VOTING RECORD

Ms Isla MacGregor put the following question to Councillor Ewin which Councillor Ewin took on notice.

Councillor Ewin, my question concerns an event to be held on Council premises on Saturday 28 August 2021, and your comments on Facebook in regard thereto.

The event, titled ‘Gender Identity in Law:  Impacts on Women, Children and Transgender People – Balancing the Conversation - will take place at the Town Hall and the venue was booked and paid for in accordance with Council’s requirements.

On 12 July 2021, you posted the following comment on the Facebook page, Jax Ewin, nipaluna/Hobart City Councillor –

Very unimpressed to see @cityofhobarttas platforming exclusive and hateful views of TERFs. Goes against all our community and safety strategies, as well as our Community Vision document.

Let’s see what if anything can be done about it. Thanks Helen Burnet for being an amazing ally.

The speakers at the forum in question include a transgender person, a federal government senator, an Australian business entrepreneur/journalist, a lawyer, professors of psychology and law, and an associate professor of political philosophy.

First, on what basis do you justify your assertion that the forum will be a platform for ‘exclusive and hateful views of TERFs’?  What, or who, do you consider a ‘TERF’ to be?  What does the term mean?

Second, how have you determined that the views expressed and the information conveyed at the forum will be ‘exclusive’ and ‘hateful’?  Exclusive of whom?  Hateful in what way?  Noting that one of the speakers is a transgender person, and all are persons working in occupations that require a clear commitment to discretion, ethical conduct and compliance with a plethora of laws and internal regulations.  Occupations in which ‘hateful’ conduct would be anathema to their professional standards.

Accusations of impropriety such as you have made must, in the interests of fairness, be supported by incontrovertible evidence.  Can you please provide that evidence - in particular, evidence that the views expressed at the forum will go ‘against all (Hobart City Council’s) community and safety strategies, as well as (the) Community Vision document’?

Third, you ask ‘what can be done about’ the forum.  Judging by the tenor of responses supporting your position, it seems you wish to have people demand the forum be shut down.  Please correct me if this is not your intention.  If it is, however, your intent to have Council withdraw the provision of a venue, please advise the grounds for same.  We’ve all heard of ‘cancel culture’ and the worldwide movement toward outright rejection of ideas with which a group or individual does not agree, often with threats of silencing or other, more dire, consequences.

Is your call to action in respect of this forum based on a legally enforceable issue with the material you assume will be presented, or do you just not agree with it?  In which case, should Hobart City Council withdraw the venue because an individual councillor doesn’t like what might be said at an event?  Should interested members of the public be prevented from hearing a range of views for the same reason?   

9.1      354 Davey Street, 5 Lynton Avenue, 3A Lynton Avenue, South Hobart - Two Multiple Dwellings (One Existing, One New)

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved construction waste management plan.

Advice:

This condition requires further information to be submitted as a Condition Endorsement. Refer to the Condition Endorsement advice at the end of this permit.

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:

Reason for condition

To ensure the site is drained adequately.

ENG sw6

All stormwater from the proposed development (including hardstand runoff) must be discharged to the Council’s stormwater infrastructure with sufficient receiving capacity prior to first occupation. All costs associated with works required by this condition are to be met by the owner.

All work required by this condition must be undertaken and maintained in accordance with the approved stormwater management report and design.

ENG 2a

Prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first), vehicular barriers compliant with the Australian Standard AS/NZS 1170.1:2002 must be installed to prevent vehicles running off the edge of an access driveway or parking module (parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) where the drop from the edge of the trafficable area to a lower level is 600mm or greater, and wheel stops (kerb) must be installed for drops between 150mm and 600mm. Barriers must not limit the width of the driveway access or parking and turning areas approved under the permit.

Advice:

The Council does not consider a slope greater than 1 in 4 to constitute a lower level as described in AS/NZS 2890.1:2004 Section 2.4.5.3. Slopes greater than 1 in 4 will require a vehicular barrier or wheel stop.

Designers are advised to consult the National Construction Code 2016 to determine if pedestrian handrails or safety barriers compliant with the NCC2016 are also required in the parking module this area may be considered as a path of access to a building.

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of users of the access driveway and parking module and compliance with the standard.

ENG 2b

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of users of the access driveway and parking module and compliance with the relevant standards.

ENG 3a

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.

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of users of the access and parking module, and compliance with the relevant Australian Standard.

ENG 3b

The access driveway (if required under condition ENG 4) parking module (parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) design must be submitted and approved as a Condition Endorsement, prior to the issuing of any approval under the Building Act 2016.

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.

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of users of the access and parking module, and compliance with the relevant Australian Standard.

ENG 3c

The access driveway, circulation roadways, ramps, passing bay and parking module (parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) must be constructed in accordance with the design drawings approved by Condition ENG 3b.

If more than 40% of strip driveway either side of the passing bay is required to be removed, a fully sealed driveway compliant with current Australian Standards must replace that section.

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 car parking spaces approved to be used on the site is four (4).

All parking spaces must be delineated by means of white or yellow lines 80mm to 100mm wide, or white or yellow pavement markers in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 2890.1 2004, prior to commencement of use.

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
