In special cases, where it can be demonstrated that closure of footpaths in the CBD and/or other high volume footpaths can occur for extended periods without unreasonable impact on other businesses or the general public, such closures may only be approved by the full Council.
For more information about this requirement please contact the Council's Traffic Engineering Unit on 6238 2804.
WASTE DISPOSAL
It is recommended that the developer liaise with the Council’s Cleansing and Solid Waste Unit regarding reducing, reusing and recycling materials associated with demolition on the site to minimise solid waste being directed to landfill.
Further information regarding waste disposal can also be found on the Council’s website.

Councillor Ewin Motion:
“That in order to minimise the harms associated with illicit drug use at festivals, events, pubs, clubs and venues, an officer report be provided for the Hobart City Council to: 1. Provide in-principle support for the provision of drug analysis services (commonly known as pill testing) at major events and festivals held in the City of Hobart. 2. Call on the State Government to commence the necessary action to facilitate a trial of pill testing in Tasmania once the New South Wales coronial inquest into pill-related deaths at music festivals findings are released. 3. Communicate information explaining the purpose of pill testing and the reasoning for the Council’s support to the residents of the city at the appropriate time.” Rationale:
“Pill testing is first and foremost a health issue. A significant number of people attending festivals and venues in the City of Hobart take unlawful drugs contained in pills, powders and liquids. These substances can contain contaminants and uncertain strengths, which can lead to preventable harm and mortality. This harm can be easily avoided by implementing pill testing. According to research, of 1000 ecstasy users, 70% of pills are taken in a public setting (clubs, dance parties and festivals). Of those surveyed, 82% said they would use pill testing if provided. Local governments provide or facilitate this service in several European countries including France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Germany and Spain. Domestically, the City of Port Phillip passed a similar motion in 2017, and is renewing its push for the Victorian State government to allow a trial to be implemented. Pill testing is supported by the Australian Medical Association, The Royal Australiasian College of Physicians, the Alcohol, Tobacco and other Drugs Council of Tasmania, the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, and The Royal Australian College of Medical Practitioners among many others, and is considered best practice and a key harm minimisation strategy for our community. Pill Testing Australia is the provider for these services. The process for service provision is that of enabling policy, rather than legislative changes (such as decriminalisation or legalisation). Police, government and Pill Testing Australia work together to deliver the service to ensure safety and transparency at all times. People considering using an illicit substance come to a collection point to have the substance tested in order to discover what they really may be taking. Their phones are confiscated to ensure privacy, and they are taken through the process with a qualified chemist and a doctor who explain the makeup and effects of the substance. This enables people to make informed choices about what they are about to do, to understand the risks better, and what to do in the event of an adverse outcome. Throughout the process, people are never advised that it is safe to take drugs, consumption of drugs is never promoted, and people are not judged for the decisions they make in regard to drug use. Pill Testing Australia provides a free trial for the initial service, so there is no cost to Government or festival/event organisers in the first instance. The service is then costed at $4,000 for each festival/event, which is a cost absorbed by the festival promoters.
At the recent Groovin the Moo festival, the lives of seven young people were potentially saved by a pill testing trial- patrons discarded their drugs after testing alerted them that their pills contained a substance (n-ethylpentylone) which recently caused the deaths of several people in New Zealand. In the interests of minimising harm to vulnerable members of our community and the recent appetite displayed by members of the State Government to investigate pill testing, I believe now is the perfect time for us to add our voice in support of pill testing.

Councillor Sherlock Motion: “This motion seeks for the following items to be given consideration in the development of the City of Hobart’s Reconciliation Action Plan Commitments: 1) The development of a sign, or series of signs, at key access points to the city to provide a welcome in the language of our Tasmanian Aboriginal Community/Palawa people and/or an acknowledgment of the Traditional Custodians of the land in Hobart. For example: a) Signs could be erected alongside existing welcome signs on Davey Street and the Brooker Highway. b) Community engagement with Tasmanian Aboriginal Community/Palawa people should be undertaken to discuss and agree upon the language, design and theme of each sign. 2) That Council write letters to primary schools, high schools and colleges in the Hobart City Council municipality to encourage the flying of the Aboriginal flag. For example: a) If the institution currently flies the Aboriginal flag, a letter of acknowledgement and support could be sent. b) If the institution does not currently fly the Aboriginal flag, a letter of encouragement could be sent alongside relevant literature and information. c) Consideration could be given regarding the Council’s provision of financial support for institutions to be able to purchase an Aboriginal flag. d) Council could also write to the State Government to seek encouragement and support for an increased number of schools flying the Aboriginal flag.” Rationale: “The land upon which Hobart was built always was and always will be Aboriginal land. Our First Nations People, representing the oldest, continuing culture in the world, are the custodians of this place and as such should be recognised visually at the entry points to our city and through the flying of the Aboriginal flag within the context of institutions of education and learning. The Community Vision for our Island Capital document includes the following statements that directly support this motion: We are proud of our history, lineage and ancestry (Identity Statement 2.1).
We recognise the Tasmanian Aboriginal community and their heritage and culture as the foundation of this place (Pillar 2.1.1).
These statements directly lend support to the following aims of the project to develop a Reconciliation Action Plan as included in the Report dated 6 February 2019:
2.4.4 Increasing the visibility of the Aboriginal Community, language, heritage and culture across Hobart, both for residents of and visitors to our city. 2.4.6 Showing leadership on reconciliation in Tasmania and demonstrating the importance and value in reconciliation to the broader community thereby increasing our reputation as an inclusive, proactive and connected City. Historically, in Tasmania there has been a lack of recognition of the Tasmanian Aboriginal Community/Palawa people and of the 40,000 plus years of culture and history. While history cannot be changed, it is imperative that we take heartfelt and practical steps to visually recognise our heritage as a country, and specifically within the local communities around Hobart. Many Councils around the country (see attached Appendix A) have led by example through the development of welcome signs and similar visual acknowledgements. They demonstrate the multifaceted ways in which language and symbols play a significant role in recognition and equitable treatment of our First Nations People. It is noted that whilst education is the role of the State Government, the Council can, nevertheless, encourage a culture of respect, awareness and recognition across educational institutions within our city, something which seems vital for our younger generation of citizens.
Out of respect for our people, our history and moving forward through collaboration, this motion seeks to visually pay respect to elders past, present and emerging.” The General Manager reports:
