A preconstruction CCTV recording of the Council’s stormwater main within/adjacent to the proposed development, along with photos of any drainage structures to be connected to or modified, must be submitted to Council prior to the commencement of work.
The postconstruction CCTV recording and photos will be relied upon to establish the extent of any damage caused to Council’s stormwater infrastructure during construction. If the owner/developer fails to provide Council with preconstruction CCTV recording then any damage to Council’s infrastructure identified in the postconstruction CCTV recording will be deemed to be the responsibility of the owner.
Reason for condition
To ensure that any of the Council infrastructure and/or siterelated service connections affected by the proposal will be altered and/or reinstated at the owner’s full cost.

The postconstruction CCTV recording and photos will be relied upon to establish the extent of any damage caused to Council’s stormwater infrastructure during construction. If the owner/developer fails to provide Council with preconstruction CCTV then any damage to Council’s infrastructure identified in the postconstruction CCTV will be deemed to be the responsibility of the owner.

1. the location of the proposed connection; and 2. the size of the connection appropriate to satisfy the needs of the development.
All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved detailed engineering drawings.
Advice:
The applicant must submit detailed design drawings via the planning condition endorsement process, and once approved an application for a new stormwater connection must be completed.
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.

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.
Designers are advised to consult the National Construction Code 2016 to determine if pedestrian handrails or safety barriers compliant with the NCC2016 are also required in the parking module this area may be considered as a path of access to a building.
Reason for condition
To ensure the safety of users of the access driveway and parking module and compliance with the standard.

Advice:
It is advised that designers consider the detailed design of the access and parking module prior to finalising the Finished Floor Level (FFL) of the parking spaces (especially if located within a garage incorporated into the dwelling), as failure to do so may result in difficulty complying with this condition.
Once the design has been approved, the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement) Where building approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation for condition endorsement be submitted well before submitting documentation for building approval. Failure to address condition endorsement requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.
Reason for condition
To ensure the safety of users of the access and parking module, and compliance with the relevant Australian Standard.
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.

Please note that your proposal does not include adjustment of footpath levels. Any adjustment to footpath levels necessary to suit the design of proposed floor, parking module or driveway levels will require separate agreement from Council's Road Services Engineer and may require further planning approvals. It is advised to place a note to this affect on construction drawings for the site and/or other relevant engineering drawings to ensure that contractors are made aware of this requirement.

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.
P s3
Prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016 (excluding for demolition) or the commencement of work on the site (whichever occurs first), a landscaping plan for the landscaping of the site must be submitted and approved. The landscaping plan must show:

Memorandum: Council
City of Hobart Elected Members Development and Support Policy - Review of Financial Allocations - Risk and Audit Panel Response
The purpose of this report is to inform the Council of the outcome of a request it made to the Risk and Audit Panel to assess the range of financial allocations for elected member activities and functions, as contained in the Elected Members’ Development and Support Policy.
The request arose as part of the regular review of the Council’s Policy Manual document which was conducted in 2019.
Specifically, the Council requested the Risk and Audit Panel to undertake the following investigations relating to the policy relating to Elected Members’ Development and Support:
1. Assessment of the existing budget allocation for elected members for international relationships, and a recommendation to the Council from the Panel regarding an appropriate allocation; and
2. Consideration and advice to the Council as to the appropriateness of the itemised expenses limits and allocations which are currently contained in the Elected Members’ Development and Support Policy.
The Risk and Audit Panel considered the content of the Policy as it relates to the allocations for international travel, expenses limits and allocations, at its meeting of 5 March 2020. In doing so, the Panel resolved in the following terms:
That the following advice be provided as a special report from the General Manager, to the Council:
1. The Panel receive and note the report provided.
2. The Panel notes the current caps, including elected member international
travel as not being unreasonable.
3. The Panel makes no recommendation about the quantum of the annual budget allocation and notes the process undertaken by Council.
Since this matter was considered by the Council and subsequently the Risk and Audit Panel however, the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved and the Council’s financial position changed considerably. Given the COVID-19 situation and the inability for any safe international travel to occur in the immediate future, all budget allocations for international travel for elected members and staff have been removed from the Budget Estimates.
The Council is awaiting the finalisation of a project to identify a measurement framework to evaluate international relationships, following which a report will be provided for Council’s consideration. The Council may wish to reconsider the allocations contained within the Elected Members’ Development and Support Policy for international travel at this time, should international travel again be considered safe.
|
That the Council note the advice received from the Risk and Audit Panel and, that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the financial allocation for international travel has been removed from the 2020-21 Budget Estimates.
|
As signatory to this report, I certify that, pursuant to Section 55(1) of the Local Government Act 1993, I hold no interest, as referred to in Section 49 of the Local Government Act 1993, in matters contained in this report.
