4.       Notification of Council Workshops

In accordance with the requirements of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the General Manager reports that the following Council workshop has been conducted since the last ordinary meeting of the Council.

 

Date:                 16 May 2019

Purpose:           Strategic Plan Workshop

 

 

 

5.       Public Question Time

 

5.1      Ben Lohberger - Pedestrian Bridge Between New Town High School and Central Avenue

 

 

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

Question:

It is now more than a year since the pedestrian bridge between New Town High School and Central Avenue was closed due to flood damage. Is there a timeline for the repair and reopening of this bridge?

And what steps has the HCC taken to advise the local community about the fate of the bridge?

 

 

Response:

The storm event of May 2018 caused significant damage to the pedestrian bridge that provides access from the Central Avenue side of the Rivulet to New Town High School.

Significant engineering, geotechnical and flood modelling has been required in the design of the new bridge, that has taken more time than we would have liked. However, the project is now currently out for tender to allow replacement of the bridge to proceed.

During this period, the City has had regular contact with the School to keep them up to date, with onsite signage also indicating that investigations into repairs or replacement of the bridge were underway.

 

 

 

 

 

6.       Petitions

 

6.1      Hobart Not Highrise - Petition Seeking Elector Poll

 

The General Manager tabled a petition from Mr Brian Corr requesting a poll of electors be held in relation to building heights.

 

There were 1820 signatures on the petition.

 

The petition form states:

 

I ask the Hobart City Council to conduct a poll of electors, asking the following question:

Do you agree that Council should adopt the professional planning staff’s full recommendations regarding heritage buildings, view-lines, streetscapes, and absolute maximum building heights as recommended, or lower as Council might decide?

 

The General Manager reported in the following terms:

 

“There are three pre-conditions required to be met which would require the Council to conduct an elector poll:

1.    If the petition was received within 30 days after the public meeting in relation to the same subject matter as that contained in the petition requesting the public meeting.

 

 

2.    If the petition is signed by at least 5% of the electors in the municipal area or 1,000 of those electors, whichever is the lesser; and

 

3.    The petition complies with s57(2) of the Act.

 

s57(2)    A person lodging a petition is to ensure that the petition contains –

(a)     a clear and concise statement identifying the subject matter and the action requested; and

(b)     in the case of a paper petition, a heading on each page indicating the subject matter; and

(c)     in the case of a paper petition, a brief statement on each page of the subject matter and the action requested; and

(d)     a statement specifying the number of signatories; and

(e)     at the end of the petition –

(i)    in the case of a paper petition, the full name, address and signature of the person lodging the petition; and

(ii)   in the case of an electronic petition, the full name and address of the person lodging the petition and a statement by that person certifying that the statement of the subject matter and the action requested, as set out at the beginning of the petition, has not been changed.”

The public meeting was held on 16 April 2019 and the petition was provided to me on Wednesday 15 May 2019 – so within 30 days of the public meeting.

 

The petition has been signed by 1,169 electors, which exceeds the 1,000 required.

 

The petition complies with s57(2) – which relates to the form and information provided with the petition.

 

There is no need to follow the usual practice and refer a petition to the relevant committee.

 

The Council is therefore required to conduct an elector poll.  The petition is required to be held within 60 days of its receipt unless Mr Corr, as the person who lodged the petition, agrees that it can be held in conjunction with the next ordinary election.  I will write to Mr Corr enquiring in that regard and advise the Council accordingly.

 

The elector poll is to be conducted as determined by the Electoral Commissioner and I will liaise with him regarding that process.  He will ultimately determine the question to be asked.

 

Once the elector poll has concluded, the Council is to discuss its result at its next ordinary meeting and the result is not binding on the Council.

The Council will be kept informed in relation to conducting the elector poll.”

BRISCOE                                       That the petition be received and noted.

6.2      Mark Howard - Building Heights

 

The General Manager tabled a petition calling for the Council to retain the existing height limit of 45 metres in Hobart.

The petition contains 314 signatures and states:

 

“At the public meeting in Hobart City Hall on Tuesday 16th April, over 1000 people attended. The vast majority voted to retain the existing height limits of Hobart CBD of 45 metres, whilst overwhelmingly rejecting a call to raise the limit to 60 metres.

“ Hobart not Highrise” is still, inexplicably, urging adoption of 60

metre (20 storey) height limits for Hobart.

We the undersigned, request the Hobart City Council hold an electors’ poll that reflects the overwhelming vote for the successful motion from the public meeting of 16 April 2019. The motion passed was:

This meeting calls on the Hobart City Council to protect the heritage character of Hobart by:

1)    Acknowledging the great economic and social value of the City’s character and working to ensure that new development complements that character.

2)    Establishing a maximum height of 45 metres, which in part allows 15 storey buildings but restricts such buildings to sites where they don’t impact on heritage buildings, streetscapes and precincts.

3)    Strongly tighten the use of discretion in planning approvals, which has led to serious abuse.

We believe that, to respect the outcome of the vote, the question in the Electors' Poll should read:

Do you agree that Council should retain its existing height limits of 45 metres and set absolute maximum building heights in the CBD of no more that 45 metres (15 storeys)? YES/NO”

 

The General Manager reported in the following terms:

 

Whilst this petition does relate to the building height issue, it is not seeking the conduct of an elector poll itself.  However, given the issues raised I will ensure that these are available to the Electoral Commissioner as part of his undertaking the elector poll.

Given this, there is no need to follow the usual practice and refer a petition to the relevant committee.

 

 

 

DUTTA

BRISCOE                                       That the petition be received and noted.

9.       Council Acting as Planning Authority

 

In accordance with the provisions of Part 2 Regulation 25 of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the intention of the Council to act as a planning authority pursuant to the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 is to be noted.

 

In accordance with Regulation 25, the Council will act as a planning authority in respect to those matters appearing under this heading on the agenda, inclusive of any supplementary items.

 

The Council is reminded that in order to comply with Regulation 25(2), the General Manager is to ensure that the reasons for a decision by a Council or Council Committee acting as a planning authority are recorded in the minutes.

 

9.1      8 Flint Avenue, New Town - Carport

            PLN-19-167 - File Ref: F19/52290

Ref:    Open CPC 7.1.1, 13/05/2019

Application Expiry Date: 18 June 2019

Extension of Time: Not applicable

 

That pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for Carport at 8 Flint Avenue, New Town, Tas, 7008 for the following reasons:

1.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause 11.4.2 A1 and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the setback of the carport does not have regard to streetscape qualities or assist the integration of the carport into the streetscape;

 

2.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause 11.4.2 A2 and P2 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the setback of the carport does not provide separation from the frontage that complements or enhances the existing streetscape; and

 

3.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criteria with respect to clause 13.8.2 A1 and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed carport, by reason of its location forward of the front building line, would have a detrimental impact upon those features which contribute to the historic cultural significance of the Flint Avenue Heritage Precinct (NT12) as set out in table E.13.2.

URBAN DESIGN ADVISORY PANEL

 

The Council's Urban Design Advisory Panel considered this application at its meeting of 22 March 2019 and made the following recommendations which are provided for the applicant's consideration:

 

·        The protection of residential amenity (setback) with the balconies and windows located on the boundary of the site. The Panel raised concern that the design is unlikely to comply with the Building Code of Australia and that the applicant should seek advice from a building surveyor before proceeding further with the Application.

 

·        The Panel felt that the design of the lobby was awkward as it lacked a linkage to the stairs. It was also noted that the split floor levels incorporating steps leading to alternate fire exits may raise concerns around the adequacy of disability access and fire safety.

 

·        The first floor of the proposal above the car park shows an outdoor area of vacant space. The Panel raised the opportunity for landscaping within this space and suggested this could be utilised as a common area for residents.

 

·        The ground floor shows no internal access to garbage disposal area. The Panel felt that there should be an internal connection to the garbage disposal area for both residents and the occupiers of the retail space.

 

·        The Panel notes that the proposal includes no external common spaces or landscaping and suggests that consideration be given to the provision of outdoor dining, landscaping and greenery that would encourage interaction from the street and where possible with neighbouring properties. The canopy/awning projection over the footpath was also noted as being very shallow.

 

·        The Panel did consider the elevational treatment patterns to be an improvement on the previous application however believes that the lobby / entrance section to the north­west end of the building could be improved with a glazed panel or similar for additional natural light.

 

·        Concerns were raised regarding the colour palette and finishes. The Panel believed that the black, white and grey concrete finishes were particularly austere for a prominent residential complex in this location.

Stormwater pre-treatment for stormwater discharges from the development must be installed and a Treatment Train Maintenance Contract entered into prior to the commencement of use.

The stormwater pre-treatment system must incorporate a treatment system of a size and design sufficient to achieve the stormwater quality targets in accordance with the State Stormwater Strategy 2010.

The stormwater pre-treatment system must be maintained for the life of the development. 

Reason for condition 

To avoid the possible pollution of drainage systems and natural watercourses, and to comply with relevant State legislation.

ENG sw8


Prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first), an onsite stormwater detention system must be installed to limit stormwater discharge from the site to the pre-development level. The permissible site discharge for a 1:20 Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) storm event of any duration is 12 L/s.

Prior to any approval under the Building Act 2016, a stormwater management report and detention design must be submitted and approved by Council. The stormwater management report and detention design must be prepare by a suitably qualified engineer and include:

1.   Detailed design and supporting calculations of the detention tank, sized such that the permissible site discharge of 12 L/s is not exceeded for all duration 1:20 ARI storm events.  All assumptions must be clearly stated;

 

2.   Design drawings of the detention tank showing the layout, the inlet and outlet (including how outflows will be limited), the overflow mechanism; and

 

 

 

 

 

3.   A stormwater management summary plan that outlines the obligations for future property owners to stormwater management, including a maintenance plan which outlines the operational and maintenance measures to check and ensure the ongoing effective operation of all systems, such as: inspection frequency; cleanout procedures; descriptions and diagrams of how the installed systems operate; details of the life of assets and replacement requirements.


All work required by this condition must be undertaken and maintained in accordance with the approved stormwater management report and design.

Advice: 

·      If the parking module is proposed to be free draining from the site, this condition can be met by providing a single 6000L tanks with a maximum driving head of 1.75m and 45mm sharp edged orifice plate outlet. If the developer wishes to utilise four (4) of 1500 Litre detentions tanks (one for each dwelling positioned in parallel), it is recommended to plumb these into a single flow restriction pit with a single flow limiting device (as four individual orifice plate flow restrictors [one on each dwelling's tank] will be too small diameter to be practical).

 

·      Once the stormwater management report and design has been approved the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement and the associated fees).

 

·      It is advised that documentation for condition endorsement is lodged well before a building / plumbing permit is required, as failure to address design requirements until building / plumbing permit stage may result in unexpected delays.


Reason for condition 

To ensure that the stormwater runoff quantity is managed to take into account the limited receiving capacity of the downstream Council stormwater infrastructure.

ENG tr2

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 Council 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 sw7


Stormwater pre-treatment for stormwater discharges from the development must be installed and a Treatment Train Maintenance Contract entered into prior to the commencement of use.

The stormwater pre-treatment system must incorporate a treatment system of a size and design sufficient to achieve the stormwater quality targets in accordance with the State Stormwater Strategy 2010.

The stormwater pre-treatment system must be maintained for the life of the development. 

Reason for condition 

To avoid the possible pollution of drainage systems and natural watercourses, and to comply with relevant State legislation.

ENG sw8


Prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first), an onsite stormwater detention system must be installed to limit stormwater discharge from the site to the pre-development level. The permissible site discharge for a 1:20 Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) storm event of any duration is 12 L/s.

Prior to any approval under the Building Act 2016, a stormwater management report and detention design must be submitted and approved by Council. The stormwater management report and detention design must be prepare by a suitably qualified engineer and include:

1.   Detailed design and supporting calculations of the detention tank, sized such that the permissible site discharge of 12 L/s is not exceeded for all duration 1:20 ARI storm events.  All assumptions must be clearly stated;

 

2.   Design drawings of the detention tank showing the layout, the inlet and outlet (including how outflows will be limited), the overflow mechanism; and

 

 

 

 

3.   A stormwater management summary plan that outlines the obligations for future property owners to stormwater management, including a maintenance plan which outlines the operational and maintenance measures to check and ensure the ongoing effective operation of all systems, such as: inspection frequency; cleanout procedures; descriptions and diagrams of how the installed systems operate; details of the life of assets and replacement requirements.


All work required by this condition must be undertaken and maintained in accordance with the approved stormwater management report and design.

Advice: 

·      If the parking module is proposed to be free draining from the site, this condition can be met by providing a single 6000L tanks with a maximum driving head of 1.75m and 45mm sharp edged orifice plate outlet. If the developer wishes to utilise four (4) of 1500 Litre detentions tanks (one for each dwelling positioned in parallel), it is recommended to plumb these into a single flow restriction pit with a single flow limiting device (as four individual orifice plate flow restrictors [one on each dwelling's tank] will be too small diameter to be practical).

 

·      Once the stormwater management report and design has been approved the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement and the associated fees).

 

·      It is advised that documentation for condition endorsement is lodged well before a building / plumbing permit is required, as failure to address design requirements until building / plumbing permit stage may result in unexpected delays.


Reason for condition 

To ensure that the stormwater runoff quantity is managed to take into account the limited receiving capacity of the downstream Council stormwater infrastructure.

15.      Climate and Biodiversity Emergency

            File Ref: F19/56096; 13-1-10

 

Councillor Harvey

Preamble:

There is a growing awareness across that world that political leaders have failed to respond to the urgency of addressing climate change and to meeting global emissions reduction targets to limit global warming to below 2 degrees. Failure to achieve this target is projected to lead to catastrophic outcomes for humanity, habitat and biodiversity. The overwhelming body of scientific evidence conclusively points to this and we have had consistent warnings that time is running out to act.

At the March 2019 meeting of the UN General Assembly, speakers warned that humanity only has 11 years to prevent irreversible damage from climate change. https://www.un.org/press/en/2019/ga12131.doc.htm

In December 2017, 20,000 scientists from 184 nationals issued a second notice to humanity warning of the urgent need to change direction.

 

 

The Alliance of World Scientists (AWS)

The AWS is a new international assembly of scientists, which is independent of both governmental and non-governmental organizations and corporations. We submit, that in order to prevent widespread misery caused by catastrophic damage to the biosphere, humanity must practice more environmentally sustainable alternative to business-as-usual. Our vital importance and role comes from scientists' unique responsibility as stewards of human knowledge and champions of evidence-based decision-making. The main goal of the AWS is to be a collective international voice of many scientists regarding global climate and environmental trends and how to turn accumulated knowledge into action. Other organizations do laudable work toward this goal, but to our knowledge, AWS is the only independent, grass-roots organization comprised of scientists from around the world committed to the well-being of humanity and the planet.

On the 6th May 2019, the Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services of the Intergovernmental Science Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) reported that around 1,000,000 species are now threatened across the globe with extinction, many within decades and that nature is declining globally at unprecedented rates in human history. They reported the rate of species extinctions is accelerating, with grave impacts on people around the world likely.

 

It is without doubt that humanity needs to change direction to address the emergency of climate change and biodiversity extinction and failure to do so will have catastrophic consequences for future generations, natural habitat, biodiversity and life on earth.

 

To date, as a response to the failure of commitment from national governments, over 520 councils across 8 countries representing 50 million people have already declared a climate emergency. In Australia, 17 councils have made this declaration.

 

Recently, the United Kingdom and Ireland both declared climate emergencies with Ireland also including a biodiversity emergency in their declaration.

Motion:

That the City of Hobart:

Affirms its commitment to future generations in addressing catastrophic climate change and biodiversity loss through its on-going policies, strategies and leadership by supporting the declaration of a climate and biodiversity emergency.

 

 



Writes to the incoming Prime Minister urging them and their Government to declare a climate and biodiversity emergency and to commit to implementing strong national policy, regulation, strategy and resources to secure the well-being of future generations of Australians and to secure the country’s indigenous habitat, ecosystems and ecosystem services on which we all depend and to address the catastrophic causes pushing 1000s of Australian mammal, marine, plant and insect species towards extinction.

Submit urgency motions to the Local Government Association of Tasmanian and the Australian Local Government Association to declare a national climate and biodiversity emergency.

Include acknowledgement of the declaration of a climate and biodiversity emergency in the Council's new Strategic Plan.

 

 

Rationale:

 

“The City of Hobart has been actively working to address climate change issues for close to two decades through its Climate Change Strategies, the Regional Climate Change Initiative (RCCI) and now a comprehensive adaptation strategy to be released soon. 

 

To date, significant progress has been made with energy efficiency, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and community engagement with regard to adaptation plans and preparedness.

 

A record that the council can be very proud of. The council has shown initiative and leadership at a local, state, national and recently international level.

 

It is on the back of this leadership that council can demonstrate its commitment and advocate strongly for national action and leadership.

 

Council already is well aware that climate change looms as a huge risk to this council and its community. The May 2018 floods and recent fires across the island are symptomatic of a changing climate that will threaten and challenges us going forward. The council is already acutely aware and operationally working hard towards preparing communities for a climate altered future and is preparing a new Climate Adaptation Strategy.

 

The following extract demonstrates the council’s understanding, commitment and leadership: City of Hobart: Responding to Climate Change Background Paper highlights key issues and the urgency.

 

“KEY ISSUES

 

•      The world is taking action to limit global warming to below 2 °C. While it is a global issue, the solutions are local.

•      All weather, including extreme weather events, is being influenced by climate change.

•      Extreme weather events are putting pressure on our local economies, health systems, built and urban infrastructure, ecosystems and food production systems.

•      Climate change will have a long-term impact on our communities.

•      Individuals, communities, businesses and governments all have a role to play in responding to climate change.

•      Local governments have a role around informing the community and managing its assets and services.

•      Hobart has highly valued and unique natural and built environments. To protect these requires adaptation actions now.

•      The City of Hobart works with other local governments, networks and stakeholders. It has led a range of ‘adaptation actions’, including the development of an adaptation policy and an adaptation action plan that was replicated across all Tasmanian local Councils.

•      The City of Hobart is working with communities in areas vulnerable to climate impacts such as sea level rise and storm surge at Marieville Esplanade, Long Beach and Nutgrove foreshores reducing bushfire hazard across bushland area improving Hobart’s resilience and sustainability through improved transport and waste management.

•      The City of Hobart influences community adaptation by working towards: a low emissions future—increased renewable energy generation, low carbon transport, energy efficient buildings, zero waste to landfill a healthy and robust built and natural environment people being connected, empowered and feeling part of the community well-informed decision-making at all levels.

•      The City of Hobart is seeking feedback on what actions—for the community and the City—are priorities for the next critical decade.

 

INTRODUCTION

 

There is an expansive and growing body of scientific evidence that the global climate has changed, and will continue to change over the coming century. Climate change modelling undertaken in Tasmania shows that Hobart faces greater risks and challenges from more frequent bushfires, extended heatwaves, heavier rainfall, sea level rise and storm tide events. The City of Hobart recognises that local governments have a key role in working with communities, to prepare for and manage climate change impacts. Local governments have local knowledge and experience, understanding of community needs and vulnerabilities, and has a key role in shaping our urban landscapes and responding to emergencies. Around the world, cities like Hobart are leading the way on climate action. In 1999, the City of Hobart was the first Tasmanian local government to formally commit to and take action on climate change. It has a program in place that has seen it both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy usage as well as preparing Hobart to respond to climate risks. The City of Hobart has a commitment to see the capital evolve into a strong, vibrant, resilient and sustainable city through the provision of local government services and infrastructure.

 

The Capital City Strategic Plan 2015–2025, the City’s key document to guiding development and delivery of our assets, programs and services, identifies the need for increased resilience to climate change. Reviewing and updating our climate strategy therefore presents an opportunity to make sure that we have in place actions that continue to decrease our carbon footprint and assist in responding to climate change impacts (Strategic Objective 3.1).

 

The City of Hobart, through a range of programs, provides resources to build climate

resilience. The City offers grants for climate and energy-saving projects, provides climate change information, and encourages behaviour change. The City of Hobart works closely with the following organisations to deliver adaptation projects:

 

•      Southern Tasmanian Regional Councils Authority;

•      Southern Tasmanian Local Governments;

•      Tasmanian Government, particularly with the Tasmanian Climate Change Office;

•      Local Government Association of Tasmania.

 

WHY ARE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TAKING CLIMATE ACTION?

 

Local governments are the closest level of government to communities and has a

responsibility under the Local Government Act 1993 to provide for the health, safety and welfare of the community. This role includes taking action on climate change.

The Australian Local Government Association, the peak body representing local governments, identifies climate change as one of the top five priorities to act on. It states that effective mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to the impacts of climate change will transform the Australian economy, environment and society.

 

1.    The case for climate action is also made by the Southern Tasmanian Councils Authority which recognises that “in managing and preparing for climate change impacts, local governments are best positioned to work with communities due to their:

 

•    responsibility to support and assist local communities

 

•    local knowledge and experience

 

•    understanding of community needs and vulnerabilities

 

•    role in preparing for, supporting respondes to and recovering from emergencies

 

•    role in infrastructure design, construction and maintenance

 

 

 

 

•    role in review and update of planning schemes (in relation to identified local impacts and threats)

 

•    ability to effectively disseminate information and provide support to the community.

 

CITY OF HOBART’S PRINCIPLE BASED APPROACH

 

Building on its existing leadership role, and highlighting the role of local government in responding to climate change, the City of Hobart recognises that:

 

•     climate change is a global issue requiring local solutions

 

•     climate change action is a shared responsibility between local, state and federal governments, communities and the private sector

 

•     local government has an important role in educating communities at the municipal and regional level on climate change as a risk, and options for adaptation and mitigation

 

•     local government must prepare for and manage the impacts of climate change on its assets and services and work to reduce its emissions and energy use

 

•     early climate change adaptation and mitigation action is more cost effective than delayed action

 

•     in many instances, mitigation actions like renewable energy and energy efficient lights can help bring down overall running costs

 

•     collaboration and cooperation on climate change adaptation and mitigation actions by local government provides more effective use of resources.

 

The City of Hobart is guided in how it responds to climate change by the following principles, which are to:

 

•    administer relevant Tasmanian and/or Australian legislation to promote climate action, including the application of relevant codes, such as the Building Code of Australia

 

•    provide leadership and collaborate across local governments and with the Tasmanian Government to act on climate change

•    manage risks and impacts, and consider opportunities, to assets it owns and manages and services it provides

 

•    ensure policies and regulations under its jurisdiction incorporate climate change considerations and are consistent with Tasmanian and Australian government approaches to adaptation and mitigation

 

•    facilitate resilience building and adaptive capacity in the local community by providing information on local climate change risks and mitigation

 

 

 

 

•    work in partnership with the community, local non-government organisations, businesses and other key stakeholders to implement adaptation and mitigation initiatives contribute appropriate resources to prepare, prevent, respond and recover from detrimental climatic impacts and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”

 

From a City of Hobart risk perspective, the impact of climate change, include catastrophic bush fire, floods, drought leading to threats to life and property, increasing insurance premiums as well as threats to native habitat and loss of terrestrial and marine species biodiversity”

 

 

In February 2019, the council signed off on the City of Hobart Biodiversity Action Plan. A comprehensive and ground-breaking document to guide council operations. The following extract from the introductory pages highlights the issues.

 

Biodiversity Action Plan - bushland and reserves

 

1.1    What is Biodiversity? 

 

Biodiversity - or biological diversity - is a term used to describe the variety of life on Earth. It refers to the number, variety and variability of living organisms (animals, plants, fungi, microbes, etc.), the genetic differences among them, and the ecosystems in which they occur. 

 

Why is protecting Biodiversity important? 

 

Biodiversity provides us with many goods and services, such as food, fuel, medication, materials and clean water. It supports both our economy and our lifestyles. Its beauty inspires and enriches our lives, and we have a moral duty to protect it and ensure its survival (and in the long-term our own survival) for future generations (IUCN, 2018). 

 

No matter how technologically advanced we consider ourselves to be, food, fibre, materials and energy from nature are the foundation of our livelihoods. We rely on the life-supporting ecosystem services that nature provides including the production of oxygen, soil formation and retention, water and nutrient cycling and climate regulation (Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council 2010). 

Today, the principal mechanism for the conservation of biodiversity is protected areas. 

 

A protected area has been defined by the IUCN as ‘[a] clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long-term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values’ (Worboys et al., 2013). 

 

 

 

 

Protected areas and their establishment and professional management are particularly a 20th and 21st-century phenomenon. They are critical for maintaining healthy ecosystems and a healthy environment for people and all other species. They are essential for biodiversity conservation; they deliver clean water and air; they are vital to the cultures and livelihoods of traditional and indigenous communities for sustainable sustenance; they bring sustainable development benefits to millions of people through nature-based tourism; and they are a critical natural solution for climate change. They are also important for their rich history and the cultural associations they conserve including grand historical sites, and their special cultural landscapes, features and sites of spiritual, social and historical significance to a nation’ s peoples. 

 

The City of Hobart Bushland Unit has direct responsibility for the management of nearly 4,600 hectares of ‘protected areas’ within our Bushland Reserves system within and adjacent to the Hobart municipal area and is the stronghold for much of the City’s biodiversity.

 

City of Hobart Vision 

 

Since September 2017, the City of Hobart has been collaborating with community members and stakeholders to share what they love about Hobart and how they would like to see it move into the future. Hobart: A community vision for our island capital is the document that guides City’s work. 

 

The Vision has three parts which work together to inform the City’s strategic planning: the vision statement, the identify statements and the pillars. 

The connection to the natural environment is at the forefront of this Vision with the recognition that we all live, work and play in the midst of our mountain, our river and the land around us. Our identity in Hobart is shaped by where we live, a place where we are deeply connected to nature and wilderness, in, around and above our city. 

 

The natural environment pillar represents what Hobart communities would like to see for Hobart in the future and is represented by the following statement: 

 

We are a city whose people see ourselves as part of a beautiful and unique natural environment, from the mountain to the river, which embrace us and shape our identity. We are proud custodians and advocates, ensuring resources are appreciated rather than wasted, supporting biodiverse ecosystems in honour of past, current and future generations.

 

 

The City of Hobart is extremely well-placed to make a difference to biodiversity in our region as we operate at the appropriate scale to make decisions, carry out actions and measure change. In their report, Beyond roads, rates, and rubbish: opportunities for local government to conserve native vegetation, Binning et al (1999) writes: 

 

 

 

Whilst strategic policies may be developed by higher levels of government, it is Local Government that must make detailed decisions that balance ongoing development with the need to protect natural resources. It may be argued that Local Government is the most significant sphere of government in regulating land use.

 

 

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 City of Hobart’s Corporate Climate Adaptation Policy.”

 

 

Harvey

Sherlock

The motion lapsed due to the lack of a quorum.

 

The General Manager noted that the item will be listed on the next City Planning Committee agenda in accordance with the Council policy.

 

 

 

 

 

16.      Trans and Gender-Diverse Posters in Public Convenience Facilities

            File Ref: F19/51117

Ref:    Open PRC 7.1, 9/05/2019

 

Councillor Ewin

Motion:

“PART A

 

That the City of Hobart promote its Community Safety Commitment to community inclusion through the display of trans and gender-diverse posters in the City’s public convenience facilities, as part of its current public facilities safety information program, with the wording and content of the posters being developed in collaboration with relevant organisations (such as Working It Out and Transforming Tasmania).

 

PART B

 

A further report be provided in relation to installing the posters within the City’s public convenience facilities on a more permanent basis.”

 

 

Rationale:

 

“Trans and gender-diverse people are the targets of significant discrimination in their day-to-day lives which is one of the reasons they have been identified as a priority population in the City of Hobart’s Community Safety Commitment.  This ongoing discrimination, harassment, and at times violence, contributes to continued social exclusion, stigmatisation and negative mental health outcomes. You can access some horrifying statistics on LGBTI mental health here; most of which are directly linked to social exclusion and stigmatisation.

 

It is timely for Hobart City to show support and solidarity with the queer community given the levels of gendered vitriol prevalent in public discourse, sparked by the recent debate around birth certificates and forced divorce in State Parliament.

 

In line with our commitment to our Community Vision values of inclusivity, accessibility and celebrating diversity, installing such signs will contribute to the safety and sense of belonging of some of the most marginalised people in our community.”

 

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 the proposal aligns with the City of Hobart’s Community Safety Commitment and the public facilities safety information program.”
