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

MOTION CARRIED

VOTING RECORD

COMMITTEE RESOLUTION:

Motion:

“That a report be prepared into the development of a usable model of projected population and economic growth of the Greater Hobart region.

This modelling tool is to be integrated into Hobart City Council planning, infrastructure, strategy development and decision-making.”

Rationale:

“We as a council are being asked to make significant decisions on planning and infrastructure matters without proper information on the projected population and economic growth of Hobart. We need this information readily in order to future-proof our decisions for our community. In light of the housing crisis, climate change and the significant growth Hobart has already undergone in recent years, it is poor governance to consider things like implementing a height limit or moving the university into the CBD without knowing what the future requirements of our city are.”

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 developing a tool to inform decision making.”
