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.

Any damage must be immediately reported to 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 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.

OPS s1

Compensation will be required to be paid to the Council, in accordance with its Tree Amenity Formula, for the loss of the street tree in Bishop Street; the Syzygium smithii (common lilly pilly). A replacement tree will also be required, to the satisfaction of the Director City Amenity. The removal of the tree is to be undertaken by the developer who is responsible for acquiring all required permits. The developer will bear the cost of the street tree removal and pay for a replacement tree, and pay the amenity value of the tree to be removed.

Advice:

The amenity value has been calculated at $2,003, using the City of Hobart Tree Amenity Formula. The cost for a replacement tree is $400, for the City of Hobart to purchase, plant and establish a new tree. This results in a total compensation cost of $2,403. The compensation will be required prior to removal of the street tree.

To arrange payment of this fee, please contact the Council's Open Space Planning

Team on 6238 2488.

Reason for condition

To maintain the amenity value of street trees as per the City of Hobart Street Tree Strategy and the amenity value calculation method endorsed by a meeting of the full Council on the 18th February 2019.

SURV 1

The applicant must submit to the Council a copy of the surveyor’s survey notes at the time of lodging the final plan.

Reason for condition

To enable the Council to accurately update cadastral layers on the corporate Geographic Information System.

SURV 3

The final plan and schedule of easements must be submitted and approved under section 89 of the Local Government (Building & Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1993.

The final plan and schedule of easements must provide easements to the satisfaction of the Council:

1.      Over any proposed or existing stormwater, water or sewer mains passing through the lots on the final plan, in favour of the Hobart City Council (minimum width of 2m) and/or TasWater (minimum width of 2.5m).

Reason for condition

To ensure that there are no impediments to the provision of public and private services and access to the lots.

SURV 11

Lot 1 and Lot 2 on the final plan is to be notated to the effect that the subdivision shown in the plan is approved in accordance with the provisions of section 109(8) of the Local Government (Building & Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1993, in that the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 makes provision for the dimensions of Lot 1 and Lot 2.

Reason for condition

To record that the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 has made provision for the dimensions and qualities of Lot 1 and Lot 2 and to comply with Part 3 of the Local Government (Building & Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1993.

ENG 14

Access and services to each lot must be designed and installed to meet the needs of future development, prior to the sealing of the final plan.

Detailed engineering drawings must be submitted and approved prior to the commencement of work on the site. The drawings must be certified by a suitably qualified and experienced engineer and must:

1.      be generally in accordance with Local Government Association of Tasmania: Tasmanian Municipal Standard Drawings (May 2020), as varied by the City of Hobart published departures from those drawings, and Tasmanian Subdivision Guidelines (October 2013);

2.      clearly distinguish between public and private infrastructure;

3.      show the final lot boundaries, with each lot serviced separately by the Hobart City Council infrastructure and all private plumbing contained within each lot;

4.      show the proposed location, level and size of each lot connection such that the majority of the lot, including all hardstand areas, can be adequately drained via gravity;

5.      show the location of all existing connections and all stormwater from the existing development drained to Council infrastructure.  Existing redundant connections must be abandoned and fully reinstated;

6.      show in plan, cross­section and long­section the proposed stormwater infrastructure, including but not limited to, connections, flows, velocities, hydraulic grade lines, clearances from structures, boundaries and other services, cover, gradients, sizing, material, pipe class, easements and inspection openings

A structural condition assessment and visual record (ie CCTV and report) of the new public infrastructure must be submitted prior to issue of practical completion.

All work required by this condition must be constructed in accordance with the approved engineering drawings. All services must be installed prior to the sealing of the final plan.

Advice:

Council generally requires mains in the road to be DN300 and running under the kerb to a side entry pit, if practicable.

A single lot connection at the lowest point of the lot is generally allowed under the Urban Drainage Act. Council notes the Lot has multiple existing connections (including one on Bishop Street where the private downpipe may be outside the property boundary), however none able to serve the existing access. A new connection and some consolidation/ abandonment of existing connections for the Balance Lot is required.

Once the engineering drawings have been approved the Council will issue a condition endorsement.

Please note that once the condition endorsement has been issued you will need to contact Council’s City Amenity Division to obtain a Permit to Construct Public Infrastructure.  A 12 month maintenance period, bond and CCTV will be required.

Reason for condition

To ensure that the subdivision of land provides adequate services to meet the projected needs of future development.

ENG 16

Prior to the sealing of the final plan, private sewer, stormwater (including surface drainage) and water services/connections are to be entirely separate to each lot and contained wholly within the lots served.

Reason for condition

To ensure that each lot is services separately.

ENG 17

Prior to the sealing of the final plan, the developer must verify compliance with condition ENG 16 by supplying the Council with an as­installed services plan clearly indicating the location and details of all relevant services (entirely contained within their respective lots or appropriate easements). The as­installed services plan must be accompanied by certification from a suitably qualified person that all engineering work required by this permit has been completed.

Advice:

Any final plan submitted for sealing will not be processed unless it is accompanied by documentation by a suitably qualified person that clearly certifies that this condition has been satisfied and that all the work required by this condition has been completed. A 'suitably qualified person' must be a professional engineer or professional surveyor or other persons acceptable to the Council.

Reason for condition

To ensure that the developer provides the Council with clear written confirmation that the separation of services is complete.

OPS 1

The owner must pay a cash contribution to the Council for contribution to public open space, prior to sealing of the final plan.

The open space contribution is equal to 5% of the undeveloped value of Lots 1 and 2 comprised in the final plan, in lieu of the provision of public open space within the subdivision.

Advice:

The value is to be determined by a registered valuer commissioned by the Council at the developer's cost. Please contact the Council's Development Appraisal Unit on 6238 2715 to instigate the valuation process.

Reason for condition

Approval of the subdivision will create further demand upon Hobart's Public Open Space System. The funds obtained will be used for future expenditure on the purchase or improvement of land for public open space in Hobart.
