FORESHADOWED MOTION

Harvey

That:   Pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application tourist operation including aerial ropeway (zipline), launch tower, landing platform, storage and amenities, car parking, and associated works at 100 Pinnacle Road, Wellington Park; 220 Waterworks Road, Ridgeway; and Strickland Avenue, South Hobart for the following reasons:

1.    The proposed Tourist Operation use is prohibited in the Recreation Zone (landing platform) and a permit must not be granted, pursuant to Table 3 of the Wellington Park Management Plan 2013 (as amended October 2015) and clause 8.7.1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015.

2.    The proposed use is not consistent with the values of the Wellington Park identified in section 8.2 and section 2.3 of the Wellington Park Management Plan 2013 in that it is primarily focused on the recreational and tourism values and diminishes the Wellington Park’s values relating to natural values, wildness and remoteness, and cultural and historical significance.

3.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or performance criteria with respect to section 8.5.7, Issue 2, P2.1 of the Wellington Park Management Plan 2013 as the proposal, due to the clearing associated with the landing platform and tracks, does not avoid or sufficiently remedy the loss of native vegetation.

4.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or performance criteria with respect to section 8.5.7, Issue 2, P2.2 of the Wellington Park Management Plan 2013 as the proposal, due to the potential impact on endangered species, including the Swift Parrot, from the impacts from the operation of the zipline such as noise and collision risk, and does not avoid or sufficiently remedy those potential impacts.

5.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or performance criteria with respect to section 8.5.7, Issue 6, P6.1 and S1.6, Issue 1, P11.1 of the Wellington Park Management Plan 2013 as the proposal will generate noise emissions that will have an adverse effect on the quiet enjoyment of the natural and cultural values of kunanyi/Mount Wellington and which are insufficiently remedied.
