VOTING RECORD

The minutes were signed.

Mr Lohberger put the following question and was provided with a response from the Lord Mayor.

Question:

It is now more than a year since the pedestrian bridge between New Town High School and Central Avenue was closed due to flood damage. Is there a timeline for the repair and reopening of this bridge?

And what steps has the HCC taken to advise the local community about the fate of the bridge?

Response:

The storm event of May 2018 caused significant damage to the pedestrian bridge that provides access from the Central Avenue side of the Rivulet to New Town High School.

Significant engineering, geotechnical and flood modelling has been required in the design of the new bridge, that has taken more time than we would have liked. However, the project is now currently out for tender to allow replacement of the bridge to proceed.

During this period, the City has had regular contact with the School to keep them up to date, with onsite signage also indicating that investigations into repairs or replacement of the bridge were underway.

The General Manager tabled a petition from Mr Brian Corr requesting a poll of electors be held in relation to building heights.

There were 1820 signatures on the petition.

The petition form states:

I ask the Hobart City Council to conduct a poll of electors, asking the following question:

Do you agree that Council should adopt the professional planning staff’s full recommendations regarding heritage buildings, view-lines, streetscapes, and absolute maximum building heights as recommended, or lower as Council might decide?

The General Manager reported in the following terms:

“There are three pre-conditions required to be met which would require the Council to conduct an elector poll:

1.    If the petition was received within 30 days after the public meeting in relation to the same subject matter as that contained in the petition requesting the public meeting.

2.    If the petition is signed by at least 5% of the electors in the municipal area or 1,000 of those electors, whichever is the lesser; and

3.    The petition complies with s57(2) of the Act.

“s57(2)    A person lodging a petition is to ensure that the petition contains –

(a)     a clear and concise statement identifying the subject matter and the action requested; and

(b)     in the case of a paper petition, a heading on each page indicating the subject matter; and

(c)     in the case of a paper petition, a brief statement on each page of the subject matter and the action requested; and

(d)     a statement specifying the number of signatories; and

(e)     at the end of the petition –

(i)    in the case of a paper petition, the full name, address and signature of the person lodging the petition; and

(ii)   in the case of an electronic petition, the full name and address of the person lodging the petition and a statement by that person certifying that the statement of the subject matter and the action requested, as set out at the beginning of the petition, has not been changed.”

The public meeting was held on 16 April 2019 and the petition was provided to me on Wednesday 15 May 2019 – so within 30 days of the public meeting.

The petition has been signed by 1,169 electors, which exceeds the 1,000 required.

The petition complies with s57(2) – which relates to the form and information provided with the petition.

There is no need to follow the usual practice and refer a petition to the relevant committee.

The Council is therefore required to conduct an elector poll.  The petition is required to be held within 60 days of its receipt unless Mr Corr, as the person who lodged the petition, agrees that it can be held in conjunction with the next ordinary election.  I will write to Mr Corr enquiring in that regard and advise the Council accordingly.

The elector poll is to be conducted as determined by the Electoral Commissioner and I will liaise with him regarding that process.  He will ultimately determine the question to be asked.

Once the elector poll has concluded, the Council is to discuss its result at its next ordinary meeting and the result is not binding on the Council.

The Council will be kept informed in relation to conducting the elector poll.”

DUTTA

BRISCOE                                       That the petition be received and noted.

The General Manager tabled a petition calling for the Council to retain the existing height limit of 45 metres in Hobart.

The petition contains 314 signatures and states:

“At the public meeting in Hobart City Hall on Tuesday 16th April, over 1000 people attended. The vast majority voted to retain the existing height limits of Hobart CBD of 45 metres, whilst overwhelmingly rejecting a call to raise the limit to 60 metres.

“ Hobart not Highrise” is still, inexplicably, urging adoption of 60

metre (20 storey) height limits for Hobart.

We the undersigned, request the Hobart City Council hold an electors’ poll that reflects the overwhelming vote for the successful motion from the public meeting of 16 April 2019. The motion passed was:

This meeting calls on the Hobart City Council to protect the heritage character of Hobart by:

1)    Acknowledging the great economic and social value of the City’s character and working to ensure that new development complements that character.

2)    Establishing a maximum height of 45 metres, which in part allows 15 storey buildings but restricts such buildings to sites where they don’t impact on heritage buildings, streetscapes and precincts.

3)    Strongly tighten the use of discretion in planning approvals, which has led to serious abuse.

We believe that, to respect the outcome of the vote, the question in the Electors' Poll should read:

Do you agree that Council should retain its existing height limits of 45 metres and set absolute maximum building heights in the CBD of no more that 45 metres (15 storeys)? YES/NO”

The General Manager reported in the following terms:

Whilst this petition does relate to the building height issue, it is not seeking the conduct of an elector poll itself.  However, given the issues raised I will ensure that these are available to the Electoral Commissioner as part of his undertaking the elector poll.

Given this, there is no need to follow the usual practice and refer a petition to the relevant committee.

DUTTA

BRISCOE                                       That the petition be received and noted.

Ref:    Open CPC 7.1.1, 13/05/2019

Application Expiry Date: 18 June 2019

Extension of Time: Not applicable

That pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for Carport at 8 Flint Avenue, New Town, Tas, 7008 for the following reasons:

1.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause 11.4.2 A1 and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the setback of the carport does not have regard to streetscape qualities or assist the integration of the carport into the streetscape;

2.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause 11.4.2 A2 and P2 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the setback of the carport does not provide separation from the frontage that complements or enhances the existing streetscape; and

3.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criteria with respect to clause 13.8.2 A1 and P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed carport, by reason of its location forward of the front building line, would have a detrimental impact upon those features which contribute to the historic cultural significance of the Flint Avenue Heritage Precinct (NT12) as set out in table E.13.2.
