2.     Be repaired and reinstated by the owner to the satisfaction of 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.

To ensure compliance with 11.4.2 P3 when considering the visual bulk the proposed works present to adjoining properties.

 

 

ENG sw1

 

All stormwater from the proposed development (including but not limited to: roofed areas, ag drains, retaining wall ag drains and impervious surfaces such as driveways and paved areas) must be drained to the Council’s stormwater infrastructure prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first).

 

Advice: it is noted that under the urban drainage act 2013 Council typically only approve one stormwater connection per property and that stormwater cannot be drained through a second property. It is likely that your stormwater from the new dwelling will be required to discharge through the existing kerb and gutter connection and that the proposed kerb and gutter connection will be permitted for draining the driveway only (which is on a separate title).

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure that stormwater from the site will be discharged to a suitable Council approved outlet.

 

ENG sw4

 

Any proposed new storm water connection must be constructed and existing connections proposed to be abandoned sealed by the Council at the owner’s expense, prior to the first occupation.

 

Detailed engineering drawings must be submitted and approved, prior to commencement of work. The detailed engineering drawings must include:

 

1.    The location of the proposed connection;

2.    The size of the connection appropriate to satisfy the needs of the development; and

 

3.    A long section of the proposed connection if the Council’s City Infrastructure Stormwater Engineers deem this necessary.

 

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

 

 

Advice:

 

The applicant is advised to submit detailed design drawings via the Council City Infrastructure Division application for a new stormwater connection. If detailed design to satisfy this condition is submitted via the planning condition endorsement process there may be fees associated with the assessment, and once approved the applicant will still need to submit an application for a new stormwater connection with the Council’s City Infrastructure Division.

·     Where building / plumbing approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation to satisfy this condition is submitted well before submitting documentation for building/plumbing approval. Failure to address planning condition requirements prior to submitting for building/plumbing approval may result in unexpected delays.

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure the site is drained adequately.

 

ENG 4

 

The access driveway and parking module (car parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) 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 commencement of 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.

 

Advice: For further guidance in preparing a Soil and Water Management Plan – in accordance with Fact sheet 3 Derwent Estuary Program click here.

 

Reason for condition

 

To avoid the sedimentation of roads, drains, natural watercourses, Council land that could be caused by erosion and runoff from the development, and to comply with relevant State legislation.

REAR BOUNDARY FENCE

 

While the Council commends the developer and neighbouring property owners for respectful discussions regarding potential amendments to the submitted design of the rear fence, any amendments to that design that result in the rear fence having a height exceeding 2.1 metres about natural ground level would not be planning exempt under clause 6.4 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, and would create a discretion under the ‘setbacks and building envelope’ provisions for the Inner Residential Zone not considered as part of the formal assessment of this application (PLN-18-573). Such a design would therefore require the lodgement of a separate planning application and the granting of a subsequent planning permit prior to construction of such a fence occurring.  For further advice, please contact the Development Appraisal Planner on 6238 2820.

 

ONGOING DISCUSSIONS WITH ADJOINING NEIGHBOURS

 

It is strongly recommended that the applicant continue discussions with adjoining neighbours to achieve a resolution in relation to the rear boundary fence that satisfies all parties.

Motions of which notice has been given

 

IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION 16(5) OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT (MEETING PROCEDURES) REGULATIONS 2015

12.      Food Van Program

            File Ref: F19/10685; 13-1-9

Ref:    Open CCEC 7.1, 6/02/2019

 

Motion:

That the council undertake a review of the Food Van Program and associated relevant regulations including other temporary food service structure to ensure:

 

1)      The guidelines and food and hygiene regulations are contemporary and preserve a ‘level playing field’, especially when permanent food vans are located near established businesses that pay rates and other fees;

2)      The relevant planning schemes are contemporary and that the use categories in the schemes respect the fact that temporary and permanent food vans may be located close to existing businesses. In particular those businesses seeking to trade in permanent positions.

3)      That consultation occurs with relevant peak bodies and stakeholders.

In preparing the report, an analysis be included of trends and requirements in other cities that operate food truck programs.

 

 

 

Rationale:

 

In recent times, there have been occasions where both temporary and permanent food vans have been approved by the Council either as planning authority or under the Food Van Program which have raised concerns from established businesses.

 

The Food Van Program is an excellent initiative that encourages activation of our city and also facilitates people moving safely around our city, especially late at night.

 

Nevertheless, some businesses have raised concerns about permanent food vans and the fact that there is not a level playing field when it comes to complying with environmental health regulations. Food vans are classified differently under these regulations to restaurants and cafes and other eating establishments that have kitchens. For instance, food vans are not required to be plumbed into the sewer, nor are they required to provide toilets and a number of other features that permanent establishments are required to provide. Permanent establishments are also required to pay rates.

 

The planning schemes also treat food vans as mobile food vans and make these uses permitted even when they are located close to established food premises.

 

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 current Hobart Food Trucks Program.
