In special cases, where it can be demonstrated that closure of footpaths in the CBD and/or other high volume footpaths can occur for extended periods without unreasonable impact on other businesses or the general public, such closures may only be approved by the full Council.

 

For more information about this requirement please contact the Council's Traffic Engineering Unit on 6238 2804.

 

DRIVEWAY SURFACING OVER HIGHWAY RESERVATION

 

If a coloured or textured surface is used for the driveway access within the Highway Reservation, the Council or other service provider will not match this on any reinstatement of the driveway access within the Highway Reservation required in the future.

 

TITLE ADHESION AND CAR PARKING EASEMENT

 

A building surveyor should consider if there are building requirements that would necessitate the adhesion of the two titles (CT 234896/1 and CT 10357/1) that comprise the development site.

 

The proposed basement car parking extends over the boundary between 6 and 8 Montpelier Retreat and will be partially within the title for 8 Montpelier Retreat. Currently both properties are in common ownership. If the titles are not adhered and if in future one of the titles were to be transferred to a different owner, a limited in height car parking easement will need to be created in favour of No 6 over No. 8 to enable the basement car parking to continue to function. Council will not be able to approve a boundary adjustment that includes a vertical component.

 

WORK PLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY

 

Appropriate occupational health and safety measures must be employed during the works to minimise direct human exposure to potentially­contaminated soil, water, dust and vapours. Click here for more information.

 

WASTE DISPOSAL

 

It is recommended that the developer liaise with the Council’s Cleansing and Solid Waste Unit regarding reducing, reusing and recycling materials associated with demolition on the site to minimise solid waste being directed to landfill.

 

Further information regarding waste disposal can also be found on the Council’s website.

Any departure from that documentation and any works which are not detailed in the documentation must be either:

 

a)      approved by the Director City Life, via a condition endorsement application; or

b)      designed and constructed in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZ 2890.1:2004.

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

Advice:

 

This condition requires further information to be submitted as a Condition Endorsement. Refer to the Condition Endorsement advice at the end of this permit.

 

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 Program Leader Road Services 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.

 

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure that works will comply with the Council’s standard requirements.

 

ENV 1

 

Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to prevent sediment from leaving the site must be installed prior to any disturbance of the site, and maintained until all areas of disturbance have been stabilized or re­vegetated.

ADVICE

 

The following advice is provided to you to assist in the implementation of the planning permit that has been issued subject to the conditions above. The advice is not exhaustive and you must inform yourself of any other legislation, by­laws, regulations, codes or standards that will apply to your development under which you may need to obtain an approval. Visit the Council's website for further information.

 

Prior to any commencement of work on the site or commencement of use the following additional permits/approval may be required from the Hobart City Council.

 

CONDITION ENDORSEMENT

 

If any condition requires that further documents are submitted and approved, you will need to submit the relevant documentation to satisfy the condition via the Condition Endorsement Submission on Council's online services e­planning portal. Detailed instructions can be found here.
