A single representation was received prior to the closing date and time. The representation is as follows:-
Representation Response
I oppose the carport been built as there will be no collection tank and a reduced boundary setback.
The carport is being constructed over an existing driveway and will not increase the amount of stormwater currently being disposed of within Council’s reticulated system without a collection tank. Council’s Works Supervisor has advised the system has adequate capacity to cope with the proposed capacity. This ensures the runoff will not cause pollution, soil erosion or flooding to adjacent lots. As the proposed carport and existing garage will have a total length of 20m and be located within 1.5m of the eastern side boundary, the application is discretionary. The site visit dated 17 July 17 noted the siting and scale of the carport will:

INTRODUCTION: To make a recommendation to the Tasmanian Planning Commission regarding draft amendment to the Break O’Day Interim Planning Scheme 2013 and an associated development application. PLANNING APPLICATION INFORMATION: Applicant: Ireneinc Planning obo Hartman Holdings Address: 61A Tully Street, St Helens Advertised: 29 July 2017 to 25 August 2017 Representations: Eight (8) PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: Council – 17 July 2017 – Agenda Item 07/17.6.1 – Amendment 01/2017 – Rezoning the land from Community Purpose zone to General Residential zone; and Development Application: Holiday Park at 61A Tully Street, St Helens. OFFICER’S REPORT: 1. Purpose of Report At its Meeting on Monday 17 July 2017, Council resolved to initiate and certify Amendment 01/2017 to the Break O’Day Interim Planning Scheme 2013 and issue the planning permit DA018-2017. The draft amendment and planning permit were placed on public exhibition and eight (8) representations were received. In accordance with sections 39(2) and 43F(6) of the former Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 (the Act), Council must, within 35 days after the exhibition

Amendment 01/2017 29
period, forward to the Tasmanian Planning Commission a report comprising a copy of each representation and a statement of it opinion on the merit of each representation and any recommendations regarding the draft amendment and planning permit it considers necessary. 2. Application The application for the combined planning scheme amendment and planning permit was lodged in accordance with section 43A of the Act. Amendment 01/2017 is a site specific amendment which would allow:
a) Rezoning the land from Community Purpose Zone to General Residential Zone at 61A Tully Street, St Helens.
The planning permit DA018-2017 would allow for the subject site to be used and development for a Holiday Park. The planning permit is subject to a number of conditions. 3. Public Exhibition The draft amendment and the planning permit were placed on public exhibition between 29 July 2017 and 25 August 2017. Eight (8) representations were received from different representors. 4. Representations The issues raised in the representations are summarised below. Whilst every effort has been made to accurately summarise the issues, the summaries should be read in conjunction with the full representations (attached to agenda). A statement of opinion on the merit of the issues is provided, including consideration of their impact on the draft amendment and planning permit and any need for modification. 4.1 E3 Planning on behalf of Peter Robinson (Representation 1) – no address identifiable in relation to proximity to subject site
Issue Response
The proposal is not considered to contain sufficient strategic justification for it to be approved.
The rezoning to General Residential zone is considered strategically sound, as it will allow for the reuse of underutilised land and buildings that currently has limited options due to the closure of the school. The rezone will balance out the recent rezone of the new hospital site which changed from General Residential to Community Purpose. The large majority of vacant residential zoned land in this vicinity is compromised with access, servicing and flooding issues.
| 09/17.6.2DA018-2017 – Application to Amend the Break O’Day Interim Planning Scheme 2013 – Draft
Amendment 01/2017 30
Issue Response
There is no requirement of guarantee that the development application of the caravan park would be implemented and the land would remain to be developed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the planning scheme.
Whilst there is no guarantee that the development will proceed into the future, the zone to General Residential is compatible with the adjoining land uses, that the current land zone which would provide for emergency services, hospital services, educational and occasional care. This land is no longer required for key community facilities. Any further development of the site, apart from this subject planning application, would be subject to consideration against the zone provisions both use and development standards in effect at the time of the lodgement of any future planning application.
Oversupply of caravan parks within St Helens. The supply of caravan parks and the competitive nature is not a consideration of the Planning Scheme. Provided that the development was consistent with the relevant provisions of the Planning Scheme then Council cannot refuse the use on whether there was too many caravan parks current at the time or had been approved. With the increase in tourism activity of recent times, it is imperative to encourage tourism operators and investors to the Break O’Day area and provide a range of accommodation types and choices.
Amenity impacts of a caravan park adjoining large number of residential properties having potential to create significant amenity impacts including noise, lighting, vehicle movements and odour.
The preparation of a management plan to be prepared that addresses the impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties including noise, hours, lighting, dust is recommended to be included in conditions relating to the development application. Landscaping and lighting conditions are included in the conditions and the reduction in powered and unpowered sites to the south of the subject site will assist in an extended buffer to the adjoining properties in Heather Place. It is within the commercial interests of the operators that management protects the amenity of guests and neighbouring properties alike.
4.2 Tim and Sandi Purdie (Representation 2) – Adjoining land owner
Issue Response
Noise study conducted in relation to impact of the industrial area. No noise study conducted for proposal. Concerns raised in relation to noise of Holiday Park.
The noise study conducted is a requirement under E11 Environmental Impacts and Attenuation Code of the Planning Scheme in relation to the distance to the industrial area. The preparation of a management plan to be prepared that addresses the impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties including noise, hours, lighting, dust is recommended to be included in conditions relating to the development application.
Concern of distance of BBQ are to representors property.
The BBQ area of concern is separated from the representors boundary by a 3m wide landscape buffer, then an internal road, then distance as well as further landscaping. The representors dwelling is located not to the rear of their site, rather they have a shed to the rear as well as their own landscaping including a hedge and fencing.
| 09/17.6.2DA018-2017 – Application to Amend the Break O’Day Interim Planning Scheme 2013 – Draft
Amendment 01/2017 31
Issue Response
Concerns raised in relation to 3.0m wide vegetation screen not being wide enough to reduce any noise.
As well as the 3.0m wide landscape buffer, an internal access road separates the buildings (cabins) from the representors boundary, providing physical separation. As the internal road is a dead-end at this area, there is expected to minimal traffic movements along this section of the site.
Concerns raised in relation to dust created by vehicle movement internally to the subject site from gravel road.
The surface finish of the internal vehicle access is not intended to be constructed in such a way that would cause dust as this would diminish the amenity of neighbours and visitors alike. Two (2) existing conditions (now numbered 8 and 9) mitigate the issue in relation to dust and the requirement of an impervious surface to access and car parking.
Concerns raised in relation to park residents forced to smoke cigarettes outside and along the representors property boundary.
The preparation of a management plan to be prepared that addresses the impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties including noise, hours, lighting, dust is recommended to be included in conditions relating to the development application. It is unlikely that park residents would be forced to smoke cigarettes along the representors immediate boundary due to the 3.0m wide landscape buffer and width of internal access road in this section.
Concerns raised in relation to general unrestricted camp noise from kids riding bikes.
This should be considered a positive activity in residential areas, any noise issues in relation to this could be managed in a management plan to be implemented.
Oversupply of caravan parks within St Helens. The supply of caravan parks and the competitive nature is not a consideration of the Planning Scheme. Provided that the development was consistent with the relevant provisions of the Planning Scheme then Council cannot refuse the use on whether there was too many caravan parks current at the time or had been approved.
4.3 Susan Breen (Representation 3) - Adjoining land owner
Issue Response
Concerns raised in relation to diesel vehicle emissions. This is not a consideration of the Planning Scheme specifically. The use is not considered to be a hazardous or necessarily of use providing any detrimental pollutants.
Concerns raised in relation to vehicle activity and traffic numbers.
The implications for traffic have been discussed further within the Traffic Impact Assessment that accompanied the application that found traffic generation of the development at peak times is unlikely to have adverse impacts on the operation of surround streets.
The Managers residence is part of Stage 2, has provision been made for an on-site manager in stage 1.
The preparation of a management plan to be prepared that addresses the impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties including noise, hours, lighting, dust is recommended to be included in conditions relating to the development application. A Managers Residence will be constructed at Stage 2, when the majority of the built infrastructure will be funded.

Amendment 01/2017 32
Issue Response
Oversupply of caravan parks within St Helens. The supply of caravan parks and the competitive nature is not a consideration of the Planning Scheme. Provided that the development was consistent with the relevant provisions of the Planning Scheme then Council cannot refuse the use on whether there was too many caravan parks current at the time or had been approved.
4.4 Jason Sherriff (Representation 4) – Developer of recently approved St Helens Point Road Holiday Park
Issue Response
Insufficient strategic analysis provided to support submission that demonstrates demand for additional land to be zoned to General Residential, where an oversupply is current.
The rezoning to General Residential zone is considered strategically sound, as it will allow for the reuse of underutilised land and buildings that currently has limited options due to the closure of the school. The rezone will balance out the recent rezone of the new hospital site which changed from General Residential to Community Purpose. The large majority of vacant residential zoned land in this vicinity is compromised with access, servicing and flooding issues.
Oversupply of caravan parks within St Helens. The supply of caravan parks and the competitive nature is not a consideration of the Planning Scheme. Provided that the development was consistent with the relevant provisions of the Planning Scheme then Council cannot refuse the use on whether there was too many caravan parks current at the time or had been approved.
4.5 Wayne Fulford (Representation 5) - Adjoining land owner
Issue Response
Community wellbeing concerns raised. The preparation of a management plan to be prepared that addresses the impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties including noise, hours, lighting, dust is recommended to be included in conditions relating to the development application.
Inequity and lack of resources of residents, whereby the proponent has time and consultants to assist.
The timeframe for the preparation of representations in accordance with the Act has been complied with. The proponent engaged relevantly qualified consultants to demonstrate that the proposal could be considered on its own merits. The representors will have a chance to attend a hearing by the Tasmanian Planning Commission to further work through their issues.
Concerns raised in relation to dirt-bike riders and mountain bike riders using the site.
Dirt-bikes are largely an unregistered bike and would therefore likewise be prevented from being used on neighbouring roads. The concerns raised in relation to mountain bike riders is generally considered a positive activity in residential areas.
| 09/17.6.2DA018-2017 – Application to Amend the Break O’Day Interim Planning Scheme 2013 – Draft
Amendment 01/2017 33
Issue Response
Amenity concerns in relation to ensuite amenities and impact including odour, noise and visual impact and property valuations decreased.
It is of concern the location of the amenities sites to the north of the adjoining properties at 8-18 Heather Place and particularly given the predominant wind direction that may carry odour and noise is north-westerly, and the inclusion of only a 3.0m landscape buffer to these sites, it is recommended that these four (4) structures and 12 sites be removed from the proposal. Property valuation is not a consideration of the Planning Scheme.
Stormwater disposal concerns and runoff to adjoining lots.
The design includes measures to mitigate overland flows in the event of flooding with the construction of a 450m2 stormwater detention basin that is to be drained to recently upgraded public infrastructure in Young Street.
Concerns that the development would cause traffic congestion in Tully Street and Annie Street.
The implications for traffic have been discussed further within the Traffic Impact Assessment that accompanied the application that found traffic generation of the development at peak times is unlikely to have adverse impacts on the operation of surround streets.
Future fire risk of landscaped buffer zone. The preparation of a management plan to be prepared that addresses the impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties including noise, hours, lighting, dust is recommended to be included in conditions relating to the development application. The plan must consider the management of onsite fires.
4.6 Les and Heather Down (Representation 6) - Adjoining land owner
Issue Response
Concerns raised in relation to noise of vehicles and occupants of the Holiday Park.
The preparation of a management plan to be prepared that addresses the impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties including noise, hours, lighting, dust is recommended to be included in conditions relating to the development application.
4.7 Mark and Gina Bell (Representation 7) - Adjoining land owner
Issue Response
Concerns raised in relation to vehicle activity and traffic numbers.
The implications for traffic have been discussed further within the Traffic Impact Assessment that accompanied the application that found traffic generation of the development at peak times is unlikely to have adverse impacts on the operation of surround streets.
Concerns raised in relation substantial increase in lighting.
Lighting on-site is intended to be minimal, with lighting for central amenity blocks to assist in navigation and otherwise limited to low bollards that reduce light shed. A condition on the permit relates to lighting.
Concerns raised in relation to dust created by vehicle movement internally to the subject site from gravel road.
The surface finish of the internal vehicle access is not intended to be constructed in such a way that would cause dust as this would diminish the amenity of neighbours and visitors alike. Two existing conditions (now numbered 8 and 9) mitigate the issue in relation to dust.

Amendment 01/2017 34
Issue Response
Concerns raised in relation to noise increase by Holiday Park and no curfews able to be enforced.
The preparation of a management plan to be prepared that addresses the impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties including noise, hours, lighting, dust is recommended to be included in conditions relating to the development application. It is within the commercial interests of the operators that management protects the amenity of guests and neighbouring properties alike.
Concerns in relation to infrastructure capacity for increased sewerage.
This is a matter of consideration of TasWater. It should be noted that TasWater have provided a Submission to Planning Authority Notice dated 13 June 2017 TWDA 2017/00166-BODC. No concerns were raised by TasWater in relation to capacity of their infrastructure.
Concerns raised in relation to 3.0m wide vegetation screen not being wide enough to reduce any noise or reduce privacy.
It is of concern the location of the amenities sites to the north of the adjoining properties at 8-18 Heather Place and particularly given the predominant wind direction that may carry odour and noise is north-westerly, and the inclusion of only a 3.0m landscape buffer to these sites, it is recommended that these four (4) structures and 12 sites be removed from the proposal.
Stormwater disposal concerns and runoff to adjoining lots.

4.8 Ireneinc (Representation 8) - Applicant
Issue Response
This representation was provided by the applicant on behalf of their client, supporting the Council planning officer’s recommendations.
Noted.
5. Conclusion There are no reasons for Council not to proceed with the draft Amendment 01/2017 and planning permit DA018-2017. The report has provided an assessment of the representations and should be forwarded to the Tasmanian Planning Commission with a recommendation that it be approved with only a minor alteration to the conditions of the planning permit to deal with amenity impacts to the properties at 8-18 Heather Place, St Helens.

Leadership needs to be shown by the leaders of our communities to address the issue which seems to be in part driving this behaviour and the increasing division in our community.

Request from Ratepayer
OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION: That in accordance with the provisions of s.129 of the Local Government Act 1993, Council approve a remission as requested for the property known as 14 Mangana Road, Fingal identified as PID 6413332. INTRODUCTION: Council has received correspondence from Malahide Golf Club requesting a remission for the general rate 2017/2018. Due to the nature of the charge, a request is required annually to remit this charge. PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Previous remission of general rate granted 2015/2016 and 2016/2017. OFFICER’S REPORT: The Secretary of the Malahide Golf Club has written requesting a remission of the general rate due to the Club struggling to meet their financial needs. There is course upkeep, maintenance, renovations and clubhouse maintenance, which is undertaken as much as possible by volunteers. A remission was approved for the general rate in 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 due to financial hardship. The Club endeavours to keep the facility up and running as a benefit to Fingal and neighbouring communities by providing recreational and social options. However, due to limited membership the Club continues to experience financial difficulties. No additional financial reports or information has been provided. Council’s Rate Remissions and Exemptions Policy allows for the option of remitting the general rate, if Council believes that the property provides a community benefit. LG011 (4).

No previous consideration. OFFICER’S REPORT: The North East Tasmania Land Trust Incorporated (NETLT) has recently taken over land at Lot 4 Tasman Highway, St Helens. The property is 3,000 m², with a classification of Vacant Residential and zoning of Environmental Management. NETLT have requested a remission for the total rates on the following basis;
The organisation is a registered charity.
Has deductible gift recipient status.
The property is land tax exempt.
The intention is to keep this block and maintain it as a reserve. The organisation likens this land to the Winifred Curtis reserve, in addition to this they believe their status as a charitable organisation would allow them an exemption under section 87(1)(d) of the Local Government Act 1993 – “land or part of land owned and occupied exclusively for charitable purposes”. The land in question is not occupied, therefore does not qualify for an exemption under this section of the Act. There is no conservation covenant over the land. Several properties owned by similar environmental organisations do not receive any remission of rates or service charges.

Events Community Services team have been supporting the committees of the following groups with their events in relation to assistance with planning and delivery of same: Planning:
Shell Questacon Science Circus;
St Helens Regatta Rocks on;
Triathlon;
National Qualifier – World XPD Series; and
St Helens Hospital Auxiliary Progressive Dinner. Leaner Driver Program This program has continued to support our youth and disengaged, unlicensed drivers in not only gaining their licences, but also addressing issues of social isolation, lack of self-confidence and self-worth. There are three (3) new Mentors who have commenced driving hours for the month of August. We now have six (6) active mentors on the books with one (1) generous mentor attending to two (2) middle aged learners (Mathinna and St Marys) every Friday, which is a big help! A big thank you to those in our community who volunteer their valuable time to assist with this program:
We currently have six (6) Mentors on the books.
There was a huge increase in learners for August, the numbers went from 18 reported for July to 27 active Leaners and two (2) now on the waiting list, this has also increased the driving hours to a record number of 109.25 hours for the month of August.
Results for the month: Two (2) Learners passed their International Changeover, Two (2) Learners failed her Provisional Licence for minor errors which is put
down the nerves; Two (2) learners passed their Provisionals; and Two (2) passed their L2 assessments.
Employment: Another Learner whom achieved her Licence has now scored herself a full time dream job at Tourism Tasmania, which takes the employment number to two (2) full time jobs for the calendar year. In fact the Mentee who gained her dream job, was so appreciative of her life change (from the program) that she quoted the following:
‘As I got older I was getting more and more anxious about even the thought of driving. I felt unreliable, isolated and was constantly depending on others. I put myself down that I couldn’t do something that seemed so simple to others. The program broke learning down into achievable pieces, built my confidence and even gave me enthusiasm to learn! After passing my Ps test (a huge achievement for me) I have new confidence and independence and am now working in my dream job. The program taught me not only to drive, but also to be proud of small progress. I owe such a huge thanks to BOD Council and the people that volunteer their time to make this possible.’

26 TEN
It was great to catch up with our new literacy coordinator this month. Polly Fowler is very keen to work together with 26TEN to reach as many people as possible that need assistance with their reading, writing or maths. We will be delivering a 26 Steps Awareness Workshop during October. This workshop is designed to explain the impact of low literacy on individuals and on the Tasmanian community, the extent of the issue and what is being done to support adult literacy. The session also raises awareness and introduces organisations and community groups to ways they can get involved.
We have also spoken with a considerable amount of people in our region that left school confident about their skills but changes in our workplaces and everyday life since then have placed new pressures on them. The 26TEN network wants to see plain English become the communication choice throughout Tasmania. Being able to understand and act on a document the first time you read it creates a more efficient working environment with less mistakes and complaints to sort out. We are currently investigating ways to transform our communications into a plain language because Plain English is not easy to write, it takes time and practice to do it well – but the rewards are great.
We have a very keen group of literacy volunteers in our area. At present we are looking at numbers, and the possibility of having a training package presented in our area as it is not viable to have volunteers travel to Launceston for a period of eight (8) days.
