MOTION CARRIED

VOTING RECORD

The minutes were signed.

The Lord Mayor presented to the Council a Certificate of Appreciation of Council’s support and contribution to the success of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Queen’s Baton Relay.

Mr Ben Lohberger put the following questions and was provided with the corresponding response by the Lord Mayor on behalf of the Council.

Given the lack of verifiable benefits from the UTAS proposal to spend $400 million of public money relocating STEM faculties from Sandy Bay into Hobart CBD, will the HCC consider withdrawing its support for the relocation until UTAS provides the public with evidence to substantiate the many claims it has made about campus relocations?

Alternatively, with no end in sight to Hobart’s housing crisis, will the HCC consider asking for the Hobart City Deal to be amended, so that the $400 million being sought by UTAS for an unnecessary relocation, is instead allocated to building desperately-needed affordable public housing around Hobart and southern Tasmania?

In response to your first question, your assertion that there is a lack of verifiable benefits of the STEM project is not shared by Infrastructure Australia in its assessment of the project.  At this stage the Council’s support is reflective of Infrastructure Australia’s independent assessment. 

In relation to your second question, the need for further investment in affordable housing is acknowledged and is a matter for consideration by the State and Federal Governments to invest further in this pressing need.  The question of funding of the STEM project and what funding is being sought by the UTAS is a matter for UTAS and the State and Federal Governments.

WORK PLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY

Potentially contaminating activities historically occurred on this site. The land has been investigated and assessed for health risks associated with historical contamination. The report 'Additional Environmental Site Assessment and Validation Report' for On Giblin P/L, 'Subdivision 110 Giblin Street (Stages 5­9)' dated October 2017 prepared by JMG Engineers & Planners concludes that the site is suitable for residential use. However, development of the land may uncover undetected and unexpected pockets of residual contamination (such as asbestos or hydrocarbons). It is therefore recommended that appropriate workplace health and safety measures be employed during any earthworks to minimise further the low risk of exposure to any residual contaminants, and that sub­surface conditions are monitored for any unusual materials or evidence of contamination (e.g. soil discolouration or chemical odours) during site works. If unusual materials or potential evidence of contamination are detected during site works, it is recommended that Worksafe Tasmania and/or a suitably experienced and qualified contamination practitioner be consulted for advice. The site may also contain pockets of inert materials (such as rubble, crushed bricks and/or sawdust) that may present aesthetic issues but do not pose any health risk.

WASTE DISPOSAL

It is recommended that the developer liaise with the Council’s Cleansing and Solid Waste Unit regarding reducing, reusing and recycling materials associated with demolition on the site to minimise solid waste being directed to landfill.

Further information regarding waste disposal can also be found on the Council’s website.
