features on their site, or pay a cash-in-lieu contribution for this obligation to be discharged off-site.

 

Traditionally, inclusionary provisions were applied to car parking requirements and open space contributions. More recently, requirements to incorporate a certain proportion of affordable housing in a development project, or make a cash contribution for an equivalent quantum and standard of affordable housing to be provided elsewhere in the neighbourhood in question, have been implemented in some places in Australia.

 

Tasmania needs to modernise its planning system to help deliver much needed affordable housing. Reform of the planning system to include the use of ‘inclusionary zoning’ could allow local government to require that developments over a certain threshold include providing for housing diversity, social mix and housing affordability.

 

Expert advice is needed for Council to decide if this is a planning policy approach that it supports and the most appropriate path for this approach to be delivered in Hobart.

 

The 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 administration of planning schemes.”

 

 

 

Reynolds

Cocker
