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 sw3
The proposed development including foundations must be designed to ensure the protection and access to the Council’s stormwater main.
A detailed design must be submitted and approved prior to construction. The detailed design must:
1. Demonstrate how the design will provide adequate access to the main, impose no additional loads onto the main and that the structure will be fully independent of the main and its trenching. 2. Include crosssections clearly showing the relationship both vertically and horizontally between Council’s stormwater infrastructure and the proposed works (including footings), and stating the minimum setbacks from the works to the nearest external surface of the main. 3.

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved detailed design.
Advice:
The applicant is required submit detailed design documentation to satisfy this condition via the Council's planning condition endorsement process (noting there is a fee associated with condition endorsement approval of engineering drawings [see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement and for fees and charges]). This is a separate process to any building approval under the Building Act 2016.
Failure to address condition requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.
Reason for condition

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.

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

13. North Hobart Multicultural Festival Proposal - Council Assistance
File Ref: F20/25210; 13-1-9
Alderman Zucco
“That the Council consider providing guidance, assistance and support in facilitating the resurgence of the North Hobart Multicultural street festival in North Hobart, in consultation with the North Hobart Traders and Residents Association, in line with the festivals of the late 1980’s & 90’s.”
|
Rationale:
“During the late 1980’s and 90’s the then North Village association conducted a number of very successful street festivals in the North Hobart Street Precinct.
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances at the time whereby a private operator took over the event which resulted in the event being moved to North Hobart oval the event eventually folded.
Over the past months the North Hobart Traders Association has contacted me to seek Council support to assist in regenerating the North Hobart Strip and the precinct with a festival on similar lines to the previous whereby all traders in North Hobart are the participants in the festival.
On Sunday March 1st the Moreland City Council held the Sydney Road Street Festival which was on similar lines to the original NHO festival. Photos included.
North Hobart is one of Hobart’s premier dining and cultural hubs with a number of multicultural clubs in the area that as in the past play a role in a rejuvenated festival.
The original North Hobart event was held in October and this would again be an appropriate time for a NHO multicultural street festival. Should a committee be set up with Traders and residents I believe as per the Taste operations no elected members partake in any role on any committee or operations of any event should it proceed.”
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 seeks to draw on the Council’s expertise in facilitating events and City activation.”

That in accordance with Council’s policy, the following Notice of Motion which was adopted by the Community, Culture and Events Committee of 27 February 2020, be considered by the Council.
File Ref: F20/17889; 13-1-9
Ref: Open CCEC 7.1, 27/02/2020
Lord Mayor Reynolds / Deputy Lord Mayor Burnet
“That the City of Hobart notes that: · March 8, as International Women’s Day, is an important annual celebration of the economic, political and social achievements of women. · International Women’s Day is also an opportunity to reflect on the past accomplishments, as well as the particular challenges and discrimination that women and girls still face today due to their gender. · The City of Hobart captured some of the achievements and stories of Hobart women in the “Women’s History Walk Project” in 1997, which saw a women’s walk and brochure created with 33 locations and stories.
And requests that the General Manager give consideration to:
· Refreshing and relaunching the Hobart Women’s History Walk through actions that could include reprinting the brochure and transferring the walk locations into an app format. · Considering ways to highlight the stories of Hobart women through the Urban Art Walls project or other public art initiatives.” |
Rationale:
“Hobart’s Women’s History Walk is important in celebrating the role women have played in the creation of modern Hobart. The Walk and its supporting brochure in Her Stride, provides a lasting reminder of how female personalities have shaped Hobart’s history.
It also acknowledges the continued and important presence of Tasmanian Aboriginal women within our community.
The following excerpt is from in Her Stride (brochure attached):
“Within Hobart’s rich history, women have often remained invisible. Identifying places is one way of tracing our fore-mothers footsteps. Those selected have been chosen to reflect the variety of women’s experience. Some of the sites exist as they were, some can be seen behind modern facades, many others have been pulled down and built over.
This route is one of many possible walks. Taken in its entirety, it forms a loop which can be entered at any point. Alternatively, it can be divided into three routes: Macquarie Street, the Wharf/Wapping and City Centre.”
A refresh and relaunch of Hobart’s Women’s History Walk and highlighting stories of Hobart women through public art would bring social benefits such as providing a sense of belonging and pride in the place people live, work or visit.
The stories about our past and the way that we tell those stories about those that have gone before us are important in creating the community that we live in today. By telling those in a creative way will ensure that current and future generations will not forget.
This notice of motion aligns strongly with the goals and outcomes of A Community Vision for our Island Capital, the City of Hobart Social Inclusion Strategy and Public Art Framework 2019.”
Yours faithfully
Councillor Anna Reynolds Lord Mayor

Councillor Helen Burnet Deputy Lord Mayor
|
The General Manager reports:
“In accordance with clause 5 of the Notices of Motion procedures, I provide the following qualification as to whether the substance of this Notice of Motion resides within the jurisdiction of the Hobart City Council as it is in line with Council’s Public Art Framework.
Heritage and Public Art teams can collaborate to review Hobart’s Women’s History Walk, investigating maintenance, repair and potential expansion of the project.
Consideration will also be given to exploring stories of Hobart’s women through future public art projects.”
