The environmental site assessment by GES Geo Environmental Solutions, 2 Derwent Lane, April 2017 demonstrates that there are elevated levels of heavy metals present in the soil of 2 Derwent Lane, Battery Point. Ongoing use of the site as a residential premise should consider the inherent risks with dermal exposure to the elevated levels of lead and other heavy metals in the soil. To ensure minimal risk to ongoing site users the appropriate installation of sealed surfaces should be considered across the site and the growing of fruit trees, vegetable gardens and the keeping of poultry avoided in order to minimize risk to human health.

9.1      Re-Appointment of a State Architect

BURNET

That in accordance with Council’s policy, the following Notice of Motion which was adopted by the City Planning Committee, be considered by the Council.

MOTION CARRIED

VOTING RECORD

Motion:

“That in the interest of good design for our city, region and state, the Council call upon the state government to reinstate the position of State Architect.”

Rationale:

“There is a government architect in each Australian state, with the exception of Tasmania. According to Wikipedia, citing the Government Architects’ Network Australia,  “although their role differs from state to state, it generally includes the general objective to improve the design of public buildings and spaces and to enhance the quality of the built environment.”

The position of State Architect was held by Peter Poulet from 2009-January 2012. On his resignation to take up the position of State Architect for New South Wales, the position was not filled and then later abolished by the Liberal Hodgman government when they were elected.

During his tenure as Tasmanian State Architect, Peter Poulet produced three documents which were particularly relevant to Hobart. The Draft Sullivan’s Cove Plan was an important blueprint for much of the development that has occurred around Sullivan’s Cove. http://www.stors.tas.gov.au/au-7-0023-00221$tv the Hobart capital city plan 2011-2040, and Liveability development principles (draft) http://www.stors.tas.gov.au/au-7-0095-05609

Currently there is much that needs to occur to ensure good planning and design for our city, region and state. The need for oversight of outcomes that provide good public infrastructure as part of other development should not be underestimated.

Without a State Architect, there is no clear coordination of these things which shape our future. The use of roads, and the River to accommodate transport options, designing for schools, car free areas, public spaces, catering for shifting demographics with the university’s greater presence in the city, are complex aspects of our city and regions that should be properly considered and designed.

The Minister for Planning introduced the Tasmanian Planning System, which is still being implemented, there has been significant public concern about building heights in Hobart, Macquarie Point has not been effectively developed, and there is an unprecedented amount of housing and commercial development across the state.

There has been a void in coordination and strategic direction. At this critical point in Tasmania’s land use, with so many pressures from interests, it is s time to reinstate the position of state architect to apply high level strategic thinking to the issues that Tasmania needs to ensure are sustainable.”

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 planning in general and the Council’s role as a Planning Authority.”
