1. The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause 15.4.1 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the building height is not compatible with the scale of nearby buildings, does not allow for a transition in height between adjoining buildings, and does not make a positive contribution to the streetscape.

3. The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because there will be loss of the historic cultural significance of the place because of the development’s incompatible design, including its height, bulk, and siting.

4. The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 A2 or P2 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the development has not been designed to be subservient and complementary to the place, due to its scale, bulk, and siting.

9.1      Local Housing Solutions

DEPUTY LORD MAYOR BURNET

That in accordance with Council’s policy, the following Notice of Motion which was adopted by the City Planning Committee, be considered by the Council.

MOTION CARRIED

VOTING RECORD

COMMITTEE RESOLUTION:

Motion:

“That a report be prepared that investigates ways Council can provide advice to property owners regarding dwelling and property modifications, with a view to increase accommodation options across Hobart.

The advice be tailored for people who might want the flexibility to remain living at their property as their lifestyles might change or as they age, and also to increase the dwelling capacity on their property.

The report would:

1)   Structure “plain English” explanations as to options for home modifications, planning requirements and how to meet building codes and heritage considerations.

2)   Identify suitable properties where an increase in the number of dwellings could be possible

3)   Provide more information for such opportunities in partnership with organisations such as the Australian Institute of Architects or Housing Industry Association

4)   Consider allocating officer time as point of contact on finding these local housing solutions

5)   Consider the financial return to Council in order for the program to be successful.”

Rationale:

“ABS figures suggest that in 2016, there were 2.6 occupants per dwelling in Hobart. Much of Hobart’s housing stock is free standing on large blocks. Some properties have been used as family homes and whilst children have since moved on, family homes are still being used with many empty rooms. There may be the chance to down-size on the same property and to increase the number of dwellings, even within the footprint of the original house for example, that may not have been thoroughly contemplated.

The current housing shortage provides Council with good reason to be proactive in finding more solutions by both pointing out what is possible, and where the Planning Schemes limit such options.

Some properties, depending on their zone may lend themselves to having greater numbers of dwellings on the site. This could be floors or sections of a free-standing house that may be strata titled, or could have other freestanding dwellings such as granny flats built on the property.

Providing proactive advice as to possible options that fit with the Planning Schemes and the neighbourhood could help provide dwellings that are low cost but that provide tangible outcomes to Hobart’s housing shortage.”

The Chief Executive Officer advises:

“That this matter relates to planning and building controls and the promotion of housing outcomes consistent with current controls.”

That the information be received and noted.
