9 Motions of which Notice has been Given

9.1 Planning Scheme Amendments under the Sullivan's Cove and the City of Hobart Planning Schemes - Building Height

File Ref: F17/102575; 13-1-9

BURNET

“That an urgent report be prepared outlining the necessary scheme amendments and the time it would take to set a limit on height to a non-discretionary maximum of 45 metres in the area covered by the City of Hobart Interim Planning Scheme, Central Business, Commercial and Urban Mixed Use Zones, and 18 metres in the area covered by the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme.”

MOTION CARRIED

VOTING RECORD

AYES	NOES
Briscoe	Denison

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

Motion

Rationale:

“There is considerable community concern that both the Sullivan's Cove and the City of Hobart Interim Planning Schemes do not adequately limit building heights for development applications.

Whilst it is expected that further modelling on height standards will be undertaken by Mr Leigh Woolley for the Central Business Zone of the City of Hobart Interim Planning Scheme, this is unlikely to be completed until well into 2018. This means that there is little protection of Hobart's skyline until such work and any future amendment is lodged, and the process completed.

Stipulating the maximum height of developments will guide developers, the public, planning professionals and decision makers who must interpret both current planning schemes operating in the City of Hobart. Absolute building heights can provide greater certainty and less ambiguity on how these should be interpreted.”

The General Manager reports:

“In line with the Council’s policy in relation to Notices of Motion, I advise that the matter is considered to be within the jurisdiction of the Hobart City Council as it relates to the administration of planning schemes.”
