9.2      2 Collins Street and Adjacent Road Reserve Hobart - Demolition and New Development for Visitor Accommodation, Function Centre and Associated Facilities

            PLN-16-1133 - File Ref: F19/2281

Ref:    Open CPC 7.2.1, 14/01/2019

Application Expiry Date: 6 February 2019

Extension of Time: Not applicable

 

That pursuant to the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997, the Council refuse the application for demolition and new development for visitor accommodation, function centre and associated facilities at 2 Collins Street and adjacent road reserve, HOBART for the following reasons:

 

 

1.      The proposed function centre does not meet the Objectives of Clause 15.2 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997, as it:

 

a)      Fails to ensure that the building masses and facades appropriately relate to the spaces they form.

 

b)      Fails to ensure that the proposed non­residential use is based on the amenity and characteristics of specific sites.

 

c)      Fails to ensure that the amenity of or the potential for adjacent residential development will not be diminished.

 

and is therefore considered to be prohibited under clause 15.3.4 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997.

 

2.      The proposal does not meet the performance standards of clause 22.5.5 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997, as:

 

a)      It will dominate adjacent places of cultural significance when viewed from the street or any other public space, and will be more prominent in the street than the adjacent places of cultural significance contrary to the Cultural Resource Principles (Cultural Heritage and Urban Character) of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 espoused in clause 7.3.2.

 

b)      The area of the facade of the new building will exceed that of the buildings on adjacent places of cultural significance and the visual impact of the apparent disparity of scale is significant and historic precedent does not warrant the scale disparity.

 

c)      The proposal fails to complement and contribute to the specific character and appearance of adjacent places of cultural significance and the historic character of the Cove generally.

 

d)      The location, bulk and appearance of the proposed building will adversely affect the heritage values of adjacent and nearby places of cultural significance, by creating an incongruous backdrop out of scale with the present visual setting.

 

3.      The proposal exceeds the 'deemed to comply' height, alignment, plot ratio, apparent size and building surfaces standards of clause 23.6.1A and 23.7.1 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 and in turn fails to meet the objectives of clause 23.2, in that:

 

a)      It fails to conserve the traditional urban pattern of the Cove.

 

b)      Its bulk and height does not reflect the natural topography of the Sullivans Cove Planning Area, the ampitheatre sloping down to the Cove and the Macquarie Street and Regatta Point Ridges.

 

c)      It does not promote a respectful relationship between buildings and to buildings of identified cultural significance within a street.

 

d)      The building will be individually prominent in terms of contrast with neighbouring buildings by being significantly higher or having a larger apparent size when viewed in street elevation.

 

e)      The building does not facilitate the creation of ‘secondary spaces on lots in the Cove.

 

4.      The proposal exceeds the maximum ‘permitted’ height standards and exceeds the standards for apparent size of clause 23.6.1A of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 and does not meet the corresponding discretionary provisions of clause 23.6.2, as it will be more prominent in the streetscape than adjacent Places of Cultural Significance, by strong contrast of scale, height, colour and tone.

 

5.      The proposal does not meet the provisions of clause 28.5 and clause 28.6 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997, as it involves the demolition of a building which (a) contributes to the urban character of the Activity Area, and (b) is capable of continued beneficial use. The proposed demolition will have a detrimental impact on the character of the Activity Area.

 

 

 

Briscoe

Harvey                                                  That the recommendation be adopted.

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.

Amendment

 

Sherlock

That an advice clause B be added that reads:

 

That the Council seek an urgent meeting with both the Department of Communities, the property owner and Anglicare as the property manager to seek a commitment that existing tenants and wider residents in the neighbourhood are consulted through a minimum of two consultations on the proposed management, specifically the permanent withdrawal of the 24/7 security and other changes, prior to the changes occurring, and are fully supported through the implementation process.

 

 

Procedural Motion

Ref:    Open CPC 7.2.3, 14/01/2019

Application Expiry Date: 20 February 2019

Extension of Time: Not applicable

 

That:   Pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council approve the application for partial demolition and alterations for kiosk, and new building for coaches and media boxes at 5 Ryde Street NORTH HOBART for the reasons outlined in the officer’s report attached to item 7.2.3 of the Open City Planning Committee agenda of 14 January 2019 and a permit containing the following conditions be issued:

 

GEN

 

The use and/or development must be substantially in accordance with the documents and drawings that comprise PLN­18­738 ­ 1­5 RYDE STREET NORTH HOBART TAS 7000 ­ Final Planning Documents except where modified below.

 

Reason for condition

TW

 

The use and/or development must comply with the requirements of TasWater as detailed in the form Submission to Planning Authority Notice, Reference No. TWDA 2018/01801­HCC dated 19 November 2018 as attached to the permit.

 

Reason for condition

 

To clarify the scope of the permit.

 

PLN s2

 

The walls of the north elevation of the coaches/media box must be coloured using colours with a light reflectance value not greater than 40 percent prior to the first occupation of the coaches/media box.

 

Revised plans or details satisfying this requirement must be submitted and approved, prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016.

 

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved revised plans.

 

Advice:

 

Once the revised plans have been approved, the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).

 

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.

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure that building design contributes positively to adjoining land in a residential zone

 

 

 

ENG sw2.1

 

The Council’s stormwater infrastructure adjacent to / within the subject site must be protected from damage during the construction of the development.

 

Digital copies of a pre and post construction work CCTV video and associated report(s) of any Council stormwater main within two metres of the works must be submitted to Council:

 

1.    Prior to issue of any consent under the Building Act 2016 / the commencement of work, and

 

2.    After completion of all work but prior to the issue of any Certificate of Completion.

 

The pre and post construction work CCTVs will be relied upon to establish the extent of damage caused to the Council’s infrastructure during construction.  In the event that the owner fails to provide to the Council a pre­construction works CCTV video of the Council’s infrastructure, then any damage to the Council infrastructure identified in the post construction CCTV will be deemed to be the responsibility of the owner.

 

Advice: Due to the diameter of the main, a tractor camera will be required to obtain adequately clear footage.

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure that any of the Council infrastructure and/or site­related service connections affected by the proposal will be altered and/or reinstated at the owner’s full cost.

 

ENG sw3

 

The proposed works (including foundations and overhangs) must be designed to ensure the long term protection of and access to the Council’s stormwater infrastructure.

 

A detailed design certified by a suitably qualified engineer must be submitted and approved prior to issue of any consent under Building Act 2016. The detailed design must:

 

1.    Demonstrate how the design will ensure the protection of and provide access to the Council’s stormwater main.

 

2.    Include certification by a suitably qualified engineer (that the works do not impose any loads on the storm water main and the structure is entirely independent of the main and its trenching).

 

3.    Demonstrate how adequate access to the main is maintained.

 

4.    Demonstrate that no additional loads are imposed on the stormwater main.

 

5.    Demonstrate that the structure is entirely independent of the main and its trenching.

 

6.    Include (but not be limited to) details of cross­sections, minimum separation, adequate cover.

 

Prior to issue of any Certificate of Completion a suitably qualified engineer must confirm the installation of the works within two metres of Council’s stormwater main is in accordance with the approved drawings and complies with this condition. Should any remediation works be required, these must be carried out at the developer’s cost.

 

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

 

Advice: Once the detailed design drawings has been approved the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement)

 

As the proposal does not demonstrate the developers intention around the public stormwater infrastructure this condition is required if works are to occur over or within 2 metres of the public stormwater infrastructure. Relaxation of this condition can only be granted by the environmental engineering unit.

 

Reason for condition

 

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

The access driveway and parking module (car parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) approved by this permit must be constructed to a sealed standard (spray seal, asphalt, concrete, pavers or equivalent Council approved) and surface drained to the Council's stormwater infrastructure prior to the first occupation.

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure the safety of users of the access driveway and parking module, and that it does not detract from the amenity of users, adjoining occupiers or the environment by preventing dust, mud and sediment transport.

ENG 5

 

The number of parking spaces approved on the site is:

 

1.    Fourteen (14) User Class 1A car parking spaces

2.    A minimum number of Class B (AS2890.3) bicycle parking spaces of six (6) [secure tenant parking]

3.    A minimum number of Class C (AS2890.3) bicycle parking spaces of two (2) [visitor parking]

 

Prior to first occupation:

ENG 1

 

Any damage to council infrastructure resulting from the implementation of this permit, must, at the discretion of the Council:

 

1.    Be met by the owner by way of reimbursement (cost of repair and reinstatement to be paid by the owner to the Council); or

2.    Be repaired and reinstated by the owner to the satisfaction of the 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, pre­existing 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

 

To ensure that any of the Council's infrastructure and/or site­related service connections affected by the proposal will be altered and/or reinstated at the owner’s full cost.

 

ENV 2

 

Sediment and erosion control measures, in accordance with an approved soil and water management plan (SWMP), must be installed prior to the commencement of work and maintained until such time as all disturbed areas have been stabilised and/or restored or sealed to the Council’s satisfaction.

 

A SWMP must be submitted prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016 or the commencement of work, whichever occurs first. The SWMP must be prepared in accordance with the Soil and Water Management on Building and Construction Sites fact sheets (Derwent Estuary Program, 2008), available here.

 

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

 

Advice: Once the SWMP has been approved, the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).

 

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.

 

Reason for condition

 

To avoid the pollution and sedimentation of roads, drains and natural watercourses that could be caused by erosion and runoff from the development.

 

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, by­laws, regulations, codes or standards that will apply to your development under which you may need to obtain an approval.

12.      English Language Classes in Hobart

            File Ref: F19/175; 13-1-9

Ref:    Open CCEC 7.1, 9/01/2019

 

Motion:

“That a report be provided to detail the current provision of English language classes in Hobart; to provide examples of services provided in other cities; and to explore the possibilities for increased provision of intensive English language services in Hobart in collaboration with the State Government.”

 

Rationale:

 

Language is one of the most important factors in successful settlement in a new country.  English language proficiency is vital for participation in education, work, feelings of belonging and for involvment in the broader life of the community.  Without adequate language skills, new arrivals can struggle to integrate and contribute to the community.  Students quickly fall behind in their studies; adults struggle to find work; and daily tasks such as shopping and accessing services can prove challenging.  Intensive English language courses upon arrival ensure that migrants and refugees start off their new life with the best possible chance of success. 

 

 

Currently, there appears to be insufficient intensive English language class provision in Hobart upon arrival of new migrants, a deficieny and gap that needs to be addressed within the education system, working with representative groups, advocay agencies and broader English language schools.  It has been reported that conversation classes may not be adequate to address the current demand, nor meet the basic requirements of English education, per national standards and common practice.

The City of Hobart have had a long commitment to advocating for the needs of migrants and refugees in Hobart, delivering on a multicultural strategy since 2009.  The Multicultural Strategy 2014 – 2019 guides current action in three priority areas: Perception, Communication and Participation.  The Community Vision for Our Island Capital includes the following statement:

Pilar 8.4.1 - “We embrace those who have moved to Tasmania from elsewhere and work together for better economic outcomes. We welcome new people into our culture, quality of life and opportunities for meaningful employment.”

 

It is noted that whilst service provision to migrants and refugees is not the mandate of Local Government, advocating for the needs of this community is a key role for Local Government and is in accordance with the City of Hobart’s Multicultural Strategy 2014-2019.

 

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 aligns with the City of Hobart’s Multicultural Strategy 2014-2019.

13.      Social Food Service Delivery

            File Ref: F19/2637

Ref:    Open FGC 7.1, 15/01/2019

 

Motion:

 

That the council urgently review what actions it can take to address the concern from some traders in North Hobart and other traders regarding the growth of social food delivery services (SFDS) and the fact that SFDS vehicles are occupying parking spaces to the detriment of other customers.

 

Rationale:

A number of North Hobart shop owners have raised concerns that drivers operating for a number of social food delivery services are using prime parking spaces to wait for customer orders and therefore restricting the ability of shop customers from utilising the available parking bays. 

The Council has been proactive in helping to alleviate some of the issues and has implemented the following initiatives:

·    A dedicated “food delivery providers” parking zone installed in Burnett Place specifically for the use of social food delivery vehicles.

·    The Council has contacted social food delivery providers including Uber Eats to advise them of the parking zone and requested that they direct their registered operators to the location in Burnett Place when operating in the North Hobart area.

·    Increased patrols from City of Hobart Parking and Information Officers.

·    Negotiated with a private operator to lease land in Lefroy Street to increase parking options for customers.

·    Rolling out new integrated parking system in North Hobart (ex. parking meters) early in the new calendar year.

·    Worked closely with the North Hobart Traders Association on communicating Council initiatives to traders

·    Council Parking and Information Officers being visible and visiting various traders in North Hobart

Despite the good work of the Council, some traders in North Hobart are still complaining about SFDS drivers.

One further initiative may be the State Government implementing a system, similar to Victoria, whereby local regulations require vehicles to be identified as a commercial passenger vehicles. This system, which requires a sticker to be displayed on the passenger side of a vehicle’s front windscreen means that the vehicle is easily identifiable as a social food delivery service vehicle.  If the sticker is not displayed then local authorities will issue drivers with a fine.

The North Hobart area remains one of Hobart’s premier dining locations and the problems which are occurring here are unnecessarily causing issues and it is beholden on the Council and the State Government to explore all options to attempt to rectify the situation.

 

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 relates to the provision of on street parking.”
