4.      Be certified by a suitably qualified engineer.

 

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved detailed design.

 

Advice:

Once the detailed design has been approved you will need to contact Council’s City Infrastructure Division to obtain a Permit to Construct Public Infrastructure for any alterations to the public infrastructure. 

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure the protection of the Council’s hydraulic infrastructure.

ENG 1


The cost of repair of any damage to the Council's infrastructure resulting from the implementation of this permit, must be met by the owners within 30 days of the completion of the development or as otherwise determined by the Council.  Any damage must be immediately reported to Council.  

A photographic record of the Council's infrastructure adjacent to the subject site must be provided to the Council prior to any commencement of works. 

A photographic record of the Council’s infrastructure (e.g. existing property service connection points, roads, buildings, stormwater, footpaths, driveway crossovers and nature strips, including if any, pre-existing damage) will be relied upon to establish the extent of damage caused to the Council’s infrastructure during construction. In the event that the owner/developer fails to provide to the Council a photographic record of the Council’s infrastructure, then any damage to the Council's infrastructure found on completion of works will be deemed to be the responsibility of the owner.

Reason for condition

Reason for condition

To ensure that the proposed additions and alterations to the building are contained within the title boundaries and do not encroach onto Sandy Bay Road, Maning Avenue or the adjoining properties.

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, by-laws, 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.

 

CONDITION ENDORSEMENT


If a condition endorsement is required by a planning condition above, you will need to submit the relevant documentation to satisfy the condition via the Condition Endorsement Submission on Council's 
online services e-planning 


Where building approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation for condition endorsement be submitted well before submitting documentation for building approval. Failure to address condition endorsement requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.

Once approved, the Council will respond to you via email that the condition has been endorsed (satisfied). Detailed instructions can be found 
here

STRATA TITLING ADVICE

 

A portion of the existing old service station canopy and the south-eastern support pillar for the canopy could be located within land comprised in CT 249129/1. While this land is administered by Council as part of the Maning Avenue statutory highway it is owned by The Perpetual Trustees and Agency Company of Tasmania Limited.

 

If the applicant intends strata titling the development the encroachment of the support pillar within CT 249129/1 will prevent strata titling as a registered surveyor will be unable to certify the strata plan under section (5)(4) of the Strata Titles Act 1998. This section requires a strata plan to be endorsed with a certificate of a registered surveyor certifying that the building or buildings shown on the plan are within the boundaries of the site or that any encroachment beyond those boundaries is properly authorised according to law. The portion of road that the support pillar encroaches upon, (if this is the case) will not be able to be closed and transferred to the owner of 479 Sandy Bay Road as Council do not own the land.

MOTION CARRIED

AYES

Motion:

 

“A report be prepared on the following:

 

1.    Whether the UNESCO Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach would have value in managing identification, assessment and consideration of Hobart’s Heritage Precincts in the planning process;

 

2.    The progress to date on the City’s Heritage Precincts approach;

 

3.    The capacity to use GIS and other data to determine any correlation between heritage precinct areas and real estate values (using perhaps one or two precincts for comparison) as one of a suite of useful tools to overcome negative perceptions of heritage listing;

 

4.    Further opportunities for appropriate briefings for Council with a relevant professional on the HUL approach; and

 

5.    The capacity for a pilot program based on the City of Ballarat learnings for a community consultation on a Heritage Precinct level, and methodology for selecting the most appropriate pilot Heritage Precinct.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rationale:

 

“Planning development applications over the past twelve months have revealed public concerns over the implications of Heritage Precincts in the City of Hobart Interim Planning Scheme in residential areas.  Negative media comment and certain actions by developers on heritage listing and precincts needs to be countered with evidence and a positive learning approach for property owners in heritage precinct areas.

 

The City of Ballarat’s implementation of the UNESCO Historical Urban Landscape principles provides a model for understanding and communicating the benefits of Heritage Precinct listings from both the viewpoint of City Planners and property owners.  In particular, Susan Fayad from the City of Ballarat provided a good overview of the understanding of, and the level of assessing its value to residents, of heritage at the 2017 LGAT Conference, and this presentation was also received favourably at the Tasmanian Heritage Council (pers. comm. Council briefing).  It is the three questions asked then that could elicit the level of appreciation and value from property owners in Heritage Precincts:

 

What do you love about it?

 

What do you imagine for it?

What do you want to see retained?

 

At the same time, by asking these questions, it provides an opportunity for Council to communicate with these residents the importance of Heritage Precincts and what they may want to see reflected in Heritage Precinct documentation.

 

Given that there has been some work currently being undertaken on Heritage Precincts, and given the upsurge in interest in heritage matters currently being expressed in the community, it is timely to consider the relevance of the HUL process for the City of Hobart’s Heritage Precincts and how it can add value in communicating the value of heritage precincts between property owners and Council’s Planners.

 

Cognizant of the current visioning process for the City, as well as other consultation processes occurring around the City, a small pilot project in an area of the City where there are significant conflicts over heritage would provide guidance for both residents and planners as to what values have meaning and the level at which these values exist to support an area being declared a Heritage Precinct..

 

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 Council’s role as a Planning Authority.”
