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.

REPORT TITLE: Regional Strategy - Adapting to a Changing Coastline in Tasmania

REPORT PROVIDED BY: Senior Climate Change Officer

Director City Life

1. Report Purpose and Community Benefit

1.1. The purpose of this report is:

1.1.1. To advise of the recent release by the Southern Tasmanian Councils Authority (STCA) of the draft ‘Regional Strategy – Adapting to a changing coastline in Tasmania’ (the Strategy) (Attachment 1 and Attachment 2) and to seek Council’s endorsement of the Strategy.

1.1.2. For the City to apply the Strategy’s principles to the development of a series of integrated hazard management plans for Hobart coastal and riverine catchments, subject to its endorsement.

1.2. The Strategy’s focus is on supporting local government in responding to and managing increased coastal hazards across southern Tasmania, due to climate change impacts and sea level rise.

1.3. The City of Hobart is developing an integrated response to increased and coincidental coastal hazards which will align to, and implement the Strategy and its principles.

2. Report Summary

2.1. The ‘Regional Strategy – Adapting to a changing coastline in Tasmania’ (the Strategy) has been prepared by the STCA in collaboration with the Greater Hobart councils: Clarence City, Glenorchy City and Kingborough.

2.2. The Strategy is explicit to local government’s coastal roles and responsibilities; their management of coastal assets, infrastructure, and areas under their jurisdiction; and development and strategic planning purposes. It uses a risk management approach informed by a suite of local government specific coastal hazard management principles.

2.3. The Strategy has been prepared through the STCA’s climate program led by the City of Hobart. The STCA’s climate program includes Clarence, Glenorchy and Kingborough, along with the 9 southern councils.

2.4. The STCA has released the Strategy for endorsement by southern councils and for information to north and north eastern councils and government and non-government stakeholders. To date it has been favourably received with a number of councils endorsing, requests being received for ‘final’ copies and the Cradle Coastal Authority requested to use it to inform their coastal response.

2.5. Aligned to the Strategy and its principles the City of Hobart is preparing integrated hazard management plans for its coastal and riverine catchments. The Strategy’s principles provide a cohesive framework for informing the City’s response and enable transparency around key stakeholder roles and responsibilities.

3. Recommendation

That:

1. The Council endorse the Southern Tasmanian Councils Authority’s ‘Regional Strategy – Adapting to a changing coastline in Tasmania’ (Attachment A and Attachment B) and advise the STCA of its resolution; and

2. The Council apply the Strategy’s coastal management principles to the development of a series of integrated hazard management plans for Hobart’s coastal and riverine catchments

4. Background

4.1. The STCA recognises the challenges to local government in responding to climate change risks and the need for clear guidance and coordination on a consistent approach to support their management.

4.2. Increasingly communities expect local government to take a ‘climate’ lead in providing solutions and taking action. They are also seeking to transfer risk or share risk, associated with climate impacts/accelerated natural hazards as can be seen by recent bushfires, floods and coastal erosion events across Australia. In response the STCA’s climate program has led in the development of harmonised climate responses to support councils and build their capacity to respond. This includes the development of the Strategy to manage coastal risk and support local government responses.

4.3. Southern Tasmania has 3263 km’s, or more than 40%, of the States coastline. It covers 10 municipal areas from Glamorgan Spring Bay to Huon Valley councils, including the shoreline of the Derwent Estuary and the City’s 17 km’s of coastline. It is highly variable and includes numerous offshore islands, along with embayments, estuaries, open back shorelines, rocky coastlines and coastal cliffs that are exposed to climate risk and hazard.

4.4. The southern coastline land tenures range from private through to public with the majority being with the Crown. It has the highest concentration of settlement as well as large numbers of places of cultural heritage significance. It provides significant habitat for native fauna and flora, including 4 RAMSAR listed wetlands, 27 wetlands listed on the Directory of Important Wetlands. There are over 120 community groups caring for its, coastal areas and cultural heritage.

4.5. Coastal hazards, including inundation and erosion, resulting from natural processes can cause considerable damage to communities, industries and infrastructure. These are being magnified by climate change and sea level rise, presenting significant risk to southern Tasmanian communities and economies, and have the potential increase local government exposure to litigation if they are not appropriately managed.

4.6. The STCA has long identified the need for the development of a coastal strategy to support councils to develop responses aligned to their corporate functions, service delivery and municipal boundaries to support thriving and resilient communities.

4.7. The Strategy is built around the principles of:

4.7.1. Public safety

4.7.2. Private property

4.7.3. Local government

4.7.4. Legal risk and adaptation

4.7.5. Coastal management and planning and

4.7.6. Coastal Values

4.8. The Strategy’s core coastal principles facilitate transparency and consistency specific to the key roles and responsibilities of Tasmanian councils. However, importantly it is not prescriptive, enabling flexibility for councils to develop local responses particular to their circumstance and resources.

4.9. The City intends to apply the Strategy’s principles to its coastal climate program to prepare integrated hazards management plans for its coastal and riverine catchments. The principles will inform the development of its responses to managing coastal impacts and engage with its local coastal communities to assist them in understanding local impacts and identify key responses.

5. Proposal and Implementation

5.1. It is proposed that:

5.1.1. The draft Strategy is endorsed by the City of Hobart

5.1.2. The City notify the STCA of its resolution

5.1.3. The City’s development of a series of integrated hazard management plans for Hobart’s coastal and riverine catchments is aligned to the Strategy’s principles.

5.2. In terms of the City’s coastal & riverine catchment hazard response it is intended that it undertake a series of engagements to inform and work with communities to understand local coastal and riverine values/hazards and build their resilience and preferred adaptation pathways to manage and mitigate risk.

5.3. This would include 10 coastal and riverine engagements: one for the overall municipality’s coastline and a series of 9 for its coastal catchment compartments. Each engagement will consider local integrated, cascading, compounding and coincidental risks; and includes the development of infographics & digital stories, as well as final reports and implementation plans.

5.4. The coastal compartments are based on sections of coast that share contiguous characteristics: geomorphology, coastal development, processes and or other values; as follows:

5.4.1. (1) New Town Bay: New Town Rivulet to Cornelian Bay Point

5.4.2. (2) Cornelian Bay: Cornelian Bay Point to Pipe Clay Point

5.4.3. (3) Queens Domain Coastline: Domain Shipyards to Battery Point

5.4.4. (4) Macquarie Point and Sullivans Cove: Domain Shipyards to Battery Point

5.4.5. (5) Battery Point Coast: Battery Point to Sand Bay Rivulet

5.4.6. (6) Marieville Esplanade Sandy Bay Rivulet to Lords Beach

5.4.7. (7) Nutgrove & Long Beach: Red Chapel Beach to Blinking Billy Point

5.4.8. (8) Derwent Water: Lords Beach to Red Chapel Beach

5.4.9. (9) Porter Hill Coastline: Blinking Billy Point to Cartwright Creek

5.4.10. (10) Hobart’s coastline: New Town Rivulet to Cartwright Creek.

5.5. To support this work the City has already undertaken a series of ‘coastal’ studies. On coastal vulnerability and coastal values which will provide important background information to the Council’s hazard response.

6. Strategic Planning and Policy Considerations

6.1. The Strategy and the City’s development of integrated hazards management plans for its coastal and riverine catchments furthers key Strategic Planning and Policy considerations as follows:

6.1.1. ‘2022 ELT Strategic Directions’ which includes key actions to enhance the City’s approach to resilience, climate change mitigation and adaptation:

6.1.1.1. Review and update the Council’s Hobart Coastal Hazard Study and finalise Action Plan

6.1.1.2. Continue to support the STCA and its regional climate change initiatives

6.1.2. ‘City of Hobart 2021- 2022 Annual Plan’:

6.1.2.1. 6.4 Hobart is responsive and resilient to climate change and natural disasters.

6.1.3. City of Hobart Strategic Plan 2019 – 2029’ that includes over 20 climate actions that focus on increasing the City’s understanding of its climate exposure and vulnerability and developing resilience and adaptation responses. These action includes:

6.1.4. Pillar 6 Outcomes: 6.4 Hobart is responsive and resilient to climate change and natural disasters:

6.1.4.1. # 6.4.1 Adopt a holistic approach to climate change mitigation and adaptation across all pillars of the strategic plan.

6.1.4.2. # 6.4.2 Lead the development and implementation of a regional response to the global climate and biodiversity emergency.

6.1.4.3. # 6.4.3 Provide flexible and timely responses to climate change impacts, risks and hazards.

6.1.4.4. # 6.4.6 Anticipate, map, monitor and manage coastal and land stability hazards.

6.1.4.5. # 6.4.7 Map, monitor and manage flood risks and impacts.

6.1.4.6. # 6.4.8 Develop and implement resilient infrastructure to deal with extreme weather events.

6.1.4.7. # 6.4.9 Incorporate disclosure of climate change risk into the City’s planning, operations, finances and risk management.

6.1.4.8. # 6.4.10 Increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change through information, programs and other activities.

7. Financial Implications

7.1. Funding Source and Impact on Current Year Operating Result

7.1.1. There is no funding impacts on current or futures year’s budget through the endorsement of the Strategy.

7.2. Impact on Future Years’ Financial Result

7.2.1. A modest allocation is sought through the 2022 – 2023 budget for the City’s coastal & riverine catchment hazard community engagement. The engagement will inform, and work with, communities to understand local coastal values, hazards and build their resilience and preferred adaptation pathways to manage and mitigate risk.

7.2.2. The funding would cover 10 engagements: one for the overall coastline and the 9 coastal catchment compartments. Each will consider local integrated, cascading, compounding and coincidental risk; and includes the development of infographics & digital materials.

7.3. Asset Related Implications

7.3.1. The City’s coastal & riverine catchment hazard project would enable the identification of assets and their exposure and vulnerability to integrated coastal and riverine hazards. This would be the identified through final reporting and inform asset management planning processes.

8. Legal, Risk and Legislative Considerations

8.1. The Strategy includes a principle on Legal Risk and Adaptation. It identifies that ‘as coastal decision-makers, councils need to identify functions and decisions that may give rise to legal risk around climate change adaptation and identify how to manage these legal risks.’ ‘They can be managed by early decision-making and action, based on the best science and consideration of all issues, including both legal and factual/scientific uncertainty.’

8.2. It considers that Legal risk can arise from:

8.2.1. Strategic planning

8.2.2. Public release of hazard risk information

8.2.3. Failure to release hazard risk information

8.2.4. Approval of new development

8.2.5. Construction and maintenance of protective infrastructure

8.2.6. Approval of private coastal protection works.

8.3. It further identifies that there is also a risk of public-law litigation brought by citizens challenging the decisions of government officials. These may involve appeals to planning tribunals that consider the merits of the original decision and either uphold, vary or replace the decision.

8.4. Where merit appeals are not available, limited rights of judicial review may enable citizens to challenge the decision-making process or the criteria applied. If successful, these challenges result in the decision being sent back to the original decision-maker for re-determination; they do not directly result in a decision being overturned or changed.

8.5. The Strategy is designed, if applied, to mitigate the exposure of local government to potential liability for its ‘coastal’ decision making. It clearly articulates role and responsibilities for local government and suggests a transparent and risk based approach.

8.6. The Strategy also aligns to the Tasmanian Governments approach which has adopted the following principles to:

8.6.1. communicate its approach and responsibilities to the management of coastal land; and

8.6.2. underpin its land-use planning and decision-making in coastal risk areas:

9. Environmental Considerations

9.1. This report explicitly addresses climate impacts and hazards associated within the City’s coastal and riverine compartments.

10. Marketing and Media

10.1. Marketing and media considerations associated with the City’s development of an integrated responses to climate impacts associated within the City’s coastal and riverine compartments, will be developed in line with the program.

11. Community and Stakeholder Engagement

11.1. The Strategy has been prepared with input from key stakeholders including:

11.1.1. Tasmanian government:

11.1.1.1. Renewables Climate Future Industries Tasmanian (former Tasmanian Climate Change Office)

11.1.1.2. Natural Resource and Environment Tasmania, Crown Land Services

11.1.1.3. Office of Security and Emergency Management

11.1.1.4. Tasmanian Planning Unit

11.1.2. Port Arthur Heritage Site Management Authority

11.1.3. Southern Tasmanian councils including the Cities of Hobart, Glenorchy and Clarence and the Kingborough Councils

11.1.4. Local Government Association of Tasmania

11.2. The STCA has released it for consultation and information as follows:

11.2.1. Southern Tasmanian councils for (i) comment and (ii) endorsement

11.2.2. North-west and north-east councils for information

11.2.3. Stakeholders, private, non-Government organisations for information

11.3. It has been favourably received and, to date, been endorsed by a number of southern councils. Most recently the Cradle Coast Authority, has written to the STCA applauding it for the development of the Strategy and seeking to use it for their engagement with key stakeholders on the issue.

12. Delegation

12.1. This matter is delegated to the Council.

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.

REPORT TITLE: Significant Tree Nomination - Public Walkway between Beaumont Road and Ruth Drive, Lenah Valley

REPORT PROVIDED BY: Manager City Futures

Director City Life

1. Report Purpose and Community Benefit

1.1. The purpose of this report is to consider one of the nominations for the Significant Tree Register that was received from a member of the community between September and November 2021.

1.2. This report does not consider all nominated trees, only one located at a public walkway between Beaumont Road and Ruth Drive in Lenah Valley, as it is subject to another application.

1.2.1. The significant tree nomination process benefits the community by ensuring that trees of value to residents and visitors are adequately protected.

2. Report Summary

2.1. The proposal is to consider whether the tree at the public walkway between Beaumont Road and Ruth Drive, Lenah Valley should be pursued for listing as a significant tree.

2.2. There were 127 valid significant tree nominations submitted during the public nomination period between 13 September and 8 November 2021.

2.3. Assessment of each of these trees is ongoing; however, the Beaumont Road public walkway is subject to an application to remove this tree.

2.4. Consideration of this tree at an early stage will provide certainty about whether or not the tree is intended to be listed in the Significant Tree Register, and allow Council to assess other matters concerning this tree independently of the nomination.

2.5. The owner of an adjacent lot (43 Beaumont Road) submitted feedback that they do not support the proposed nominations (Attachment A).

2.6. The City’s Tree Assessment Panel assessed the tree against the Significant Tree Assessment Criteria (Attachment B); the panel recommendation is that the tree does not meet the criteria.

2.7. The nominated tree at the public walkway between Beaumont Road and Ruth Drive, Lenah Valley is not recommended for listing as a significant tree.

3. Recommendation

That the nominated tree at the public walkway between Beaumont Road and Ruth Drive, Lenah Valley not be listed as a significant tree in the Significant Tree Register, and the Significant Tree Code of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015.

4. Background

4.1. At its meeting on 18 December 2017, Council considered a report on ‘Significant Trees – Vegetation Management’. One of Council’s resolutions following this report was that:

‘Nominations for additions to the Significant Tree List in the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 be invited through a public process commencing in February 2018 and that in future nominations be sought from the public every 3 years.’

4.2. The previous round of nominations, which commenced in 2018, resulted in the inclusion of 77 additional listings for trees and hedges in the Significant Tree Register.

4.3. Trees that are listed in this register are also inserted into the Significant Tree Code list of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015. Trees on the list are subject to the controls of the Significant Tree Code, which requires that a permit be granted for lopping, pruning, removal or destruction of the tree unless:

· The tree has died of natural causes;

· The works are necessary for emergency access;

· The works are emergency works by a public authority;

· The tree poses an immediate danger to persons or property;

· The pruning of a tree is to improve its health or appearance, provided its normal growth habit is not retarded.

4.4. The current round of nominations was open between 13 September 2021 and 8 November 2021.

4.5. There were 127 valid nominations submitted for individual trees, groups of trees, or hedges. Some of these nominations were made by more than one person.

4.6. Assessment of the nominations is still ongoing. Given the number of nominations received and the detailed assessment process, the assessment is likely to take several months.

4.7. The nominated tree that is the subject of this report is a Eucalyptus viminalis (white gum) on a public walkway between Beaumont Road and Ruth Drive (refer to image and map below).

Location of white gum (red circle) at public walkway between Beaumont Road (to the left) and Ruth Drive (to the right).

4.8. The following background information is relevant to this tree:

4.8.1. The adjacent landowner at 43 Beaumont Road applied to remove this tree as part of the development of a new house (PLN-20-638).

4.8.2. General Manager Consent (GMC-20-68) was provided for the tree to be removed, subject to the applicant funding the removal of the tree, developing a landscaping plan (approved by the City of Hobart) to replace the tree, funding implementation of the landscape plan, and obtaining support from neighbouring properties.

4.8.3. Removal of the tree is exempt from requiring a planning permit, but requires a Public Spaces By-Laws permit.

4.8.4. Further consideration of the removal of this tree was paused pending a decision on whether or not the tree is to be listed as a significant tree.

5. Proposal and Implementation

5.1. The proposal is to determine whether the nominated tree at the public walkway between Beaumont Road and Ruth Drive, Lenah Valley should be listed as a significant tree.

Assessment of Nominated Tree

5.2. A Tree Assessment Panel (the Panel) consisting of a City of Hobart (City) Development Planner, City Program Leader Arboriculture and Nursery, City Cultural Heritage Officer and City Urban Design Officer has assessed the tree.

5.3. The Panel has inspected the tree and made an assessment, based on whether it is considered that the tree meets any of the ten criteria under the Significant Tree Assessment Criteria (Attachment B):

5.4. The nomination and assessment comments are detailed in Table 1 (below).

Table 1

Nominator’s reasons for nomination

Significant Tree Assessment Panel comments

I grew up in Ruth Drive and I have studied the wildlife that live in the local area and in that tree.

Thanks to the subdivision most of the mature local gums have been removed meaning local birdlife and possums have lost important habitat.

I don’t understand why humans think they have the right to remove a beautiful tree just because it drops a few leaves and bits of bark.

The tree is considered to meet category 9 of the Significant Tree Assessment Criteria.

Further supporting documentation was provided by the nominator, provided as Attachment C.

This tree is an attractive feature of a public walkway, and is one of the few remnant trees in a recently subdivided area. However, the tree is not of sufficient age, size, prominence or individual ecological significance to be considered to meet the threshold for listing under the Significant Tree Assessment Criteria.

Category 9 of the criteria states:

Trees that have a significant contribution to the integrity of an ecological community: These trees are remnant native species which provide significant habitat for rare, threatened or locally uncommon or common native species. For example trees that provide breeding and foraging habitat, resting sites and refuge.

While all trees, particularly native trees, provide ecological benefits, the threshold to meet this criteria requires that the tree has an individually significant contribution. This might include trees that have established nesting hollows or are known nesting sites for threatened species. This tree is not considered to individually meet the threshold for listing under this category.

5.5. This recommendation has been made objectively on whether the tree meets the Significant Tree Assessment criteria.

5.6. The panel applies a consistent approach to assessing trees, only recommending those that meet a high threshold of significance.

Consultation

5.7. Two adjacent landowners in Beaumont Road were notified of the nomination of the tree and invited to provide feedback.

5.8. A submission was received from one of the notified landowners (43 Beaumont Road).

5.9. The submission from the landowner of 43 Beaumont Road is provided in full in Attachment A and the comments included the following :

5.9.1. The tree is not a tree of significance;

5.9.2. Two arborists were engaged to provide advice about the tree and both said it is not a tree of significance and it is under stress and declining health.

5.9.3. Signs of distress include:

· the increasing amount of sap seeping out of the tree;

· the bare branches in the canopy and limited amount of foliage;

· the changes to the tree bark and cracks in the tree trunk.

5.9.4. The City’s civil works to construct a footpath caused damage to the tree’s root system and the decline in health is noticeable;

5.9.5. This tree is unsuitable for the built-up residential area with dwellings surrounding it.

5.9.6. The tree needs to be removed and the walkway planted with more suitable trees and shrubs for residential urban areas to make it safer for pedestrians and homes.

5.9.7. In September 2021, the City indicated the tree could be removed subject to a landscaping plan, open space permit and removal by a professional arborist, all at the landowner’s cost. These requests were satisfied and additional information provided.

5.9.8. A planning permit and General Manager Consent were granted to remove the tree.

Panel Response

5.10. In response to this submission, it is noted that the Panel has assessed the tree and determined it does not meet the Significant Tree Assessment Criteria. It is therefore not recommended to be listed as a significant tree.

5.11. The suggestion from the submitter that the City remove the tree has been referred to the Bushland, Biodiversity and Waterways Unit and will be considered separately.

6. Strategic Planning and Policy Considerations

6.1. The proposal is consistent with the objectives of the Capital City Strategic Plan 2019-29, in particular the following outcomes:

6.1.1. Hobart keeps a strong sense of place and identity, even after the city changes;

6.1.2. Hobart’s cityscape reflects the heritage, culture and natural environment that make it special;

6.1.3. In City decision-making, we consider how different aspects of Hobart life connect and contribute to sense of place;

6.1.4. The natural environment is part of the city and biodiversity is preserved, secure and flourishing.

7. Financial Implications

7.1. Funding Source and Impact on Current Year Operating Result

7.1.1. None.

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. The tree is not recommended for listing as a significant tree in the Significant Tree Register and the Significant Tree Code of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015. If the Council supports this, the City’s Bushland, Biodiversity and Waterways Unit will consider the health of the tree and any considerations about removal of the tree.

9. Environmental Considerations

9.1. The proposal considers the contribution this tree makes to the environment.

10. Social and Customer Considerations

10.1. The proposal is not considered to have any negative impact on social inclusion.

11. Marketing and Media

11.1. The significant tree nomination process was promoted to the community through the City News newsletter, Facebook, the City’s website and in an article in the Mercury newspaper.

12. Community and Stakeholder Engagement

12.1. No further community or stakeholder engagement is considered necessary for this proposal.

13. Delegation

13.1. This matter is delegated to the Council.
