GEN

The use and/or development must be substantially in accordance with the documents and drawings that comprise PLN20630 34 DAVEY STREET HOBART TAS 7000 Final Planning Documents except where modified below.

Reason for condition

To clarify the scope of the permit.

SW 1

Prior to the commencement of work on the site, a preconstruction structural condition assessment and visual record (eg video and photos) of the Hobart City Council’s stormwater infrastructure within/adjacent to the proposed development which will not be renewed must be submitted to the City of Hobart.

The condition assessment must include at least:

1. a site plan clearly showing the location of the investigation, with access points and all segments and nodes shown and labelled, with assets found to have a different alignment from that shown on the City of Hobart’s plans to be marked on the ground and on the plan;

3. photos of any existing drainage structures connected to or modified as part of the development.

The preconstruction condition assessment will be relied upon to establish the extent of any damage caused to Hobart City Council’s stormwater infrastructure during construction. If the owner/developer fails to provide the City of Hobart with an adequate preconstruction condition assessment then any damage to the City of Hobart’s infrastructure identified in the post construction condition assessment will be the responsibility of the owner/developer.

Advice:

Council notes postwork CCTVs required by the applicant's contractor under previous Road Opening Permits have not yet been submitted, however preworks CCTVs show both that the main must be replaced, and does not have the straight alignment shown on Council's maps and the concept plans submitted.

SW 2

Once the temporary fencing has been inspected and approved by the Council's Program Leader Arboriculture & Nursery (6238 2807), the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).

As building approval is also required, it is recommended that the fencing inspection for condition endorsement be undertaken 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 a safe and attractive landscaping treatment enhances the appearance of the site and if relevant provides a visual break from land in a residential zone.

18/1/2021

REPORT TITLE: Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy - Proposed Review Process and Draft New Policy - Submission to the Minister for Planning

REPORT PROVIDED BY: Development Planner

Director City Planning

1. Report Purpose and Community Benefit

1.1. This report considers the Minister for Planning’s ‘roadmap’ for review of the Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy 2010-2035 (STRLUS) and, more specifically, a draft policy amendment to the STRLUS that allows greater flexibility to consider rezoning for urban development outside of the Urban Growth Boundary without requiring an amendment of this boundary. The report seeks Council endorsement of a submission letter to the Minister for Planning.

1.2. This report benefits the community by allowing greater flexibility to ensure land is appropriately zoned and that development and use is undertaken in a fair and orderly manner.

2. Report Summary

2.1. The proposal is that a submission to the Minister for Planning, in response to a ‘roadmap’ for review of the Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy 2010-2035 (STRLUS) and proposed new interim policy relating to urban zoning beyond the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), be endorsed.

2.2. The proposed submission is provided in Attachment A.

2.3. The documentation sent to the City of Hobart from the Minister for Planning is provided in Attachment B.

2.4. The roadmap for review summarises how the STRLUS will be managed and incrementally amended in the short, medium and long term, culminating in a full review of the STRLUS.

2.5. One of the short term measures proposed is a new interim policy that will detail the circumstances where a rezoning can be considered beyond the UGB without formally amending the STRLUS.

2.6. The intent of this new policy is to introduce a simplified process for dealing with minor deviations from the UGB that aren’t likely to significantly impact on the broader settlement strategy of the STRLUS.

2.7. Both the roadmap for review of the STRLUS and the intention of the proposed draft policy are generally supported subject to suggested clarifications and amendments.

2.8. A number of specific comments, queries or suggestions for improvement are provided in the attached submission to the Minister for Planning, which is recommended to be supported.

3. Recommendation

That:

1. Council endorse the submission to the Minister for Planning, in response to a roadmap for review of the Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy 2010-2035 and a proposed new interim policy relating to urban zoning beyond the Urban Growth Boundary, provided in Attachment A.

4. Background

4.1. The Minister for Planning wrote to Council in December 2020 to outline a ‘roadmap’ for review of the STRLUS, which summarises the processes underway and how they will work together towards a full review of the STRLUS (Attachment B).

4.2. The STRLUS sets out the medium to long term planning goals for the southern region of Tasmania.

4.3. The Greater Hobart Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) is a boundary drawn on a map within the STRLUS that aims to:

4.3.1. Set the physical extent for a 20 year supply of residential land (with the aim of a 50/50 greenfield to infill development ratio and a minimum net residential density of 15 dwellings per hectare);

4.3.2. Reflect infrastructure capacity, land hazards and environmental, landscape and heritage values;

4.3.3. Support increased density in areas around integrated transit corridors and principal and primary activity centres.

4.4. The Minister notes there are concerns that the regional strategy is out of date and may not adequately reflect current planning issues.

4.5. The MetroPlan project under the Greater Hobart Act 2019 (which will guide integrated development in the urban areas of greater Hobart) and development of the State Government’s Tasmanian Planning Policies will be critical projects that will inform a future full STRLUS review.

4.6. The roadmap for review, showing how the STRLUS will be managed and incrementally amended in the short, medium and long term is summarised in the following indicative graphic:

4.7. One of the proposed short term changes to the STRLUS is a new interim policy to provide for a more flexible approach to consider urban zoning beyond the UGB. The Minister is seeking councils’ feedback on this draft new policy in accordance with s.5A(4) of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993, as well as feedback on the roadmap more generally.

5. Proposal and Implementation

5.1. The proposal is that a submission to the Minister for Planning, in response to a ‘roadmap’ for review of the STRLUS and proposed new STRLUS interim policy relating to urban zoning beyond the UGB, be endorsed.

5.2. The proposed submission is provided in Attachment A.

5.3. The documentation sent to the City of Hobart from the Minister for Planning, including the draft new interim policy and explanatory documentation, is provided in Attachment B.

5.4. The wider roadmap for review of the STRLUS appears to follow a logical sequence of data collection and policy formation, considering the other major projects that are underway or about to be commenced. These major projects include the Tasmanian Planning Policies and the greater Hobart MetroPlan, which will play a significant role in shaping planning policy direction. However to provide greater certainty for all stakeholders an indicative timeframe should be established for the completion of the review.

5.5. One of the proposed short term changes to the STRLUS is a new policy to be inserted into the Settlement and Residential Policies of the STRLUS. The purpose of this new policy is to enable the consideration of proposals for urban zoning beyond the existing UGB in particular circumstances, without the need to amend the STRLUS.

5.6. Currently, proposals for urban zoning outside of the UGB must seek a formal amendment to the STRLUS from the Minister for Planning. Amendments of this type must be supported by all councils within the region.

5.7. The new policy intends to introduce a simplified approach to dealing with minor deviations from the UGB.

5.8. As the UGB was originally conceived as being indicative rather than definitive, there are apparent anomalies with land parcels being split by the UGB and seemingly appropriate areas being left out of the UGB.

5.9. The new policy is intended to be restricted in scope to address what appear to be anomalies and avoid detracting from the intent of the UGB which is to balance infill to greenfield development ratios in Greater Hobart.

5.10. The policy is proposed as an interim measure pending the outcomes of the Greater Hobart Metro Plan and the comprehensive review of the STRLUS.

5.11. The proposed wording of the new policy is as follows:

Notwithstanding SRD 2.2 and SRD 2.8, land outside the Urban Growth Boundary shown in Map 10 may be considered for rezoning for urban development if it:

a) Adjoins land within the Urban Growth Boundary;

b) Comprises a lot that is partially within the Urban Growth Boundary, with an area of not more than <2> hectares;

c) Does not constitute a significant increase in land zoned for urban development outside the UGB in that locality; and

d) Results in minimal potential for land use conflicts with adjoining land uses.

5.12. The maximum area for consideration under subclause b) of the draft policy will be informed by feedback from stakeholders. Suggested options in the background paper are 2 ha (potential for 30 dwellings at 15/ha, likely to have minimal impact on broader settlement strategy), 3 ha (45 dwellings at 15/ha, may have potential to lead to some impacts on the broader settlement strategy).

5.13. It is considered that a 2ha size limit would be reasonable. The analysis of dwelling yield provided in the explanatory document assumes the land can be fully developed and is within a zone that would allow for this density, however there are instances where a more restrictive zoning (such as Low Density Residential) or existing site constraints may reduce the achievable dwelling yield. An alternative possible approach could be to specify a different maximum land size depending on the proposed zone.

5.14. The City of Hobart has considered two proposals in the recent past for urban rezonings beyond the UGB, specifically 25 Stevens Farm Drive (amendment 5/2016) and 66 Summerhill Road (amendment PSA-18-2). Both proposals related to additional land adjoining a recent subdivision that was determined to have further development capacity following detailed investigation.

5.15. The rezoning to Low Density Residential at 25 Stevens Farm Drive (approx. 0.6 ha, resulting in 4 lots) was approved and the STRLUS UGB was subsequently amended. The application for rezoning to Low Density Residential at 66 Summerhill Road (approx. 1.2 ha, likely to accommodate around 4 lots due to site constraints) has been initiated but not yet determined. A request for an amendment to the STRLUS has also been submitted to the Minister relating to this application.

5.16. Future proposals to rezone beyond the UGB within the Hobart municipal area are likely to be minor in scale and close to services and regular public transport, and are therefore unlikely to pose unintended consequences such as contributing to urban sprawl or increased traffic congestion. It is noted that these unintended consequences may be a concern for less well serviced areas, however.

5.17. The UGB in the Hobart municipal area was primarily based on existing zone boundaries without detailed review of potential capacity of land beyond these existing zones. It is therefore possible that some modest areas of land beyond the existing UGB can be demonstrated, with detailed investigation, to be suitable for urban development.

5.18. The Hobart municipal area is largely constrained by natural features such as the River Derwent and kunanyi/Mount Wellington, and therefore rezonings beyond the UGB are unlikely to amount to a significant area.

5.19. The attached submission in Attachment A generally supports the roadmap for review of the STRLUS and the intent of the new policy amendment, however raises some queries and suggests for drafting improvements of the policy.

5.20. The main queries or suggestions for improvement are as follows:

5.20.1. Will there still be a process to request an amendment to the STRLUS to extend the UGB if a proposal for rezoning does not meet the proposed conditions of the new policy but may still be appropriate?

5.20.2. The subclause relating to the maximum area of land could be clarified further that the size only relates to the rezoned area beyond the UGB, even if the entire lot is larger due to a portion being within the UGB. It is noted that determining the exact size of land outside the UGB may be problematic given the scale and thickness of the UGB line as represented in the STRLUS.

5.20.3. Is it deliberately intended that partial rezoning of a larger lot is precluded? There may be circumstances where split zoning and concentration of development into a small area of a large lot is justifiable.

5.20.4. In response to requested feedback relating to maximum lot sizes, a 2ha limit would be supported, although it is suggested that an alternative approach is to specify a different maximum depending on the intended zone, as different zones will allow for different dwelling densities. However before a definitive limit is agreed to there should be an understanding of the overall potential of such a limit as the accumulation of such amendments could have a significant implication of the overall land supply that may have unintended consequences.

5.20.5. Provision should be made to ensure that such amendments do not simply lead to more land banking but rather any amendment achieves a meaningful redevelopment of the land within a specified period. Furthermore limiting such amendments to the Hobart metropolitan council areas should be considered to ensure unintended need for the expansion of public services are minimised.

5.20.6. The term ‘locality’ is not clearly defined, and it is suggested a definition should be added or a different term used.

5.20.7. The operation of the subclause that requires consideration of whether a proposed rezoning constitutes a significant increase in urban land outside the UGB should be clarified.

5.21. It is recommended that the submission to the Minister for Planning provided in Attachment A be supported.

6. Strategic Planning and Policy Considerations

6.1. Support of the proposed amendment is consistent with the objectives of the Capital City Strategic Plan 2019-29, in particular with the following outcomes:

6.1.1. Hobart keeps a strong sense of place and identity, even as the city changes;

6.1.2. In City decision-making, we consider how different aspects of Hobart life connect and contribute to sense of place;

6.1.3. Hobart has a diverse supply of housing and affordable homes;

6.1.4. Development enhances Hobart’s unique identity, human scale and built heritage.

7. Financial Implications

7.1. Funding Source and Impact on Current Year Operating Result

7.1.1. None.

7.2. Impact on Future Years’ Financial Result

7.2.1. None.

7.3. Asset Related Implications

7.3.1. None.

8. Legal, Risk and Legislative Considerations

8.1. The implementation of the draft policy amendment to the STRLUS will be undertaken in accordance with the process set out under the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993.

9. Environmental Considerations

9.1. The draft new STRLUS policy will still require site conditions and environmental impacts to be considered as part of any proposed rezoning.

10. Social and Customer Considerations

10.1. The proposal is not considered to have any negative impact on social inclusion.

11. Marketing and Media

11.1. There are no marketing or branding implications of this proposal.

12. Community and Stakeholder Engagement

12.1. No engagement by Council is necessary as this report responds to proposals by the Minister for Planning.

13. Delegation

13.1. Delegation rests with the Council.

As signatory to this report, I certify that, pursuant to Section 55(1) of the Local Government Act 1993, I hold no interest, as referred to in Section 49 of the Local Government Act 1993, in matters contained in this report.

Bicycle Parking Provisions

Meeting: City Planning Committee

Meeting date: 19 October 2020

Raised by: Deputy Lord Mayor Burnet

Question:

Given the number of inner city locations of applications with a focus on accommodation in the City coming before the Council, is the provision of bicycle parking for visitors something that can be reflected in the planning application process according to the Scheme?

Response:

The Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 has a requirement to provide bicycle parking spaces in the Parking and Access Code E6.0. The number of spaces for visitors depends on the use which is proposed.

An extract of the Scheme is on the following page, showing the number of bicycle parking spaces required in Table E6.2.

The requirement to provide parking in accordance with Table E6.2 is an acceptable solution. If that requirement is not met by a proposal then a discretion may be exercised to approve a development where (in clause E6.6.4):

The number of on-site bicycle parking spaces provided must have regard to all of the following:

(a)	the nature of the use and its operations;

(b)	the location of the use and its accessibility by cyclists;

(c)	the balance of the potential need of both those working on a site and clients or other visitors coming to the site.
