Ref: Part 2, Regulation 8(7) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

5. Transfer of Agenda Items

Regulation 15 of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

A committee may close a part of a meeting to the public where a matter to be discussed falls within 15(2) of the above regulations.

In the event that the committee transfer an item to the closed portion, the reasons for doing so should be stated.

Are there any items which should be transferred from this agenda to the closed portion of the agenda, or from the closed to the open portion of the agenda?

6. Planning Authority Items - Consideration of Items With Deputations

In accordance with the requirements of Part 2 Regulation 8(3) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the General Manager is to arrange the agenda so that the planning authority items are sequential.

In accordance with Part 2 Regulation 8(4) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the Committee by simple majority may change the order of any of the items listed on the agenda, but in the case of planning items they must still be considered sequentially – in other words they still have to be dealt with as a single group on the agenda.

Where deputations are to be received in respect to planning items, past practice has been to move consideration of these items to the beginning of the meeting.

RECOMMENDATION

That in accordance with Regulation 8(4) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the Committee resolve to deal with any items which have deputations by members of the public regarding any planning matter listed on the agenda, to be taken out of sequence in order to deal with deputations at the beginning of the meeting.

Memorandum: City Planning Committee

108 Regent Street Sandy Bay - Partial Demolition, Alterations and Extension - PLN-17-590

Planning application PLN-17-590 for partial demolition, alterations and extension at 108 Regent Street, Sandy Bay was considered by the City Planning Committee at its meeting on 11 September 2017. The application had an officer recommendation for refusal on heritage grounds.

The Committee resolved as follows:

That the matter be deferred to a subsequent City Planning Committee meeting to enable further discussion with the Applicant.

Since the Committee’s resolution to defer the planning application, there has been ongoing discussion between the applicant, the owner and the Council's Cultural Heritage Officer and Development Appraisal Planner. Revised plans were put forward by the applicant during that time. However, neither the discussions nor the revised plans resulted in a proposal that the Council’s Cultural Heritage Officer was able to support.

As a consequence, the applicant has requested that the application return back to the Committee for their consideration with the originally submitted plans.

In light of the above, the officer recommendation for refusal remains. A copy of the officer report and original plans are provided as an attachment to this memorandum.

An extension of time has been granted by the applicant until 26 September 2018.

REcommendation

That: Pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for partial demolition, alterations and extension at 108 Regent Street, Sandy Bay for the following reasons:

1. The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.8.1 A1 and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed partial demolition will result in the loss of the existing dwelling's roof form, which contributes to the historic cultural heritage significance of heritage precinct Sandy Bay 6 (Golf Links Estate).

2. The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.8.2 A1 and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed second storey design of the extension will result in detriment to the historic cultural heritage significance of heritage precinct Sandy Bay 6 (Golf Links Estate).

3. The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.8.2 A3 and P3 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed second storey extension to the existing dwelling will detract from the historic cultural heritage significance of heritage precinct Sandy Bay 6 (Golf Links Estate).

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.

REPORT TITLE: Glenorchy to Hobart Public Transit Corridor Project Update

REPORT PROVIDED BY: General Manager

1. Report Purpose and Community Benefit

1.1. The purpose of this report is to provide the Council with the report from LUTI Consultants regarding implementation of the Glenorchy to Hobart Transit Corridor Project and consider future activities of the Hobart to Glenorchy Public Transit Corridor Steering Committee pending finalisation of the Hobart City Deal process.

1.2. The Glenorchy to Hobart Transit Corridor project has the potential to act as a catalyst to support urban renewal and generate significant economic and social benefits for the community.

2. Report Summary

2.1. This report provides the Council with the report from LUTI Consultants regarding implementation of the Glenorchy to Hobart Transit Corridor Project and considers future activities of the Hobart to Glenorchy Public Transit Corridor Steering Committee pending finalisation of the Hobart City Deal process.

2.2. At its meeting on 22 May 2017, the Council considered a report in relation to implementation of the Glenorchy to Hobart Transit Corridor Project and resolved that a consultant with specialist expertise in implementation of urban renewal and transit oriented development projects be commissioned to assist in and provide advice in relation to project implementation.

2.3. LUTI Consulting in association with Corview were subsequently commissioned to undertake the project. LUTI Consulting presented their final report (Attachment A) on the project to the Steering Committee at its meeting on 20 June 2018. The key outcomes of the project are outlined in section 4 of this report.

2.4. The LUTI report outlines 9 suggested future actions of which 5 are specific to the Hobart City Deal, while the remaining 4 are more general.

2.5. It is proposed that the Council receive and note the attached report by LUTI Consultants and given the commonality with matters to be addressed in the Hobart City Deal process put further activities by the Hobart Glenorchy Public Transit Corridor Steering Committee on hold pending finalisation of that process.

3. Recommendation

That:

1. Council receive and note the Glenorchy to Hobart Public Transit Corridor Implementation Facilitation Report - LUTI Consultants (June 2018).

2. Based on the advice from Minister Gutwein and the decision of the Glenorchy City Council made on 30 July 2018, further activities by the Hobart Glenorchy Public Transit Corridor Committee be put on hold pending finalisation of the Hobart City Deal process.

4. Background

4.1. In May 2016, the Hobart and Glenorchy City Councils agreed to commission consultants to investigate the potential activation of the Glenorchy to Hobart public transit corridor as a catalyst for broader city shaping and urban renewal activity.

4.2. The resultant report authored by GHD; Glenorchy to Hobart Transit Corridor Study found that the project has the potential to act as a catalyst to support urban renewal and generate significant economic and social benefits for the community. It also considered that implementation will involve all levels of government, infrastructure agencies and the private sector and without State Government support and commitment is unlikely to eventuate.

4.3. At its meeting on 22 May 2017, the Council considered a report in relation to implementation of the Glenorchy to Hobart Transit Corridor Project and resolved as follows:

Subject to Glenorchy City Council agreeing to contribute $20,000, a suitably qualified consultant with specialist expertise in implementation of urban renewal and transit oriented development projects be commissioned to assist in and provide advice in relation to project implementation with a brief being prepared for endorsement by the Steering Committee and expressions of interest called.

4.4. Glenorchy City Council subsequently agreed to contribute the funds and the project brief was endorsed by the Steering Committee. The brief required the consultant to undertake the following tasks:

4.4.1. Engage with the State and Federal Governments to identify and recruit representatives to participate in driving urban renewal projects such as that proposed with the Glenorchy to Hobart Public Transit Corridor Project.

4.4.2. Promotion of the potential value created through urban regeneration and transit oriented development along the Hobart to Glenorchy Corridor, including engagement with potential public and private sector beneficiaries to identify specific development opportunities and barriers.

4.4.3. Identify private equity interest in urban renewal and transit oriented development along the Hobart to Glenorchy corridor.

4.4.4. Identify possible funding sources and/or partnerships to progress implementation of the Glenorchy to Hobart Public Transit Corridor Project.

4.4.5. Develop a recommended action plan for State and Local government with regards to stimulating developer demand for areas along the Glenorchy Hobart Corridor.

4.4.6. Engage with the State Government in relation to the actions identified as State responsibility in the project implementation plan in Section 9 of the GHD report (2016).

4.5. Following an expressions of interest process, LUTI Consulting in association with Corview were commissioned to undertake the project.

4.6. LUTI Consulting presented their final report (Attachment A) on the project to the Steering Committee at its meeting on 20 June 2018. The key outcomes of the project were as follows:

4.6.1. A workshop was held in Hobart on 15 February 2018 to demonstrate to a broad cross section of the Local Government and State Government as well as relevant members of the private sector the benefits of integrated land use and transit planning as well as the opportunity to include an affordable housing strategy to address the rising need for housing supply in greater Hobart;

4.6.2. The project team met with representatives from several of the State and Commonwealth agencies directly to drive positive engagement with the project;

4.6.3. A public forum was held to inform the broader stakeholders of the city of the urban regeneration and productivity benefits that would be created from the investment in the Glenorchy to Hobart Public Transit Corridor Project. The real benefit of conducting this forum was to demonstrate to the stakeholders the benefits of integrated land use and transit planning elsewhere, as well as the potential that could be created on the Glenorchy to Hobart Public Transit Corridor Project. The forum was attended by approximately 80 to 100 members of the public and other stakeholders;

4.6.4. The lead consultant, Dr James McIntosh, conducted 4 media engagements to promote the integration of urban renewal and transit along the rail corridor, as well as promoting the public forum itself; and

4.6.5. Development opportunities along the corridor were assessed however it was determined that it was premature to engage with key landowners until the State Government has given a briefing on the status of their business case process.

4.7. The conclusion of this report outlines 9 suggested future actions of which 5 are specific to the Hobart City Deal, while the remaining 4 are more general.

5. Proposal and Implementation

5.1. It is proposed that Council receive and note the attached report by LUTI Consultants and based on the advice from Minister Gutwein and the decision of the Glenorchy City Council made on 30 July 2018, put further activities by the Hobart Glenorchy Public Transit Corridor Committee on hold pending finalisation of the Hobart City Deal process.

5.2. The announcement of a Heads of Agreement for a Hobart City Deal in January 2018 has prompted the Hobart to Glenorchy Public Transit Corridor Committee to consider the context in which the development of the corridor and surrounding areas might progress.

5.3. The Hobart City Deal and the Public Transit Corridor has commonalities across the City Deal themes of:

5.3.1. Affordable Housing (the land adjacent to the corridor is identified in the GHD Report as an opportunity for urban renewal that has potential for up to 2000 additional dwellings);

5.3.2. Integrated Passenger Transport (the public transit corridor is a strategic asset in the consideration of transport for the greater Hobart area); and

5.3.3. Greater Hobart Act (strategic land-use planning is a key enabler for the opportunities associated with urban renewal along the transit corridor).

5.4. The Lord Mayor and Mayor of Glenorchy, Kristie Johnston met with Minister for State Growth, Peter Gutwein and the Deputy Premier, Jeremy Rockliff on 29 May 2018 to discuss the work of the Hobart Glenorchy Public Transit Corridor Steering Committee. In a letter to the Lord Mayor dated 21 June 2018 the Minister advised that;

“I believe the governance arrangements established to advance the Hobart City Deal are the ideal vehicle to progress the consideration of ways to support future use of the northern suburbs rail corridor, including through improved amenity and greater residential options.”

5.5. The Hobart City Deal Governance Framework includes representation by the Lord Mayor and Glenorchy Mayor on the Joint Ministerial Committee and representation by the City of Hobart General Manager, Glenorchy City General Manager and Infrastructure Tasmania CEO (Allan Garcia) on the Senior Officials Group; all of whom are members of the Hobart Glenorchy Public Transit Corridor Steering Committee.

5.6. Given the advice of Minister Gutwein and the involvement of the Committee members in the governance arrangements for the Hobart City Deal, it is considered prudent for further activity by the Hobart Glenorchy Public Transit Corridor Steering Committee to be put on hold until the outcomes of the Hobart City Deal are announced; this is expected in late 2018.

6. Strategic Planning and Policy Considerations

6.1. This project furthers Strategic Objective: 1.1 of the City of Hobart’s Capital City Strategic Plan 2015-2025 which provides for partnerships to create city growth and Strategic Objective: 2.1 which provides for a fully accessible and connected city environment.

7. Financial Implications

7.1. Funding Source and Impact on Current Year Operating Result

7.1.1. The recommendations do not have financial implications.

7.2. Impact on Future Years’ Financial Result

7.2.1. The recommendations do not have financial implications.

7.3. Asset Related Implications

7.3.1. None at this stage.

8. Legal, Risk and Legislative Considerations

8.1. None at this stage.

9. Community and Stakeholder Engagement

9.1. As part of the LUTI consultancy work a public forum on integrated transport and urban development was held Thursday 15 February 2018. Panel participants discussed the benefits of integrated urban renewal and transit projects and the city shaping benefits they will bring.

9.2. The City of Glenorchy has been consulted in relation to the future activities of the Hobart to Glenorchy Public Transit Corridor Steering Committee.

Response to Question Without Notice

Garrington Park Subdivision

Meeting: City Planning Committee

Meeting date: 30 July 2018

Raised by: Alderman Reynolds

Question:

Could the Director please advise when the final inspection will be taking place on the Garrington Park subdivision to ensure that the subdivision is compliant before it is handed over to Council?

Response:

The subdivision of the former K&D site at 110 Giblin Street, New Town, known as Garrington Park, has been approved in nine stages, as shown below.

Certificates of title have been issued for Stages 1-7. Stages 8 and 9 are yet to have titles issued.

As Stages 8 and 9 are yet to be finalised, it is unknown when the last inspection of the subdivision will take place.

However, it should be noted that a number of aspects of the approved subdivision have already been inspected in association with various subdivision stages prior to be being taken over by the City, and that that practice will continue in accordance with the conditions on the planning permit as the last stages are finalised. The commencement and completion of each stage is substantially determined by the developer.
