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 Gerard Willems - Civic Square

 

Mr Willems put the following questions and was provided with the corresponding responses from the Lord Mayor.

Question 1:

As it has taken so long for Council to announce its preferred proponent for the Civic Square site, will there be a review of the leases for current tenants, which end in February 2019, to offer extensions to those leases?

Question 2:

Who will make decisions about the future of the current, longstanding businesses that lease buildings on the site – the preferred proponent to Council?

Lord Mayor’s Response:

Answer 1:

While a preferred proponent has been identified in relation to Civic Square site expression of interest (EOI) process, the Council has not made any decision in relation to proceeding to the next stage of the EOI.  The matter has been deferred by the Council and will be reconsidered by the Finance and Governance Committee at its November meeting.  As leases for the tenants on the site are due to expire in February 2019, it is the intention of officers to seek approval from Council to extend those leases as part of the further consideration of the matter in November.  The length of any extension will ultimately depend on the outcome of the EOI process and should the EOI process proceed to the next step then any extension of the leases would be undertaken in consultation with the preferred proponent.

Answer 2:

If the Council ultimately determines to proceed to enter into a lease with the preferred proponent for the site as an outcome of the EOI process, then the decision about sub-leases on the site would be a matter for the preferred proponent.

 

 

 

5.2      Mr Ben Lohberger - City Deal

 

Mr Lohberger put the following question and was provided with the corresponding response from the Lord Mayor.  

Question:

 

As a key stakeholder in the City Deal process, has the HCC been consulted about the recent proposal to demolish the purpose-built CSIRO and IMAS buildings, before rebuilding them less than one kilometre from their current location? If the Council has been consulted, what information has been received, and can the Council share any of that information with ratepayers?

 

Lord Mayor’s Response:

No, the Council has not been consulted on this issue, other than we are aware it is one of the issues being discussed in the Hobart City Deal negotiations. The Council is not a party to those discussions.

 

 

 

6.       Petitions

 

No petitions were received.

 

 

 

 

7.       Consideration of Supplementary Items

The number of Committee and Council meetings since 2015 where the Council has discussed the future use of Civic Square, including how many of these many of these meetings have been in closed and open.

 

Answer:              The Finance Committee and Council has considered reports in relation to Civic Square on 13 occasions since 2015.  Two of these have been in open meetings.

A list of those meetings is included below together with a brief description of the topic of the report.

Finance Committee – Closed – 21 April 2015 – Lease development proposal for part of Civic Square site

Council – Closed – 27 April 2015

Finance Committee – Closed – 26 October 2015 – Consideration of draft Civic Square Master Plan

Council – Closed – 26 October 2015

Finance Committee – Open – 16 March 2016 – Consideration of final Master Plan following public consultation

Council – Open 21 March 2016

Finance Committee – Closed – 15 June 2016 – Consideration of a course of action in response to comppeted Master Plan

Council – Closed – 20 June 2016

Finance Committee – Closed – 14 November 2017 – Consideration of the outcome of the EOI process

Finance Committee – Closed – 12 December 2017 – Consideration of the outcome of the EOI process

Council – Closed – 18 December 2017

Finance and Governance Committee – Closed – 11 September 2017 – Consideration of the outcome of the EOI process

Council – Closed – 17 September 2017

 

Question 2:        Can you please outline:

 

Information prepared by Council as part of the Civic Square Expression of Interest process that can be made publicly available to provide some information on Council’s intentions with the EOI process.

 

Answer:              As part of the expression of interest process an Information Memorandum was prepared by LJ Hooker Commercial which was available to prospective proponents.  This document provided details of the opportunity as well as setting out the process the Council would follow in undertaking the expression of interest process.  It is considered that this would be appropriate to be made publically available, however it will require slight amendment as it contains commercial details of the Council’s current tenants on the site.  Prospective proponents were required to sign a confidentiality agreement prior to obtaining the Information Memorandum as advised in the attached memorandum to Aldermen dated 18 November 2016.  A redacted version of the Information Memorandum is attached for the information of the Council.

 

It should also be noted that extensive marketing and communications was undertaken as part of the expression of interest process including a media release, newspaper article and marketing in the Mercury, Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Financial Review and Melbourne Age as well as online nationally and internationally.
