2. Confirmation of Minutes

The minutes of the Open Portion of the City Planning Committee meeting held on Monday, 4 October 2021, 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 Chief Executive Officer.

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 Chief Executive Officer 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.

City Planning Committee Meeting

Page 279

18/10/2021

REPORT TITLE: Petition to Rezone 21, 21B and Part of 21A Enterprise Road, Sandy Bay

REPORT PROVIDED BY: Development Planner

Director City Planning

1. Report Purpose and Community Benefit

1.1. The purpose of this report is to consider a petition presented to Council at its meeting of 6 September 2021, calling for Council to rezone 21, 21B and part of 21A Enterprise Road, Sandy Bay from General Residential to Low Density Residential.

1.2. This report benefits the community by considering the appropriate zoning of land.

2. Report Summary

2.1. In response to the petition to rezone land at 21, 21A and 21B Enterprise Road, it is proposed that a report be prepared to further analyse whether or not a planning scheme amendment should be initiated.

2.2. The proponents of the rezoning consider that the site is too constrained to be suitable for development at general residential densities, as supported by a Council report prepared in 2006 (the Mount Nelson Planning Review 2006).

2.3. Commencement of a further report to consider the rezoning will be dependent on the timing of additional staffing resources.

3. Recommendation

That:

1. A report analysing the zoning of 21, 21B and part of 21A Enterprise Road and recommending whether to initiate a planning scheme amendment to rezone the land from General Residential to Low Density Residential be prepared.

4. Background

4.1. A petition calling for Council to rezone 21, 21B and 21A Enterprise Road, Sandy Bay from General Residential to Low Density Residential was presented to Council at its meeting of 6 September 2021 (Attachment A).

4.2. The petition contained 208 signatures, and requested a planning scheme amendment be initiated to progress the rezoning.

4.3. Council resolved the following:

That the petition be received and noted and referred to the appropriate Committee.

5. Proposal and Implementation

5.1. The proponents of the rezoning have submitted supporting documentation (Attachment B).

5.2. The proponents’ justification includes that:

5.2.1. The land is not suitable for the dwelling density allowed for under the General Residential Zone as it is steep (approximately 23% gradient), bushfire prone and adjoins a Biodiversity Protection Area;

5.2.2. The constraints of the land mean it is better aligned with a Low Density Residential zoning;

5.2.3. The land was originally zoned ‘Hills Face’ under the City of Hobart Planning Scheme 1982, which aimed to minimise development potential in sensitive landscape areas, constrained areas, or land identified as being topographically difficult to develop;

5.2.4. The Mount Nelson Planning Review 2006 identified the constraints of the land and recommended density restrictions of 1 dwelling per 1500m²;

5.2.5. The draft 2009 planning scheme (which was never implemented) zoned the area ‘Residential 2’, but with an additional control that lots over 1000m² would be subject to the provisions of a Bushland Values Schedule which controlled building form and vegetation removal;

5.2.6. In 2011, the site was rezoned to ‘Residential 2’ under the City of Hobart Planning Scheme 1982, which was still in operation. Under this scheme, a dwelling density of 1 dwelling per 750m² applied to sites with a slope over 20% gradient.

5.2.7. The ‘Residential 2’ zoning was translated from the 1982 scheme into the current Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, however the density provisions for this zone (1 dwelling per 325m²) are the same for the entire zone, regardless of slope or other factors;

5.2.8. It is considered that the specific considerations for this site under previous studies were lost incrementally over time.

5.3. There may be some merit in the justification provided by the proponents.

5.4. Planning scheme amendments relating to individual parcels of land require the consent of all affected landowners. In the absence of this consent, an amendment can only be progressed by the planning authority.

5.5. In order to adequately consider a rezoning however, further analysis would need to be completed.

5.6. Current resourcing constraints preclude immediate further investigation into this amendment.

5.7. It is proposed that a further report analysing the zoning of 21, 21A and 21B Enterprise Road be prepared when adequate resources are available. This report will recommend whether or not a rezoning amendment should be initiated.

5.7.1. The timing of this report will be dependent on additional staffing resources.

6. Strategic Planning and Policy Considerations

6.1. The objectives of the Capital City Strategic Plan 2019-2029 would be considered in a further report.

7. Financial Implications

7.1. Funding Source and Impact on Current Year Operating Result

7.1.1. Resources may need to be diverted from other projects.

7.2. Impact on Future Years’ Financial Result

7.2.1. None.

7.3. Asset Related Implications

7.3.1. None.

8. Legal, Risk and Legislative Considerations

8.1. If an amendment were to be initiated, it would be processed in accordance with the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993.

9. Environmental Considerations

9.1. A further report would consider any environmental considerations.

10. Social and Customer Considerations

10.1. The proposal is not likely to have any direct impact on social inclusion.

10.2. The views of affected landowners would need to be considered if a rezoning is pursued.

11. Marketing and Media

11.1. There are no marketing or branding implications arising from this report.

12. Community and Stakeholder Engagement

12.1. Community consultation will take place if an amendment is initiated.

12.2. Procedural fairness will also dictate engagement with the current owner at the time of progressing any analysis and certainly if any amendment is proposed to be initiated.

REPORT TITLE: Central Hobart Precincts Plan Discussion Paper

REPORT PROVIDED BY: Manager City Futures

Director City Planning

1. Report Purpose and Community Benefit

1.1. The purpose of this report is for Council to consider endorsing the release of the Central Hobart Precincts Plan Discussion Paper (Attachment A) for consultation with key stakeholders and the community.

1.2. The Central Hobart Precincts Plan (CHPP) project benefits the community by helping to ensure that future development, public infrastructure provision funding and public realm improvements in Central Hobart are guided by an appropriate planning framework.

2. Report Summary

2.1. Under the City Deal, the City of Hobart and State Government have agreed to prepare a precincts plan for Central Hobart.

2.2. The CHPP Discussion Paper has been prepared to outline the next stages of the process of preparing the precincts plan and introduces a strategic framework for the purpose of seeking feedback on potential future directions that could inform the policy direction in the precincts plan. It also provides detail on proposed precincts which have been identified for detailed future planning about which feedback will also be sought.

2.3. A COVID-19 Economic, Demographic Study by Hill PDA and paper by SGS Economics & Planning on Development Contributions for Shared Infrastructure, prepared as background for the discussion paper, will be released at the same time as the discussion paper.

2.4. An overview of the engagement that will occur including a launch planned for 26 October 2021 is also provided.

3. Recommendation

That the Council endorse the release of the Central Hobart Precincts Plan Discussion Paper at Attachment A for consultation with the community.

4. Background

4.1. On 4 March 2019 the Minister for Planning, the Hon Roger Jaensch, wrote to the Council to offer a pathway forward on both the issue of building heights within Hobart and progressing the City Deal strategic approach to urban growth through the development of comprehensive precinct plans.

4.2. The Minister subsequently followed this offer up with a discussion with elected members on 8 April 2019, where he tabled an indicative scoping document developed between officers of the Council and the State Government.

4.3. At its meeting on 15 April 2019, the Council considered a report on the outcomes of the meeting with the Minister and the scope of work for the preparation of a precincts plan. Council agreed to work with the State Government to prepare a Terms of Reference and detailed work program including a proposed allocation of tasks, funding and in-kind contribution for a Central Hobart Precincts Plan (CHPP) for the area of the city as outlined in Attachment B to item 3.1 of the Special Open City Planning Committee agenda of 15 April 2019.

4.4. In June 2019 the Council endorsed a project brief for the CHPP.

4.5. In March 2020 a Baseline Report and an Economic, Demographic and Employment Study was issued jointly by the City of Hobart and State Government with information about the current state of Central Hobart. The Your Say website asked for feedback from the community on the Baseline Report and how they would like Central Hobart to be in 2041.

4.6. An online survey and mapping tool was launched, and community workshops planned. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the workshops didn’t go ahead and the engagement wasn’t as extensive as hoped.

4.7. Concerns about transport and access was the dominant theme in the feedback. The community also commented on housing affordability, heritage and open spaces, access to services, shopping and jobs, and the importance of vibrancy in the city.

4.8. The community feedback from 2020 and on the current discussion paper will inform the preparation of a precincts plan which is planned to be released to the public for further consultation in the first half of 2022.

4.9. Other studies have been undertaken in 2021 to inform the CHPP project including:

4.9.1. a COVID-19 update to the Economic, Demographic and Employment Study prepared by Hill PDA

4.9.2. a paper by SGS Economics & Planning on Development Contributions for Shared Infrastructure

4.9.3. a study of potential built form outcomes for key blocks in Central Hobart (in progress) and a broader capacity analysis across Central Hobart covering the potential gross floor area yield for current planning provisions and those proposed in the Woolley Report and whether these provide sufficient floor area to meet projected commercial and residential needs.

5. Proposal and Implementation

5.1. The CHPP Discussion Paper outlines:

5.1.1. the reason for a precincts plan, the process for its development and what we have heard from the community so far

5.1.2. background about Central Hobart and expected future trends

5.1.3. an overview of what is influencing change in Central Hobart

5.1.4. a strategic framework that will guide the preparation of the precincts plan. It includes city-shaping goals, ideas for change and potential future direction. The city-shaping goals articulate potential future directions for Central Hobart as it grows over the next 20 years. Focusing on the goals will enable the City of Hobart to guide growth, to ensure the city develops in a way that builds on what is already special and valued.

5.1.5. proposed Central Hobart precincts - to provide an emerging framework for future growth and development according to the potential for each place, and to target place-specific policies. The discussion paper suggests that for Central Hobart, in addition to a Central precinct (sometimes called the CBD), four future ‘urban neighbourhoods’ are areas for potential renewal and revitalisation.

5.2. When drafted, the precincts plan is to include clear implementation mechanisms and the discussion paper states that these may include:

5.2.1. changes to planning scheme provisions

5.2.2. changes to Council rates and charges

5.2.3. capital investment and ongoing operating funding by the City of Hobart in works, buildings, events, marketing and services that support the precincts plan

5.2.4. advocating to the State Government for changes to legislation or funding arrangements and priorities.

Memorandum: City Planning Committee

Sustainable Building Program

This memorandum is written in response to a Council resolution from its 15 December 2014 and 27 July 2015 meetings, namely:

“That: 1. The Council consider the development of a Sustainable Building Program based on Environmental Upgrade Finance (EUFs) in collaboration with the Tasmanian Government;

2. A detailed report for the Council’s consideration, including the segmentation study and business case, be prepared on the Sustainable Buildings Program, based on EUFs by June 2015;

3. A further report be prepared providing data on the uptake of EUFs in other cities; and

4. A report be prepared on the merits of the Council joining the Green Building Council of Australia along with the 49 of local city councils that have joined this organisation, that provides networks, training and capacity for the private and public sectors understanding sustainable building work.”

Environmental Upgrade Finance is available in some Australian states where the owner of a property enters into an Environmental Upgrade Agreement, which creates an agreement between a commercial property owner, an installer, a lender, a Council and (usually) a facilitator company, of which the best known is the Better Building Finance group.

The owner of the property would generally engage an installer to scope and quote on works to improve the environmental performance of an existing building. A lender is then found to provide finance for the project. If the project is approved by the lender and the local Council, the parties sign an Environmental Upgrade Agreement (EUA)

The lender then advances funds to the installer.

Once the funds have been dispersed, a fixed Environmental Upgrade Charge (EUC) is included with all future rates notices until the lender has been repaid. All repayments are made directly through Council, through a rates levy paid by any building owner who has signed an EUA. The Council is then responsible for making repayments to the finance provider.

Currently, Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia have passed the legislation to offer environmental upgrade agreements.

Around Australia, about 30 Councils are members of the Better Building Finance group. Available figures suggest these Councils promoted on average two projects each in 2018 through the scheme, worth around $300,000 per project. Updates beyond 2018 are not available.

The Tasmanian State Government has not approved or legislated for an EUF program in Tasmania which is a significant impediment to Council pursuing this particular action as a means of promoting sustainable building practices in Hobart.

A number of effective and immediate options for the City of Hobart to promote sustainable building practices exist, and these will be presented to Council as part of the continued rollout of the Sustainable Hobart Action Plan (SHAP).

In particular, a wide-ranging program to pursue Community Targets is presently being formulated under the SHAP, which would include opportunities for sustainable built environment projects working with local groups such as Sustainable Living Tasmania, Tasmanian Way, Architects Declare and others.

On the issue of the Green Building Program, Council is now a member of this organisation and officers will invite that body to assist in planning the built environment outcomes under the SHAP.

REcommendation

That:

1. An Environmental Upgrade Finance (EUF) program not be pursued as a means of promoting sustainable building practices in Hobart at this time.

2. The information in relation to the Sustainable Hobart Action Plan community targets initiative be received and noted.
