MOTION CARRIED

VOTING RECORD

COMMITTEE RESOLUTION:

That pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the City Planning Committee, in accordance with the delegations contained in its terms of reference, approve the application for partial demolition, alterations and extension, at 393 Huon Road South Hobart 7004 for the reasons outlined in the officer’s report attached to item 7.1.2 of the Open City Planning Committee agenda of 8 August 2022 and a permit containing the following conditions be issued:

GEN

The use and/or development must be substantially in accordance with the documents and drawings that comprise PLN­22­63 ­ 393 HUON ROAD SOUTH HOBART TAS 7004 ­ Final Planning Documents except where modified below.

Reason for condition

To clarify the scope of the permit.

ENG sw4

The new stormwater connection must be constructed and existing abandoned connections sealed by the Council at the owner’s expense, prior to the first occupation.

Detailed engineering drawings must be submitted and approved as part of an application for a new stormwater connection, prior to the issuing of any approval under the Building Act 2016 or commencement of works (whichever occurs first). The detailed engineering drawings must include:

1.      the location of the proposed connection;

2.      the size of the connection appropriate to satisfy the needs of the development; and

3.      the long section of the drainage system to address the proposed charge system works properly with the designed driving head.

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved detailed engineering drawings.

Advice:

The applicant is advised to submit detailed design drawings via the Council’s City Life Division’s application for a new stormwater connection. If detailed design to satisfy this condition is submitted via the planning condition endorsement process there may be fees associated with the assessment, and once approved the applicant will still need to submit an application for a new stormwater connection with the Council’s City Life Division.

Where building / plumbing approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation to satisfy this condition is submitted well before submitting documentation for building/plumbing approval. Failure to address planning condition requirements prior to submitting for building/plumbing approval may result in unexpected delays.

Reason for condition

To ensure the site is drained adequately.

ENG 5

The number of car parking spaces approved to be used on the site is number two (2).

Reason for condition

To ensure the provision of parking for the use is safe and efficient.

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.

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:

For further guidance in preparing a Soil and Water Management Plan – in accordance with Fact sheet 3 Derwent Estuary Program click here.

Reason for condition

To avoid the sedimentation of roads, drains, natural watercourses, Council land that could be caused by erosion and runoff from the development, and to comply with relevant State legislation.

ADVICE

The applicant is encouraged to install some screening for the new window in the south–eastern side of the extension.

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.
