2.       Confirmation of Minutes

 

The minutes of the Open Portion of the City Planning Committee meeting held on Monday, 29 June 2020, are submitted for confirming as an accurate record.

 

 

 

 

 

3.       Consideration of Supplementary Items

Ref: Part 2, Regulation 8(6) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

Recommendation

 

That the Committee resolve to deal with any supplementary items not appearing on the agenda, as reported by the General Manager.

 

 

4.       Indications of Pecuniary and Conflicts of Interest

Ref: Part 2, Regulation 8(7) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

 

Members of the committee are requested to indicate where they may have any pecuniary or conflict of interest in respect to any matter appearing on the agenda, or any supplementary item to the agenda, which the committee has resolved to deal with.

 

5.       Transfer of Agenda Items

Regulation 15 of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

 

A committee may close a part of a meeting to the public where a matter to be discussed falls within 15(2) of the above regulations.

 

In the event that the committee transfer an item to the closed portion, the reasons for doing so should be stated.

 

Are there any items which should be transferred from this agenda to the closed portion of the agenda, or from the closed to the open portion of the agenda?

 

6.       Planning Authority Items - Consideration of Items With Deputations

 

In accordance with the requirements of Part 2 Regulation 8(3) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the General Manager is to arrange the agenda so that the planning authority items are sequential.

 

In accordance with Part 2 Regulation 8(4) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the Committee by simple majority may change the order of any of the items listed on the agenda, but in the case of planning items they must still be considered sequentially – in other words they still have to be dealt with as a single group on the agenda.

 

Where deputations are to be received in respect to planning items, past practice has been to move consideration of these items to the beginning of the meeting.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

That in accordance with Regulation 8(4) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the Committee resolve to deal with any items which have deputations by members of the public regarding any planning matter listed on the agenda, to be taken out of sequence in order to deal with deputations at the beginning of the meeting.

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.

 

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

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.

 

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure the safety of users of the access and parking module, and compliance with the relevant Australian Standard.

 

 

ENG 3b

 

The access driveway and parking module design must be submitted and approved, prior to the issuing of any approval under the Building Act 2016.

1.      Be prepared and certified by a suitably qualified engineer,

2.      Be generally in accordance with the Australian Standard AS/NZS2890.1:2004,

3.      Where the design deviates from AS/NZS2890.1:2004 the designer must demonstrate that the design will provide a safe and efficient access, and enable safe, easy and efficient use, and

4.      Show the crossover as 5.5m wide, and 7.5m wide including transitions

 

 

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 driveway and parking module, and that it does not detract from the amenity of users, adjoining occupiers or the environment by preventing dust, mud and sediment transport.

 

 

 

ENG 11

 

 

Prior to the commencement of use, the proposed crossover to the Whelan Crescent highway reservation must be designed and constructed in general accordance with:

 

 

1.      LGAT Standard Drawing ­ Urban ­ TSD­R09­v1 – Urban Roads Driveways and TSD R14­v1 Type KC vehicular crossing

2.      LGAT Standard Drawing ­  Footpath ­ Urban Roads Footpaths TSD­R11­v1

 

Advice:

 

Local Government Association (LGAT) Tasmanian Standard Drawings (TSD) can be viewed electronically via the LGAT Website.

 

It is advised that designers consider the detailed design of the crossover, 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.

 

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.

 

You are likely to require a Permit to Open Up and Temporarily Occupy a Highway (for work within the highway reservation). Click here for more information.

 

Reason for condition

 

 

In the interests of vehicle user safety and the amenity of the development.

 

ENG 1

 

 

Any damage to council infrastructure resulting from the implementation of this permit, must, at the discretion of the Council:

 

 

1.      Be met by the owner by way of reimbursement (cost of repair and reinstatement to be paid by the owner to the Council); or

2.      Be repaired and reinstated by the owner to the satisfaction of the Council.

 

 

A photographic record of the Council's infrastructure adjacent to the subject site must be provided to the Council prior to any commencement of works.

 

 

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.

REcommendation

That pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for partial demolition, alterations and extension at 32 DE WITT STREET BATTERY POINT TAS 7004 for the following reason:

 

 

1       The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause  E 13.7.1  A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015  because the proposed demolition of the original rear structural wall, associated window and openings would result in the loss of fabric and form that contribute to the cultural heritage significance of the place, and it has not been demonstrated that:

 

a)      there are, environmental, social, economic or safety reasons of greater value to the community than the historic cultural heritage values of the place;

b)      there are no prudent and feasible alternatives;

c)      important structural or façade elements that can feasibly be retained and reused in a new structure, are to be retained;

d)      significant fabric is documented before demolition.

Memorandum: City Planning Committee

 

Proposed Changes to Delegations to Determine Development Applications

 

Updated Memorandum

 

Elected Members will recall that an earlier version of this memorandum was considered by the City Planning Committee on 15 June 2020 and the item was deferred by the Council on 22 June 2020 for further consideration. 

 

This memorandum:

·        includes the alternative proposals by the Deputy Lord Mayor; and

·        includes an additional delegation to allow the General Manager and Director City Planning to make a determination of an application in circumstances where the Council has not been able to make a determination due to a tied vote.

 

The earlier version of this memorandum is replaced by this memorandum.

 

Background

 

Reference is made to the resolution made by the City Planning Committee on 28 October 2019, that:

 

2.      Council officers further investigate delegation options for planning applications in relation to:

(i)      Officer delegations;

(ii)     City Planning Committee delegations; and

(iii)    Council delegations.

 


 

The current delegations have been reviewed.  A table is attached (Attachment A) which summarises both the existing and proposed delegations to:

1.      the General Manager;

2.      the Director City Planning;

3.      the Manager Development Appraisal;

4.      the Manager Planning Policy and Heritage; and

5.      the Senior Statutory Planner.

 

The table shows:

 

·        existing delegations in black text;

·        proposed delegations in red text; and

·        alternative proposed delegations by the Deputy Lord Mayor in blue text.

 

The broad difference between the proposed delegations by the Director City Planning and the Deputy Lord Mayor is that the Director has proposed further delegations to the General Manager, his role and Council officers, while the Deputy Lord Mayor proposes further delegations to the Committee.

 

Summary of Proposed Delegations

 

The proposals are, in summary:

 

1.      Representations: Increase the number of representations which would trigger the consideration by the Council:

 

(a)     Currently, where there are three (objecting) representations and a recommendation for approval, the application may be determined by the Committee. It is proposed:

 

(i)   by the Director – where there are five (objecting) representations, the application may be determined by the City Planning Committee and if there are four or less, the application may be determined by the General Manager, Director or Council officers; and

 

(ii)  by the Deputy Lord Mayor  – where there are three to five (objecting) representations, the application may be determined by the Committee (with no change to the delegations to the General Manager, Director or Council officers).

 


 

(b)     Currently, a development application with four or more representations opposing a proposal must be determined by the Council – it is proposed by both the Director and the Deputy Lord Mayor to increase this to six or more (objecting) representations.

 

2.      Council Applications: Applications which are made by the Council are currently all determined by the Council.  It is proposed:

 

(a)     by the Director – if there are no (objecting) representations, the application would be determined by the General Manager, Director or Council officers;

 

(b)     by the Deputy Lord Mayor – if there are no (objecting) representations, the application would be determined by the Committee; and

 

(c)     there is no change proposed by the Director or the Deputy Lord Mayor if there are any (objecting) representations – the application would continue to be determined by the Council.

 

3.      Council Land: Applications which are made in relation to Council land are currently all determined by the Council.  It is proposed for applications made in relation to the road reservation:

 

(a)     by the Director – if there are four or less (objecting) representations, the application would be determined by the General Manager, Director or Council officers or if there are five or more representations then the application would be determined by the Council; and

 

(b)     by the Deputy Lord Mayor – these applications would be determined by the Committee unless recommended for refusal.

 

4.      Subdivisions: Subdivisions are currently determined by the Council where there is a proposal for more than one new lot.  It is proposed:

 

(a)      by the Director – this is increased to more than three lots for the Council and otherwise determined by the General Manager, Director or Council officers; and

 

(b)      by the Deputy Lord Mayor – one new lot would continue to be determined by the General Manager, Director or Council officers and all others to be determined by the Committee.

 

5.      All recommendations for refusal (where time allows) are still to be determined by the Council, and the Elected Members still maintain the right to call any application in to be determined by the Council. 

 

The proposed delegations by the Director are attached (Attachment B). 

 

The proposed delegations by the Deputy Lord Mayor are attached (Attachment C). 

 

Impact of Director’s Proposed Delegations

 

An analysis has been carried out which suggests that this may decrease the number of applications considered by the Council by half. The proposed changes to the delegations is not expected to remove particularly contentious applications. 

 

As an example, of the 7 applications determined by the Director under the expanded COVID-19 delegation over a 2 month period, 5 of those would be able to be determined under the proposed delegations:

 

·    2 where the Council was the applicant;

 

·    3 where the applications related to Council land; and

 

·    1 application which attracted 3 representations.

 

Delegation for Tied Vote

If the Council has considered an application but has not made a decision, as a result of a tied vote, the Director City Planning will make a decision which follows the recommendation of the Council’s officers. 

 

There is no change proposed to this process, except a new delegation is proposed to apply specifically in this circumstance.  The delegation which is currently relied upon in this scenario relies on the statutory time frame expiring and the Director making a determination prior to the applicant making an application to the Resource Management and Planning Appeal Tribunal pursuant to section 59.  If a section 59 application is made before the Director makes the determination then the Council faces the risk of costs of an appeal to the Tribunal.  The additional proposed delegation removes this risk and allows the Director to make a determination before the expiry of the statutory time frame. 

 

Power to Delegate

 

The power to make delegations is contained in s.6(3) of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 (LUPAA), which states:

 

A planning authority may, by resolution, delegate any of its functions or powers under this Act other than this power of delegation to a person employed by the authority.

 

The relevant power which would be delegated is the power to grant a planning permit pursuant to s.57 of LUPAA (discretionary permits) and s.58 of LUPAA (permitted permits), where certain requirements are met.

 

REcommendation

That:

1.   The Council, pursuant to section 6(3) of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993, delegate the functions and powers detailed in Attachment B to this report. 

 

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.
