Ref: Part 2, Regulation 8(6) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

Recommendation

 

That the Committee resolve to deal with any supplementary items not appearing on the agenda, as reported by the General Manager.

 

No supplementary items were received.

 

 

 

 

 

4.       Indications of Pecuniary and Conflicts of Interest

Ref: Part 2, Regulation 8(7) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

 

Aldermen are requested to indicate where they may have any pecuniary or conflicts of interest in respect to any matter appearing on the agenda, or any supplementary item to the agenda, which the committee has resolved to deal with.

 

No interest was indicated.

 

 

 

 

5.       Transfer of Agenda Items

Regulation 15 of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

 

A committee may close a part of a meeting to the public where a matter to be discussed falls within 15(2) of the above regulations.

 

In the event that the committee transfer an item to the closed portion, the reasons for doing so should be stated.

 

Are there any items which should be transferred from this agenda to the closed portion of the agenda, or from the closed to the open portion of the agenda?

 

No items were transferred.

6.       Planning Authority Items - Consideration of Items with Deputations

 

In accordance with the requirements of Part 2 Regulation 8(3) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the General Manager is to arrange the agenda so that the planning authority items are sequential.

 

In accordance with Part 2 Regulation 8(4) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the Committee by simple majority may change the order of any of the items listed on the agenda, but in the case of planning items they must still be considered sequentially – in other words they still have to be dealt with as a single group on the agenda.

 

Where deputations are to be received in respect to planning items, past practice has been to move consideration of these items to the beginning of the meeting.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

That in accordance with Regulation 8(4) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the Committee resolve to deal with any items which have deputations by members of the public regarding any planning matter listed on the agenda, to be taken out of sequence in order to deal with deputations at the beginning of the meeting.

 

No items with deputations were received.

 

 

 

RUZICKA

7.       Committee Acting as Planning Authority

 

In accordance with the provisions of Part 2 Regulation 25 of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the intention of the Committee to act as a planning authority pursuant to the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 is to be noted.

 

In accordance with Regulation 25, the Committee will act as a planning authority in respect to those matters appearing under this heading on the agenda, inclusive of any supplementary items.

 

The Committee is reminded that in order to comply with Regulation 25(2), the General Manager is to ensure that the reasons for a decision by a Council or Council Committee acting as a planning authority are recorded in the minutes.

 

 

 

 

7.1     Applications under the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015

 

7.1.1   6 Broughton Avenue, Mount Nelson - Multiple Dwellings

            PLN-18-178 - File Ref: F18/77108

BURNET

1.         The proposal does not meet acceptable solution A3 or performance criteria P3 of clause 12.4.2 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because it is outside the prescribed building envelope and due to the siting and scale of the dwellings, will cause an unreasonable loss of amenity for adjoining neighbours.

 

2.         The proposal does not meet acceptable solution A1 or performance criteria P1 of clause 12.4.3 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because it exceeds 25% site coverage and will result in an unreasonable loss of natural and landscape values, will not be in keeping the character of the pattern of development in the surrounding area and will not provide adequate private open space for future occupants of the dwellings.

 

3.         The proposal does not meet acceptable solution A1 or performance criteria P1 of clause 12.4.9 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because the proposed site area per dwelling of 691sqm is out of character with the pattern of development in the surrounding area, and would result in an unreasonable loss of natural and landscape values.

All assumptions must be stated.

 

4.       Be certified by a suitably qualified engineer

 

 

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved design.

 

 

Advice:

A photographic record of the Council's infrastructure adjacent to the subject site must be provided to the Council prior to any commencement of works.

 

 

A photographic record of the Council’s infrastructure (e.g. existing property service connection points, roads, buildings, stormwater, footpaths, driveway crossovers and nature strips, including if any, pre­existing damage) will be relied upon to establish the extent of damage caused to the Council’s infrastructure during construction. In the event that the owner/developer fails to provide to the Council a photographic record of the Council’s infrastructure, then any damage to the Council's infrastructure found on completion of works will be deemed to be the responsibility of the owner.
