VOTING RECORD

The Lord Mayor acknowledged the 10 year anniversary of the devastating L’Aquila earthquake.

The City and L’Aquila have shared a Sister City friendship for over 20 years. As a sign of respect for the on-going plight of the sister city, the Lord mayor proposes that the City sends a letter of remembrance directly to the Mayor of L’Aquila, Mayor Pierluigi Biondi.

That a letter of remembrance be sent directly to the Mayor of L’Aquila, Mayor Pierluigi Biondi.

MOTION CARRIED

VOTING RECORD

The Lord Mayor reported on her attendance at the Local Government Association Tasmania (LGAT) general meeting on Friday 29 March and informed the meeting on the outcome of two motions that were discussed:

·         City of Hobart motion: ‘That LGAT lobby the Australian Government to change the date of Australia Day’ – was lost.

·         A Brighton Council motion regarding charitable rates exemptions resulted in a unanimous decision for Councils to work together to identify ways to deal with the loss of rates revenue as a result of the Southern Cross Homes court decision, and to and develop a working group to look at options to amend the Local Government Act 1993.

Mr Lohberger put the following question and was provided with the corresponding response from the Lord Mayor.

Question:

Two weeks ago the Lord Mayor attended a meeting of Mayors to discuss the urgent issue of climate change. At the same time school children from across Hobart attended a climate strike to express their concerns about the looming climate crisis that’s being driven by excessive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Does the HCC have any concerns about the huge and unnecessary GHG emissions that will occur if UTAS abandons most of its Sandy Bay campus, and then demolishes existing commercial buildings in Hobart before replacing them with new buildings constructed largely out of concrete?

Response:

The University of Tasmania has not determined its future facility strategy at this stage, however, if it was determined that it should relocate the majority of its teaching facilities into the CBD, then it is not clear what the greenhouse gas emission (GGE) implications would be as compared to rebuilding on its current footprint.  The loss of imbedded energy from demolishing buildings needs to be considered along with the GGE from the operation of buildings along with the difference in emissions from accessing the campus either in Sandy Bay or the CBD.  A more holistic assessment of the two options so far as GGE are concerned would be more meaningful.   

Mr Lohberger then asked a supplementary question which was taken on notice:

In December 2017 the Council resolved to investigate the value of Sister City relationships . Sixteen months gave now passed and the Council is now debating new Sister City relationships.

What has happened to that 2017 investigation and when will it be completed?

9.1      1 Nixon Street, Sandy Bay - Partial Demolition, Alterations and Extension (Re-Advertised - Amended Proposal)

Application Expiry Date: 1 April 2019

Extension of Time: Not applicable

That pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council approve the application for partial demolition, alterations and extension (re-advertised – amended proposal) at 1 Nixon Street, Sandy Bay for the reasons outlined in the officer’s report attached to item 7.1.3 of the Open City Planning Committee agenda of 25 March 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 PLN­18­869 ­ 1 NIXON STREET SANDY BAY TAS 7005 ­ Final Planning Documents except where modified below.

Reason for condition

To clarify the scope of the permit.

PLN 2

Screening with no more than 25% uniform transparency and a minimum height of 1.5m above finished surface level, must be installed and maintained along the southern edge of the deck on the upper floor of the addition prior to the first occupation.

Prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016, revised plans must be submitted and approved showing screening in accordance with the above requirement.

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

Reason for condition

To provide reasonable opportunity for privacy for dwellings.

ENG sw1

All stormwater from the proposed development (including but not limited to: roofed areas, ag drains, retaining wall ag drains and impervious surfaces such as driveways and paved areas) must be drained to the Council’s stormwater infrastructure prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first).

Reason for condition

To ensure that stormwater from the site will be discharged to a suitable Council approved outlet.

ENG sw4

The new storm water connection must be constructed and existing abandoned connections sealed by the Council at the owner’s expense, prior to the first occupation.

Detailed engineering drawings must be submitted and approved, prior to commencement of work. The detailed engineering drawings must include:

1.         The location of the proposed connection; and

2.         The size of the connection appropriate to satisfy the needs of the development.

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

Advice:

·          The applicant is advised to submit detailed engineering drawings via a Council City Infrastructure Division application for a new stormwater connection. If detailed design to satisfy this condition is submitted via the planning condition endorsement process there may be fees associated with the assessment, and once approved the applicant will still need to submit an application for a new stormwater connection with Council City Infrastructure Division.

·          Where building / plumbing approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation to satisfy this condition is submitted well before submitting documentation for building/plumbing approval. Failure to address planning condition requirements prior to submitting for building/plumbing approval may result in unexpected delays.

Reason for condition

To ensure the site is drained adequately.

ENG 3a

The access driveway and parking module (parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) must be designed and constructed in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS2890.1:2004 (including the requirement for vehicle safety barriers where required).

Advice:

·          It is advised that designers consider the detailed design of the access and parking module prior to finalising the Finished Floor Level (FFL) of the parking spaces (especially if located within a garage incorporated into the dwelling), as failure to do so may result in difficulty complying with this condition.

ENG 4

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 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.

ENG 13

2.         Increasing the gate width of the driveway(s) to 5m;

3.         Increasing the transparency of fencing for at least 1m on each side of driveway/s so that those sections of fencing are largely transparent; or

4.         Setting driveway(s) gates back 1m from front fence line to achieve increased sight lines.

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

Advice:

·          The applicant may submit amended drawings to satisfy this condition as either part of a Building Application, or alternatively via Council's planning condition endorsement process (noting there is a fee associated with condition endorsement approval of engineering drawings [see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement and for fees and charges]).

·          Failure to address condition requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of vehicles entering and leaving the development and of pedestrians and traffic in the vicinity.

ENV 1

Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to prevent sediment from leaving the site must be installed prior to any disturbance of the site, and maintained until all areas of disturbance have been stabilized or re­vegetated.

Advice: For further guidance in preparing a Soil and Water Management Plan – in accordance with Fact sheet 3 Derwent Estuary Program click here.

Reason for condition

To avoid the sedimentation of roads, drains, natural watercourses, Council land that could be caused by erosion and runoff from the development, and to comply with relevant State legislation.

10.      Southern Tasmanian Councils Authority - Membership

Aldermen Zucco / Behrakis

Motion:

“That an urgent report be prepared on the strategic value of the City of Hobart maintaining its membership to the Southern Tasmanian Councils Authority (STCA).”

Rationale:

“With the recent announcement of Clarence City Council withdrawing from the Southern Tasmanian Councils Authority (STCA) as well as similar motions for consideration by other metropolitan councils, it is timely for the Council to consider its options for withdrawal from the STCA.  

The STCA has been without a Chief Executive Officer for a number of years and has taken a reactive rather than proactive approach to issues affecting the Southern region.

Given the possibility that the STCA could be without a number of urban councils, it is time for the Council to consider what value it receives from being a member of this regional body and its options for withdrawal.”

The Acting 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 the Council’s membership of the STCA.”

11.      Projected Population and Economic Growth Model

Ref:    Open CPC 9.1, 25/03/2019

Councillor Ewin

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.”

“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 its decision making.”

12.      Exploration of New International Relationships

Ref:    Open EDCC 7.1, 21/03/2019

Councillor Sherlock

Motion:

“That a report be provided to investigate potential relationships between the City of Hobart and cities in India, Nepal and Fiji.”

Rationale:

“As the migrant and refugee community changes and grows in Hobart, the demographics of the city has evolved. Recognising the importance of the city’s international relationships in promoting cultural understanding and signalling respect to community members with links to places overseas, it is time to consider building and extending the City’s friendship city networks.

India

The 2016 census shows 595 people living in the city were born in India and 911 people have Indian ancestry (parents born in India). This is the third largest represented community in Hobart after the UK and China. Indian students are currently UTAS’ second largest international group. The median age in India is 27 and population projections show it is likely to become the most populous country in the world by 2024. This makes it very likely that Indian student numbers in Hobart will continue to grow. Having a relationship with an Indian city would be a positive communication to the current and prospective Indian community that Hobart is a culturally receptive and welcoming place.

Nepal

The community in Hobart is growing and becoming increasingly visible in the city through their activities that include a Nepalese fair and language school. Every day new people are coming to Tasmania and approximately 40% of the Nepali community reside in the Hobart municipality, according to the President of the Nepali Society of Tasmania, Arjun Prasin.

Fiji

People of Fijian and Indo-Fijian heritage in Tasmania have long supported a vision of Tasmania as a culturally and linguistically diverse and harmonious place. It is our understanding that one of the founders of the Ethnic Communities Council (ECC - now known as the Multicultural Council of Tasmania (MCOT)), was the current President of the Fiji/Australia Association, Donald Ramritu, and other members of the ECC were also from Fiji. This connection to Fiji is reinforced by a number of active community members. A city to city relationship connecting Hobart and Fiji would further build upon the foundations laid by these people and would support further growth of this community.

The City of Hobart has a policy guiding the investigation of new relationships (Attachment A). The following criteria in order of priority must be considered when investigating a new relationship:

i.    clear identification of the specific outcomes sought from the relationship;

ii.    relevance of the relationship in terms of achieving Council’s major goals as outlined in the Strategic Plan;

iii.   the value of the relationship in terms of enhancing economic development, business investment, educational and tourism outcomes for Hobart and Tasmania, including specifically support for local businesses and educational institutions;

iv.  the value of the relationship in terms of supporting community and cultural linkages;

v.   willingness and capacity of the business or local community of interest to support the relationship;

vi.  the potential for mutual learning through exchanges and information sharing to facilitate sustainability and continuous improvement in the development of the Council’s economic, social and environmental objectives;

vii.  the capability of the Council to provide skills and resources to assist in humanitarian and capacity building projects;

viii. Council resources (human and financial) required to sustain the relationship to the satisfaction of both parties; and

ix.  evaluation of any political ramifications through consultation with the Department of Foreign Affairs and local communities.

It is proposed that cities in India, Nepal and Fiji are considered against the criteria and a report is brought back to Council highlighting options for potential new relationships”.

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 the City of Hobart Policy: Guidelines for Future International Relationships.”
