            PLN-19-397 - File Ref: F19/127540

Ref:    Open CPC 7.1.1, 30/09/2019

Application Expiry Date: 10 October 2019

Extension of Time: Not applicable

 

That pursuant to the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997, the Council refuse the application for a Marina at Franklin Wharf Hobart for the following reasons:

 

1.      The Tasmanian Heritage Council has given notice (THC works reference 5959 dated 12 September 2019) that the application should be refused.

 

2.      The proposal does not meet clause 7.3.2 (Cultural Resource Principles) dot point 1 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the proposal does not facilitate development which is compatible with conservation of the Cove's cultural heritage values.

 

3.      The proposal does not meet clause 7.3.2 (Cultural Resource Principles) dot point 3 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the proposal compromises the recognisable historic character of the Cove.

 

4.      The proposal does not meet clause 21.2 (a) (Objectives and Performance Criteria for Activities) of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because it does not protect and promote public awareness of Sullivans Cove as a unique example of an historic Australian waterfront, or demonstrate that it will provide a positive contribution to the character of the Cove's historic waterfront environs.

 

5.      The proposal does not meet clause 21.2 (f) of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the development is not sympathetic to the low scale bulk and height characteristics of the Cove floor and does not respect the cultural heritage of buildings, structures and spaces in the Cove.

 

6.      The proposal does not meet clause 22.4.5 dot point 1 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the building or works does not complement or contribute to the cultural significance, character and appearance of the place or its setting.

 

7.      The proposal does not meet clause 22.4.5 dot point 2 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the building or works is not in compliance with the conservation strategy of an approved Conservation Plan when required.

 

8.      The proposal does not meet clause 22.4.5 dot point 3 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the location, bulk and appearance of the building or works adversely affect the heritage values of the place of cultural significance.

 

9.      The proposal does not meet clause 22.4.5 dot point 5 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the building and works are individually prominent.

 

10.    The proposal does not meet clause 23.6.2 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because it is inconsistent with dot points one and four of clause 23.2 because the traditional urban pattern of Sullivans Cove will not be conserved, and the expression of the Wall of the Cove will not be encouraged.

ADVICE

Motions of which notice has been given

 

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

That in accordance with Council’s policy, the following Notice of Motion which was adopted by the City Infrastructure Committee at its meeting of 25 September 2019, be considered by the Council.

10.      Underground Rivulet Commuter Network

            File Ref: F19/124773

Ref:    Open CIC 7.1, 25/09/2019

Alderman Tanya Denison

Motion:

 

“(i)     That a report be prepared to consider the merits or otherwise of utilising Hobart’s underground rivulet as a pedestrian and / or bicycle commuter route;

          and;

 

 (ii)    In its assessment of the concept, the Council considers the potential of working with institutions such as schools, colleges and universities to develop research projects for students to address the challenges and develop technical, innovation, social and economic models and solutions.”

Rationale:

 

“The demand for Hobart’s roads and footpaths is increasing as more people live, work, learn and socialise in the inner city. Pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles are increasingly competing for finite space. Given the constraints on the ground level to physically increase the area available for travelling, the consideration of novel approaches to creating alternative commuter connections that are convenient and inviting is warranted. This motion suggests the idea of studying the potential for utilisation of the convenient routes offered by Hobart’s underground rivulet.

The underground route of the Hobart Rivulet could offer enormous opportunities for connecting key locations within the city. An example of four possible entrance locations, marked as A, B, C and D, are shown in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1: Possible Rivulet Access Locations

There are other locations where the rivulet may be accessed, but these four examples provide an illustration of the range of potential locations of entrances, and how popular city destinations may be connected.

 

Location A

 

The rivulet is exposed for segments between the start of the Linear Park track, Molle St and across Barrack St, becoming enclosed near Liverpool St in the block between Barrack and Harrington St. As shown in Figure 2, the exposed rivulet runs adjacent to a variety of buildings in the city.

 

Figure 2: The open rivulet between Liverpool, Harrington, Collins and Barrack Streets

 

Location B

 

The rivulet runs underneath the Cat and Fiddle Arcade with parts of the lower floor of the building built into the rivulet void. Figure 3 shows a view from inside the underground rivulet of an area apparently used for storage at the rear of a shop within the arcade.

 

  

Figure 3: The Rivulet below the Cat and Fiddle Arcade

 

 

 

 

Location C

 

A now enclosed bridge (Wellington Bridge) is visible from the rivulet under the Elizabeth St Mall as shown in Figure 5.

 

Figure 5: The Rivulet below Elizabeth St Mall

 

Location D

 

A segment of the rivulet is exposed alongside the Royal Hobart Hospital, running adjacent to Collins St between Argyle and Campbell Streets.

 

Assessment

 

Evaluating and designing the route will be informed by a range of disciplines. While the concept poses technical (eg ventilation, travelling surface, flood monitoring and escape routes) and financial challenges, it will also require a range of focussed assessments such as legal (land ownership, access and zoning) and economic (creating new business opportunities and revenue opportunities for Council, but potentially reducing existing street pedestrian traffic). There is scope for new design and innovation to enhance user amenity such as heating, lighting, air quality and user experience. Gathering this information presents a range of opportunities for students and institutions to develop connections with Council and learn about the operation of the city, while developing practical skills.

 

The Hobart Rivulet has not always been treated carefully by the city and its residents. This project presents the opportunity for the people of Hobart to understand the critical ongoing role of the rivulet, and appreciate its existence as a serene connection through the busiest parts of our city.”

 

 

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 Hobart Rivulet.”
