VOTING RECORD

The minutes were signed.

The Lord Mayor presented a plate, handmade sweets and origami gift boxes he received on Wednesday 1 August 2018 from seven exchange students from Kagawa Japan.

The visit marked the 30^th anniversary of the exchange program between Kagawa International Exchange Foundation and Hobart College.

The Lord Mayor presented a framed photograph he received from Chinese Contemporary Art Tasmania when he opened their photographic exhibition on Wednesday 25 July 2018.

It depicts the ‘Nuo dance’, a form of performance, based on the fold sacrificial ceremony.

The Lord Mayor presented a Naval Medallion he received on Friday 3 August from the Commanding Officer of HMAS Newcastle, Commander Anita Sellick.

Mr Terrance Aulich put the following question and was provided with the corresponding response from the Lord Mayor on behalf of the Council.

Question:

How many people are currently listed and registered to vote who are either non-citizens or not on the State Electoral Roll and does their inclusion allow them to have more than one vote if they also own property in Hobart?

Response:

There are 1738 people currently registered on the General Manager's Electoral Roll who are not on the State Electoral Roll.   These include nominees of a corporate body, non-resident owners of property in the Hobart municipal area and occupiers of property in the Hobart municipal area.  Australian citizenship is not a legal requirement for voting purposes in local government elections.

All electors have 1 vote in their own right in a local government election.  However, if you are nominated to vote on behalf of a corporate body, you could have 2 votes, that is one in your own right and one vote on behalf of the corporate body that has nominated you to vote on their behalf.

Mr Ben Lohberer put the following questions and was provided with the corresponding response from the Lord Mayor on behalf of the Council.

Questions:

Did the HCC support LGAT in its ultimately successful call for the State Government to declare a new candidate expenditure limit of $16,000 for Hobart City Council elections? And does the HCC have any concerns that this huge spending limit will unfairly handicap people who cannot afford to spend $16,000 on advertising?  

Response:

In December 2017 the Council considered a report on a consultation paper circulated by the Local Government Division of the Department of Premier and Cabinet and resolved that Council would support increases to the electoral advertising limits for an aldermanic/councillor candidate to $6,500 and $10,500 for an alderman and mayor or deputy mayor candidate.

On 3 August 2018 LGAT released advice stating that the spend limit was going to be $8,000 (inclusive of GST) for all candidates but would now be $16,000 for councils with more than 15,000 properties. The reason given for this was that the cost of printing pamphlets is now included in the limit when it had previously not been.

The Council has not considered its position on the increase to $16,000.

The General Manager tabled a petition requesting Council not be subdued via either reduced funding, restrictions imposed by the Hobart City Council, or in form of censorship impositions.

There were 11,240 signatories on the petition.

Zucco

Briscoe         

That the petition be received and noted and referred to the appropriate committee.

HER 18

The trees identified as Tree 1, Tree 2 and Tree 3 in the report by Jerry Romanski of Tree Inclined dated 20 February 2018 must be protected throughout excavation, during construction and post construction.

The proposed driveway is to be constructed above ground and supported by piers in order to protect the copse of trees identified as Tree 1.  The minimum distance  between the driveway and the south-western boundary is to be 1.8 metres, to avoid the removal of large stems.  Amended drawings showing the proposed construction must be submitted for approval prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016.   

Temporary irrigation is to be provided to Tree 2 and the  copse of trees identified as Tree 1 to encourage rapid modification of existing root architecture.  Details of the proposed irrigation technique are to be submitted for approval prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016.    

The footings of Unit B long the south-eastern wall are to be 'pier and beam' to minimise impact upon roots of Tree 3.  Amended drawings showing the proposed construction must be submitted for approval prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016.  

The removal of scaffold branches and the pruning of mid and upper crown branches is to be undertaken before any building works, by a qualified arborist (minimum AQF level 3), using the techniques outlined in AS 4373-2007 Pruning of amenity trees.

Permanent supplementary irrigation is to be provided within the remnant garden space below the crown of Tree 3.  Details of the proposed irrigation technique are to be submitted for approval prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016.    

In the event that excavation for pier footings uncovers large tree roots (greater than 50mm diameter), damage to the roots within the structural root zone must be avoided.  Where damage cannot be avoided outside the structural root zone, large roots must be cleanly cut with a hand saw, rather than torn by excavators.  The excavation for footings along the south-eastern wall of unit B and its deck is to be undertaken manually and supervised by a qualified arborist.

A project arborist is to be engaged to provide on-site advice about minimisation of potential for physical damage to below and above ground tree parts, as well as limiting potential soil compaction and contamination within the tree's root zones.  A report of the arborist, outlining the progress of works and measures taken, is to be submitted for approval prior to first occupation.

Reason for condition

To ensure that the identified trees are not unnecessarily harmed and are managed in a way that maintains their health and appearance, and to ensure that development at a heritage place and precinct is undertaken in a sympathetic manner which does not cause loss of historic cultural heritage significance.

ADVICE

The following advice is provided to you to assist in the implementation of the planning permit that has been issued subject to the conditions above. The advice is not exhaustive and you must inform yourself of any other legislation, by-laws, regulations, codes or standards that will apply to your development under which you may need to obtain an approval.

1.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause 10.4.2 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015  because the development will not have a setback from a frontage that is compatible with the existing dwellings in the street, taking into account any topographical constraints.

2.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause 10.4.2 A3 or P3 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015  because the siting and scale of the proposed dwellings causes an unreasonable loss of amenity by: 

(i)      visual impacts caused by the apparent scale, bulk or proportions of the dwellings when viewed from an adjoining lot; and

(ii)     separation between dwellings on adjoining lots that is compatible with that prevailing in the surrounding area is not provided. 

3.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E6.6.1 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015  because the number of on-site car parking spaces is not sufficient to meet the reasonable needs of users, having regard to:

(a)     car parking demand;

(b)     the availability of on-street and public car parking in the locality;

(c)     the availability and frequency of public transport within a 400m walking distance of the site;

(d)     the availability and likely use of other modes of transport;

(e)     the availability and suitability of alternative arrangements for car parking provision.

4.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E6.7.2 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015  because the design of the vehicle access point will not be safe, efficient and convenient, due to:

(a)     not avoiding conflicts between users including vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians;

(b)     not avoiding unreasonable interference with the flow of traffic on adjoining roads;

(c)     its unsuitability for the type and volume of traffic likely to be generated by the use or development;

(d)     difficulty of accessibility and recognition for users.

5.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E6.7.3 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because vehicular passing areas are not provided in sufficient number, dimension and siting so that the access is safe, efficient and convenient.

6.    The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E6.7.5 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the layout of car parking spaces, access aisles, circulation roadways and ramps are not safe and do not ensure ease of access, egress and manoeuvring on-site.
