9.1 Councillor Ewin - Costs of Maintaining kunanyi / Mount Wellington File Ref: 13-1-10 |
|
|
|
Question: (a) Does the State Government provide any form of funding toward maintaining the Park, or is the cost borne exclusively by the City of Hobart? (b) Is there any way we can recoup any of these costs, since, as I understand it, kunanyi / Mount Wellington is the most visited tourism site in the state; especially when other sites such as Freycinet or Cradle Mountain receive huge amounts of state and federal funding? Answer: The Director City Amenity took the question on notice. |
|
9.2 Lord Mayor Reynolds - Parking on kunanyi / Mount Wellington File Ref: 13-1-10 |
|
|
|
Question: (a) Could the Director please advise as to how the investigations are going into the introduction into some more formal organisation of paid parking at The Springs and/or the Pinnacle?

Answer: The Director City Amenity took the question on notice. |

9.5 Councillor Ewin - City Cleansing Salaries File Ref: 13-1-10 |
|
|
|
Question: I understand from conversations with the Director that our City cleansing work is done by about 50% in-house workers, and 50% contracted workers. I am interested to know the wages paid to these workers, as I understand the cost to the City is approximately equal between in-house and contracted work. (a) Which company or companies does the City of Hobart contract for cleansing and other work? (b) Do the companies directly employ the workers who provide these services, or is it subcontracted out? (c) Can the Director provide information as to the take-home wages for the workers who provide these services, comparing our in-house staff to contract workers? Answer: The Director City Amenity took the question on notice. |
