5.1      Mr Brian Corr - Woolley Report - General Directions

 

Mr Corr put the following question and was provided with the corresponding response by the Lord Mayor.

Question:

Could the City please confirm that the general directions of the Woolley Report are still a determinant, particularly absolute maximum height limits in a number of zones, plus the protection of Hobart’s heritage, view-lines, and streetscapes?

 

Response:

The draft Central Hobart Precincts Structure Plan (PSP), which follows the Central Hobart Precincts Plan Discussion Paper (October 2021) as you quoted Mr Corr, continues to consider and take note of the thinking and analysis provided in the Building Height Standards – Review Project by Leigh Woolley (June 2018).

The building height review is informing the development of appropriate built form controls and guidelines, which will form part of the draft PSP documents.

The built form controls and guidelines incorporate and balance a number of considerations such as amenity for building occupants, views and vistas to the surrounding landscape, responding to heritage listed properties, improved ground floor activation and amenity for the city centre streets and accommodating the potential for residential and employment uses for a more prosperous city. All seeking to shape central Hobart into a better place that accommodates change in a manner that responds to our distinctive place character.

The final plan and schedule of easements must provide easements to the satisfaction of the Council:

Over any existing water or sewer mains passing through the lots on the final plan, in favour of TasWater. The easement over the DN300 mm water main must be a minimum of 6.0 m wide.
Over the existing creek line along the lower boundary of Lot 1, in favour of Hobart City Council. This easement must extend a minimum 3m from the centre of the creek.

SURV 12

Lot 2 on the final plan is to be notated in accordance with the provisions of section 83(5)(a)(ii) of the Local Government (Building & Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1993, to the effect that the Hobart City Council cannot provide a means of gravity reticulated stormwater disposal from the North-Western corner of the Lot.

The final plan must be submitted for approval by the Council. The final plan must be notated to the satisfaction of the Council.

The owner’s Registered Land Surveyor must supply an indicative level on State Datum defining the area in the north-western corner of Lot 2 practicable to be drained by gravity , taking excavation depth and minimum grade of any future private pipes into consideration.


Reason for condition
To ensure that the restriction in the Council’s ability to provide a means of gravity reticulated stormwater disposal is noted on the final plan.

ENG 14

Services to each lot must be designed and installed to meet the needs of existing and future development, prior to the sealing of the final plan.

Detailed engineering drawings must be submitted and approved prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016 or the commencement of work on the site (whichever occurs first). The drawings must be certified by a suitably qualified and experienced engineer and must:

1.     be generally in accordance with Local Government Association of Tasmania: Tasmanian Municipal Standard Drawings (May 2020), as varied by the Council’s published departures from those Drawings, and Tasmanian Subdivision Guidelines (October 2013);

2.     clearly distinguish between public and private infrastructure;

3.     show the final lot boundaries, with each lot serviced separately by Council infrastructure

4.     demonstrate all existing private stormwater (including any onsite disposal and surface runoff) is contained within each lot;

5.     show lot stormwater connections to public infrastructure on Smithurst Avenue draining the lower parts of the existing driveways;

6.     show in plan and long-section the required stormwater connections, including but not limited to, clearances from structures, boundaries and other services, cover, grade, sizing, material, and a private boundary transition structure (ie pit or IO);

 

All work required by this condition must be constructed in accordance with the approved engineering drawings. All services must be installed prior to the sealing of the final plan.

 

Advice:

Council cannot locate records of approved onsite disposal for some of the existing development on the sites.  The applicant must demonstrate that no concentrated runoff or soakage from these works would likely leave the lot boundaries. Council is particularly interested in the buildings along the Northern boundary of 17 Smithurst and the driveway of 11 Smithurst.

Council notes the public infrastructure system has limited receiving capability for drainage of existing and future development. 

ENG 16

Prior to the sealing of the final plan, private sewer, stormwater (including surface drainage and onsite disposal) and water services/connections are to be entirely separate to each lot and contained wholly within the lots served.

Reason for condition
To ensure that each lot is services separately.

ENG 17

Prior to the sealing of the final plan, the developer must verify compliance with condition ENG 16 by supplying the Council with an as-installed services plan clearly indicating the location and details of all relevant services (entirely contained within their respective lots or appropriate easements). The as-installed services plan must be accompanied by certification from a suitably qualified person that all engineering work required by this permit has been completed.

Advice:

Any final plan submitted for sealing will not be processed unless it is accompanied by documentation by a suitably qualified person that clearly certifies that this condition has been satisfied and that all the work required by this condition has been completed. A 'suitably qualified person' must be a Professional Engineer or Professional Surveyor or other persons acceptable to Council.

Reason for condition
To ensure that the Developer provides the Council with clear written confirmation that the separation of services is complete.

Ref:    Open CPC 7.1.8, 19/09/2022
