In accordance with the provisions of Part 2 Regulation 25 of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the intention of the Council to act as a planning authority pursuant to the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 is to be noted.

 

In accordance with Regulation 25, the Council will act as a planning authority in respect to those matters appearing under this heading on the agenda, inclusive of any supplementary items.

 

The Council is reminded that in order to comply with Regulation 25(2), the Chief Executive Officer is to ensure that the reasons for a decision by a Council or Council Committee acting as a planning authority are recorded in the minutes.

That the Council refuse the application for a change of use to visitor accommodation at 7 Cane Street, West Hobart, 7000, pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, for the following reason:

1.   The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E6.6.1 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the provision of no onsite car parking will not meet the reasonable needs of users having regard to car parking demand and the availability of on-street and public car parking in the locality.
