VOTING RECORD

The minutes were signed.

The Lord Mayor presented two original art prints titled Stepping Forward by Artist Alan Mansell.

The artwork was commissioned for use in the Aboriginal Commitment and Action Plan and provides a strong visual representation of the themes from the engagement process including truth telling, commitment and courage.  The artists statement is included in the Aboriginal Commitment and Action Plan.

Allan Mansell is a celebrated Tasmanian Aboriginal artist who has been working across Tasmania to share Aboriginal culture through the arts.

Council have exclusive rights to this art work for 5 years, and the images will be used to support the work within our Aboriginal programs.

The two prints will be displayed as Council deems appropriate. 

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

Questions:

Less than six months ago, the Council voted to declare a Climate Emergency. At the most recent Council meeting, seven members who voted to declare an emergency also voted to investigate three new Sister City relationships, in a debate that included bickering about budget allocations.

Travel to any of the three cities under consideration will involve more than three tonnes of carbon emissions, per person.

Do elected members truly believe we are in climate emergency and, if so, why are they not taking steps to reduce their own flight-related carbon emissions?

Do the elected members accept that City relationships involve far more than international flights, and can exist without them?

Response:

Elected members opt to travel when there is a strong reason to do so and only if the budget allows.

Based on previous experience, the city, on average, visits its sister or friendship city every three and a half years. 

Any visit requires a decision made by the Council, and an appropriate budget being available. All Elected Members must stay within a $6,000 per 4 year term allocation for sister city engagement.

Whether the Council has two sister cities or six sister cities, the budget allocated to Elected Members does not change.

From experience built from managing international relationships, the oldest of which is 42 years, the Council believes that face to face contact cannot always be replaced by other forms of communication for four reasons:

1.    Travelling to a sister or friendship city is a strong demonstration of commitment to the relationship which results in investment in projects and school connections.

2.    In travelling to a place, elected members and officers are able to understand it more deeply than via desk research.

3.    Meeting fellow officers and elected members face to face helps to develop trust and strong working relationships.

4.    Tools such as Skype, Webchat and email are used to bridge the gap between visits but given cultural and language barriers, emails, skype and webchat can create confusion and delays, all of which can be overcome quickly in person.

Having said this, the vast majority of inter-state and international Council business is undertaken via correspondence, telephone, video-conferencing, or local meetings wherever possible.

In the case of many of our sister city relationships – much of the activity and connection is built through the work and projects of community groups, schools and businesses from both cities finding common ground. In many cases Council simply provides the framework for these connections.

When flying is considered appropriate for Elected Members, it often represents just a small fraction of the time and effort invested into the relationship.

When isolated as a single activity, yes there is no doubt that flights do create carbon emissions, but so do many activities. For example driving a car is another activity that Elected Members do as part of their work. It is estimated that a typical passenger car emits 4.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

I have no doubt that Elected Members who are concerned about climate change weigh up all of these issues before making a decision to fly nationally or internationally. Once you are aware of the impact of climate change, there are many decisions you make every day where you weigh up the strategic impact of the action and whether the carbon emissions can be justified.

Elected Members are able to opt to purchase carbon offsets for their flights booked through Council. While some people are rightly concerned about the value of carbon offsets invested in tree planting projects, there are a number of flight offset providers who provide investment in energy and transport projects that meet the international Gold Standard (see - https://www.goldstandard.org).

While offsets will never be the same as not flying at all, they are a credible alternative for the business traveller who has made an assessment that the face-to-face journey is strategically important.

Mr Lohberger then put the following supplementary questions which the Lord Mayor took on notice.

Questions:

Will the tool being developed to measure benefits of sister city relationships include a section that measures the specific benefit or not, of international delegations?

Is it true that one of the sister cities investigated, before this matter came before Council, offered an e-relationship that involved no flights?

9.1      19 Plaister Court, Sandy Bay - Change of Use to Visitor Accommodation

Ref:    Open CPC 7.1.1, 9/12/2019

Application Expiry Date: 12 January 2020

That pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for change of use to visitor accommodation at 19 Plaister Court Sandy Bay for the following reasons:

1.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect clauses A1 and P1 of Planning Directive 6 ­ Exemption and Standards for Visitor Accommodation in Planning Schemes because the visitor accommodation use is not compatible with the character and use of the area, and causes an unreasonable loss of residential amenity having regard to (c) the scale of the use and its compatibility with the surrounding character and uses within the area.

Advice: Under section 23 of the Urban Drainage Act 2013 it is an offence for a property owner to direct stormwater onto a neighbouring property.

Reason for condition

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

ENG sw4

Any new stormwater connection must be constructed and existing abandoned connections sealed by the Council at the owner’s expense, prior to issue of a Certificate of Completion or the first occupation, whichever occurs first.

Detailed engineering drawings must be submitted and approved, prior to commencement of work. The detailed engineering drawings must be check and certified by a qualified and experienced engineer and include:

1.     the location of the proposed connection(s) and all existing connection(s);

2.     the size and design of the connection appropriate to satisfy the needs of the development given the limited receiving capacity of Council infrastructure;

3.     long­sections of the proposed connection clearly showing any nearby/crossing services, cover size, material and delineation of public and private infrastructure; and

4.     clarification between public and private infrastructure;

ENG 2a

Prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first), vehicular barriers compliant with the Australian Standard AS/NZS1170.1:2002 must be installed to prevent vehicles running off the edge of an access driveway or parking module (parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) where the drop from the edge of the trafficable area to a lower level is 600mm or greater, and wheel stops (kerb) must be installed for drops between 150mm and 600mm. Barriers must not limit the width of the driveway access or parking and turning areas approved under the permit.

Advice:

The Council does not consider a slope greater than 1 in 4 to constitute a lower level as described in AS/NZS 2890.1:2004 Section 2.4.5.3. Slopes greater than 1 in 4 will require a vehicular barrier or wheel stop.
