That the recommendation be adopted, as amended by the deletion of Alderman Harvey from the substantive voting record of item 5 of the Special Council Meeting minutes of the 12 November 2018.

MOTION CARRIED

VOTING RECORD

The minutes were signed.

3.1      2018 Workplace Conference - Future Work Challenges Conference

The Lord Mayor presented an award received by the City of Hobart the 2018 Worksafe Conference. 

The City of Hobart was a finalist for the category of ‘excellence in work health and safety through the implementation of an integrated systems approach’ and recognises the City of Hobart’s ‘demonstrated commitment to continuous improvement in work health and safety through the implementation of an integrated systems approach’.

3.2      Community Partnership Award

The Lord Mayor presented an award received by the City of Hobart at the recent Colony 47 Community Partnership Awards presentation evening. 

The award acknowledged the support provided by Council for a new initiative through the ‘U Make the Team’ staff health and wellness program for corporate volunteering opportunities for the City of Hobart staff at Colony 47’s Mara House facility

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

Question:

If a neighbour's aggressive dog repeatedly jumped our 6ft boundary fence and chased me out of my backyard, then subsequently attacked my wife and bit her on the face, the dog would be destroyed. But if my neighbour is an urban beekeeper and their bees cause exactly the same problem, there appears to be no such comeback available. I have three questions:

Bee stings kill far more Australians than dog attacks, so why are the regulations governing dog owners in Hobart more prescriptive than those governing urban beekeepers?

DPIPWE has developed a Code of Practice for urban beekeeping in southern Tasmania - can the HCC please amend its current Environmental Health by-law to reflect this Code of Practice, especially section 7.12 that deals with the safety of neighbours when the beekeeper is working their hives?

Can the HCC also amend the by-law to give neighbours the right to veto beekeeping next door if there are regular bee attacks, or if a neighbour has an allergy to bee stings?

[I understand the move to allow urban beekeeping in Hobart was informed by a public consultation process, but I question how people in the city would know about the downsides when urban beekeeping was not allowed previously.]

Code of Practice for Urban Beekeeping in Southern Tasmania, DPIPWE, June 2014:

https://dpipwe.tas.gov.au/Documents/Code%20of%20Practice%20for%20Urban%20Beekeping.pdf

Response:

The Council considers bee keeping as an important activity in food production and if done correctly should not pose a risk to people.

The Code of Practice for urban beekeeping was used to inform the by-law provisions with respect to hive densities, location and barriers.

Consideration was given to the adoption of the entire Code, however many of the provisions could not be adopted due to the inability to describe them as offences. For example, section 7.12 offers best practice advice but any breach would be difficult for council officers to substantiate.

Complaints are followed up by council officers and where necessary expert advice is sought to remedy ongoing concerns. To date, all bee keepers referred to council as a result of neighbourhood concerns have cooperated and achieved mutually agreeable solutions for both parties.

Council receives on average 2 complaints per year about the keeping of bees on private land. Council also receives notification of bee swarms on public land from time to time and refers to the southern beekeepers association for handling and collection.

Council officers are monitoring the effectiveness of the new Environmental Health By-Law 2018 and if there is evidence that the bee keeping provisions are not providing sufficient protection for people then further amendments will be considered. 

Mr Lohberger then asked the following supplementary question which the Lord Mayor took on notice.

How many complaints has the City of Hobart received in relation to bees within the past 8 weeks?
