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

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 planning items with deputations were received.

COMMITTEE RESOLUTION:

That pursuant to the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997, the Council refuse the application for a Marina at Franklin Wharf Hobart for the following reasons:

 

1.      The Tasmanian Heritage Council has given notice (THC works reference 5959 dated 12 September 2019) that the application should be refused.

 

2.      The proposal does not meet clause 7.3.2 (Cultural Resource Principles) dot point 1 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the proposal does not facilitate development which is compatible with conservation of the Cove's cultural heritage values.

 

 

3.      The proposal does not meet clause 7.3.2 (Cultural Resource Principles) dot point 3 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the proposal compromises the recognisable historic character of the Cove.

 

4.      The proposal does not meet clause 21.2 (a) (Objectives and Performance Criteria for Activities) of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because it does not protect and promote public awareness of Sullivans Cove as a unique example of an historic Australian waterfront, or demonstrate that it will provide a positive contribution to the character of the Cove's historic waterfront environs.

 

5.      The proposal does not meet clause 21.2 (f) of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the development is not sympathetic to the low scale bulk and height characteristics of the Cove floor and does not respect the cultural heritage of buildings, structures and spaces in the Cove.

 

6.      The proposal does not meet clause 22.4.5 dot point 1 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the building or works does not complement or contribute to the cultural significance, character and appearance of the place or its setting.

 

7.      The proposal does not meet clause 22.4.5 dot point 2 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the building or works is not in compliance with the conservation strategy of an approved Conservation Plan when required.

 

 

 

 

8.      The proposal does not meet clause 22.4.5 dot point 3 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the location, bulk and appearance of the building or works adversely affect the heritage values of the place of cultural significance.

 

9.      The proposal does not meet clause 22.4.5 dot point 5 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the building and works are individually prominent.

 

10.    The proposal does not meet clause 23.6.2 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because it is inconsistent with dot points one and four of clause 23.2 because the traditional urban pattern of Sullivans Cove will not be conserved, and the expression of the Wall of the Cove will not be encouraged.

ADVICE

CONFIGURATION OF MARINA

That the applicant be advised that an alternative marina configuration may be more likely to meet the requirements of the Tasmanian Heritage Council and the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997.

Reason for condition

ENG sw1

 

All stormwater from the proposed development (including but not limited to: roofed areas, ag drains, retaining wall ag drains and impervious surfaces such as driveways and paved areas) must be drained to the Council’s stormwater infrastructure prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first).

 

Advice: Under section 23 of the Urban Drainage Act 2013 it is an offence for a property owner to direct stormwater onto a neighbouring property.

 

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure that stormwater from the site will be discharged to a suitable Council approved outlet.

 

 

 

ENG 2a

 

Prior to first occupation or commencement of use (whichever occurs first), vehicular barriers compliant with the Australian Standard AS/NZS1170.1:2002 must be installed to prevent vehicles running off the edge of an access driveway or parking module (parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) where the drop from the edge of the trafficable area to a lower level is 600mm or greater, and wheel stops (kerb) must be installed for drops between 150mm and 600mm. Barriers must not limit the width of the driveway access or parking and turning areas approved under the permit.

 

Advice:

The Council does not consider a slope greater than 1 in 4 to constitute a lower level as described in AS/NZS 2890.1:2004 Section 2.4.5.3. Slopes greater than 1 in 4 will require a vehicular barrier or wheel stop.

 

Designers are advised to consult the National Construction Code 2016 to determine if pedestrian handrails or safety barriers compliant with the NCC2016 are also required in the parking module this area may be considered as a path of access to a building.

Reason for condition

 

To ensure the safety of users of the access driveway and parking module, and that it does not detract from the amenity of users, adjoining occupiers or the environment by preventing dust, mud and sediment transport.

 

ENG 1

 

Any damage to council infrastructure resulting from the implementation of this permit, must, at the discretion of the Council:

 

1.     Be met by the owner by way of reimbursement (cost of repair and reinstatement to be paid by the owner to the Council); or

2.     Be repaired and reinstated by the owner to the satisfaction of the

Council.

 

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.

 

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure that any of the Council's infrastructure and/or site­related service connections affected by the proposal will be altered and/or reinstated at the owner’s full cost.

 

 

ENV 1
