The Manager Community Programs presented the City for All Implementation Framework (CFAIF) which details the actions to be delivered to implement the overarching Hobart: City for All – Community Inclusion and Equity Framework (City for All). This framework replaces the 2021-23 community commitments detailing actions relating to the following program areas: Equal Access; Youth; Positive Ageing; Community Safety; LGBTIQA+; Multicultural; and Affordable Housing and Homelessness.
|
|
The Manager Community Programs summarised the key features of the framework which included: · Seven separate commitments to be brought under the one framework, which is more streamlined and has less repetition of information than previously. · The actions that have been determined and agreed to by a number of reference committees. · Key priority areas to allow the City to work towards inclusion and equity for all. Committee members discussed: · The Hobart Welcomes All program, the multi-cultural space and accreditation. · Methods to further collaborate on the commitments in the framework across the Greater Hobart Area, the possibility of formalising this approach and strengthening partnerships with neighbouring Councils. · The size of the CFAIF, the practicality of information flow from such a complex series of plans, how it will be reported to elected members and the role of the Place and Wellbeing committee. · The effectiveness of the reference groups. · The late night presence of street safety teams, difficulties in recruiting volunteers and reporting received from other entities such as Tas Police, St Johns Ambulance on what they are seeing. · The budget and costs of the activities in the framework ($2m in 2024-25 & $2.2m in 2025-26.) · The inclusion of the following in the framework: emergency planning, Country, Culture People strategy and the Venue Hire Policy (particularly if used by people with different political beliefs). Members noted that the next step in relation to this framework is Community Engagement. |

7.3 'Park My Ride' - Hobart's Parking Availability App Presentation |
|
The Director Strategic and Regulatory Services Network and the Manager City Transport demonstrated the City’s new parking app; “Park my Ride”. |
|
Committee members noted that the purpose of the parking app is to show parking availability of every City of Hobart owned parking space with a sensor in the Hobart CBD, Salamanca and North Hobart. The Committee discussed: · Accessible parking spaces in and around the City and how the app displays their availability and integrates with Google Maps. · Possible future innovations for the technology including booking car parking spaces and integration with Easy Park. · Cross promotion opportunities with the City’s ‘Park and Ride’ shuttle bus and the Derwent Ferry. · If the Council owns the intellectual property, the possibility of packaging / selling / sharing the app with: other commercial car park operators and to other Councils. · How to access the app easily – via City of Hobart Website, car play and app stores. · The importance of making drivers aware that parking restrictions and payment for parking in the city still applies (it’s not showing free parking). Noting that some parking spaces have different times of operation - not all parking operates between 8.30am to 5.00pm. · Noted the cost of the app ($20,000), once the need to budget for advertising and how to measure the success of the app. |
