VOTING RECORD

The minutes were signed.

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

Question:

Was the Hobart City Council involved in negotiations sometime around the year 2000 to start selling treated drinking water from Hobart’s Bryn Estyn water treatment plant for use by irrigators in south eastern Tasmania?

Did TasWater or any Tasmanian Government Department notify the Hobart City Council in 2014, or seek permission, before expanding the existing arrangement to sell Hobart’s treated drinking water to irrigators in south eastern Tasmania for up to 100 years?

Answer:

As the question relates to activities dating back 20 years, the Lord Mayor took the question on notice.

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

Question:

We have heard from the Council about the cost of providing the YouthArc facility for use overnight by the Safe Space shelter for homeless people in Hobart. How much does the YouthARC service cost per annum for the 12 hours per week that it is open during the day? Please include staff salaries, staff support costs (ie human resources, administration, stationary and other supplies, LSL etc), market rent for the building and any other costs accrued by the service and its staff.

Is there any reason why the Council offer what is effectively a free after-school-hours child-minding service when there are numerous other options available in Hobart?

Will the Councillors/Aldermen who voted for the Safe Space lease to be terminated in May this year bear any responsibility for the fate of up to 10 homeless people who will likely be left sleeping outside in winter as a result?

Answer:

The City of Hobart provides a variety of targeted programs for young people aged 12 to 25. Many, but not all, of these programs are run from the Youth ARC facility. Youth programs assist young people to navigate challenges, develop pro-social coping skills, engage in arts, culture and civic life and access specialist services where needed. The City of Hobart’s Youth Programs team have delivered a range of programs and activities where they have interacted with just under 3,910 young people between February and April this year.

The Youth ARC facility is currently utilised for youth programs for an average of 26 hours per week. Usage includes skill development workshops, youth events, sector meetings and social and leadership programs. There are also a number of community/health programs delivered at Youth ARC in partnership with organisations such as Headspace, Baptcare, TasTAFE, the Link Youth Health Service and the Youth Network of Tasmania.

The Open Access program alone engages an average of 380 young people, each week. Daily attendance regularly exceeds 120 and includes young people from a wide range of ages, cultural backgrounds, education levels and genders.

Local Government plays a significant role in working directly with young people in our community across Tasmania and more broadly across Australia. Many councils run programs from dedicated youth facilities. The provision of a safe, social and vibrant space for young people to connect and meet has a positive impact on the City by reducing the impact of large numbers of young people congregating in public spaces after school.

The Council is not aware of any other youth centre providing free social and recreational programs after school for young people in Hobart.

The Safe Space program is fully funded by the State Government and managed by Hobart City Mission. At the commencement of the program in December 2019, the City of Hobart was clear that the offer to co-locate the Safe Space program at Youth ARC, was for a six month pilot program whilst a permanent location was sought. The utilisation of the facility has subsequently been extended several times and will have been operating there for nearly 18 months when the licence period concludes on 31 May 2021.

The Lord Mayor took the questions regarding running costs of the service on notice.

That pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for partial demolition, extension and alterations to visitor accommodation, car parking and subdivision (boundary adjustment) at 26 Fitzroy Place and 2 Montgomery Court Sandy Bay TAS 7005 for the following reasons:

1.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 A1 or P1 (a) and (b) of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because it is an incompatible design through its height, scale, bulk, form, fenestration and siting being adjacent to an historic house in a large garden and it also results in the substantial diminution of heritage values through the loss of streetscape elements.

2.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 A2 or P2 (a) to (d) of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because it will not be subservient and complementary to the listed place of an historic house in a large garden due to its scale, bulk, built form and fenestration, setback and siting with respect to listed buildings.

3.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 A3 or P3 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because it does not respond to the heritage characteristics of the place in its materials, built form and fenestration.

4.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.8.2 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because it will result in detriment to the historic cultural heritage values of the precinct of an historic house in a large garden.

That pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for extension and deck at 33 Mary Street North Hobart for the following reasons:

1.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 P1 (a) of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because it is an incompatible design through its height, scale, bulk, form and siting and results in loss of historic cultural heritage values of the listed place.

2.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 P2 (a) and (c) of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because it will not be subservient and complementary to the listed place due to its bulk, scale, built form and siting with respect to the listed buildings.

3.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 P4 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because it detracts from the historic cultural heritage significance of the place as a consequence of its height, bulk, scale, built form and siting with respect to the listed building.
