5.       Transfer of Agenda Items

Regulation 15 of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

A committee may close a part of a meeting to the public where a matter to be discussed falls within 15(2) of the above regulations.

In the event that the committee transfer an item to the closed portion, the reasons for doing so should be stated.

Are there any items which should be transferred from this agenda to the closed portion of the agenda, or from the closed to the open portion of the agenda?

 

No items were transferred.

 

6.       Planning Authority Items - Consideration of Items with Deputations

 

In accordance with the requirements of Part 2 Regulation 8(3) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the General Manager 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.

 

Where deputations are to be received in respect to planning items, past practice has been to move consideration of these items to the beginning of the meeting.

 

BURNET

 

That in accordance with Regulation 8(4) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the Committee resolve to deal with any items which have deputations by members of the public regarding any planning matter listed on the agenda, to be taken out of sequence in order to deal with deputations at the beginning of the meeting.

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.

 

BUILDING PERMIT

 

Building permit in accordance with the Building Act 2016. Click here for more information.

 

TEMPORARY PARKING PERMITS

 

General Exemption permits for construction vehicles i.e. residential or meter parking/loading zones. Click here for more information.

 

COUNCIL RESERVES

 

This permit does not authorise any works on the adjoining Council land. Any act that causes, or is likely to cause damage to Council’s land may be in breach of the Council’s Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Bylaw and penalties may apply. The by law is available here.

 

Advice from the City of Hobart Parks and Recreation Unit (South Hobart Oval asset manager):

 

·          The front entrance on the northern side of the building should be the main entrance used by Wide Angle and their customers. The rear entrance opens into the oval and kiosk area (access to the ground), for use by oval users. The rear entrance may be used as an emergency exit. Users of the site will require a permit to use space external to the building for any activities.

 

·          Parking pressure within close proximity to the oval during events at the oval (i.e. weekend soccer) is high.

 

·          The Parks and Recreation Unit will be refurbishing the public toilets accessed off Washington Street within the 2017­18 financial year. This will include a DDA compliant toilet and changes to the toilet access. For further information, the applicant can contact Shannon Avery Program Leader Recreation and Projects, on 6238 2956 or averys@hobartcity.com.au. Or Simon Munn (Capital Works Officer) 62382 135 or munns@hobartcity.com.au.

 

·          It is noted that the site plan (titled AIS­17­441­Amended Plan, 21 June) has incorrectly labelled the public toilet facility as 'existing office'.

 

NOISE

 

Click here for information with respect to noise nuisances in residential areas. Wide Angle Tasmania staff and any hirers of the venue are to provide verbal and

signed advice to patrons to leave quietly in the evening.

 

BICYCLE PARKING

 

The provision of bicycle parking spaces in the front external covered area of the 6 Washington St building would assist with the car parking issues and should be actively promoted to visitor / customers of the site.

COMMITTEE RESOLUTION:

Pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for a front fence at 74 Grosvenor Street, Sandy Bay for the following reasons:

 

1     The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.8.2 A4 and P4 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed front boundary fence and gates, by reason of their height and transparency, would have a detrimental impact on those features which contribute to the historic cultural significance of the Golf Links Estate Heritage Precinct (SB6) as set out in table E.13.2 of the Historic Heritage Code.

 

2     The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E6.7.2 A1 and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because .with regard to pedestrian sightlines as outlined under AS/NZS 2890.1:2004 3.2.4, the fence's height and transparency make it unsafe.

COMMITTEE RESOLUTION:

Pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for a multiple dwelling at 61 Quayle Street, Sandy Bay for the following reasons:

 

1          The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause 11.4.2 A1 and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because it would cause an unreasonable loss of amenity by:

 

a)         a reduction in sunlight to a habitable room of a dwelling on an adjoining lot, and,

 

b)         visual impacts caused by the apparent scale, bulk, and proportions of the proposed development when viewed from an adjoining lot.

 

2          The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause 11.4.3 A1(b) and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed dwelling would not have:

 

a)         private open space that is able to accommodate operational needs such as clothes drying and storage, and,

 

b)         reasonable space for the planting of gardens and landscaping.

 

3          The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E6.6.1 A1 and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the number of onsite car parking spaces provided would be insufficient to meet the reasonable needs of users, with regard to:

a)         the high car parking demand in the nearby area

 

b)         the limited availability of on­street and public car parking in the locality, and,

 

c)         the existing car parking deficiency on the site.
