Reporting Brief:
To seek Council’s decision, acting as planning authority, on:

Modifying the Glenorchy Draft Interim Planning Scheme 2014 to bring it into
conformity with the requirements of the Land Use Planning and Approval Act
1993, as outlined in the Minister for Planning’s Direction Notice.

Submitting the modified scheme for declaration.

Undertaking statutory public exhibition of the Glenorchy Interim Planning
Scheme for forty-two days once the scheme has been declared.
Proposal in Detail:
Background
On 17th March 2014 Council resolved to submit the Glenorchy Draft Interim
Planning Scheme 2014 (GDIPS 2014) to the Minister for Planning requesting it be
declared as an interim planning scheme under section 30F of the Land Use Planning
and Approvals Act 1993 (the Act) (refer to Attachment 1 for a copy of the 17 March
2014 Council Report).
The development of the new planning scheme has resulted from the State
Government’s planning reform process, which seeks to ensure consistent and
contemporary planning schemes that streamline the planning system across the
State.
The new planning scheme has standard State provisions, including standard zones,
use classes and standard layout and content requirements, along with regional
(relevant to the southern region) and local (relevant to Glenorchy) provisions.
The Tasmanian Planning Commission’s Interim Planning Scheme Advisory Committee
(the Advisory Committee) was established in June 2014 to consider the Southern
Draft Interim Planning Schemes and provide advice to the Minister for Planning on
compliance with the Act for the purposes of declaration.
The Advisory Committee assessed compliance of all of the schemes with sections 20
(What can a planning scheme provide for?) 21 (Co-ordination of planning schemes)
and 30E (Contents of interim planning scheme) of the Act.
The Advisory Committee found that while none of the Southern Draft Interim
Planning Schemes were compliant with the Act in the form submitted to the
Minister, that subject to some changes, they could be declared.
In December 2014 Council officers were given the opportunity to provide comment
on the Exposure Draft of the Advisory Committee’s Compliance Report and draft
Directions Notice. Some of the Council officer comments have been addressed in
the final Directions Notice.
Alderman updates on the progress of the project have been provided as requested.
11
Directions Notice
On 4th February 2015, the Minister for Planning provided Council with a Directions
Notice identifying the changes required to bring GDIPS 2014 into compliance with
the Act (refer to Attachment 2 – Copy of Minister’s letter and Attachment 3 the
Section 30D Notice).
Council officers consider the majority of the changes to be acceptable (refer to
Attachment 4 for a table of all recommended changes under the Directions Notice
and officer comment on each change). However the following changes warrant
discussion:

Revision of the wording used to describe the ‘Application’ of the Biodiversity
Code (Part B – local content: Recommendation 3.1)
Officer Comment:
The wording of the ‘Application’ provision for this Code is based on legal advice
provided to Council. The change is required to achieve consistency with other
schemes in the region.
The change will not have any significant impacts on the outcomes Council was
seeking to achieve with the application of the Code.
It is recommended that Council accept the change and monitor its impact once
the new scheme comes into operation. Council will have the opportunity to
consider whether to raise this matter in its report to the Tasmanian Planning
Commission (TPC) on submissions received on the scheme following the public
exhibition process.

Deletion of the Streetscape Character Code (Part B – local content:
Recommendation 3.4)
Officer Comment:
Loss of the Code will not have a significant negative impact on development or
amenity outcomes for these areas. The properties do not have existing heritage
controls.
While disappointing, this can be addressed via a future amendment, where
there is community support for such an outcome.

Inclusion of Collinsvale in the Rural Living Zone rather than a Village Zone (Part B
– local content: Recommendation 5.1)
Officer comment:
The Rural Living Zone is consistent with the current Rural Residential Zoning of
the area. However, the Village Zoning would have confirmed the ‘sense of
place’ that is evident in the area rather than an undifferentiated Rural Living
Zone. Property owners and occupiers will not see any significant changes to
their current development rights and opportunities under the proposed Rural
Living Zone.
Applying a Village Zone to the area could be addressed via a future amendment,
subject to community support.
12

Minor wording changes (Part A – regional content: Recommendations 3.6 and
3.8 and Part B – local content Recommendation 12.1)
Officer Comment:
The provisions drafted to comply with recommendation 3.8 appear to be an
overly strict interpretation of the intent of the recommendation. The other
recommendations require wording changes that are superfluous or duplicate
legislation.
Council can monitor the impact of these changes once the new scheme comes
into operation and consider whether to raise this matter in its report to the TPC
following the public exhibition process.

Amending the Scheme to include any Planning Scheme Amendments approved
since GDIPS 2014 was submitted in April 2014. (Part B - local content:
Recommendation 9.1)
Officer comment:
It is recommended that these changes be undertaken by Council officers as the
amendments have been supported by Council through the assessment process.
Declaration of the Scheme and the Public Exhibition process
Once declared the Interim Planning Scheme will become fully operational and any
new planning permit application received must be assessed against it. Transitional
provisions under the Act enable permit applications not determined prior to the
declaration of the Interim Planning Scheme to be assessed against the provisions of
the Glenorchy Planning Scheme 1992.
The Interim Planning Scheme is required to be placed on public exhibition for 42
days in accordance with section 30H of the Act. The community will have the
opportunity to make submissions on the Interim Planning Scheme.
The public exhibition process will include:

Media release, webpage updates, gazette articles advising of the exhibition
process.

Letters to all owners/occupiers, key community groups, government agencies
and key stakeholders.

Statutory notice in the Mercury newspaper.

Community information sessions (Glenorchy and Collinsvale).
The planning scheme document and maps will be available on line at the State
government iPlan website: www.iplan.tas.gov.au
At the end of the exhibition period, Council will have three months to prepare a
report on the operation of the scheme and the submissions received and submit it to
the TPC. A report to Council will be provided at this time.
13
The legislative changes introduced in January 2015 removed the requirement for the
TPC to hold hearings on each of the representations received. The TPC will consider
all applicable matters and may recommend to the Minister for Planning that an
urgent amendment to the Interim Planning Scheme be undertaken, or that Council
be directed to prepare a separate amendment to the Interim Scheme that would be
subject to a public hearing process.
The interim schemes will not be formally approved. It is understood that the State
will use the information from the exhibition process to develop a single planning
scheme for the State. New legislation to introduce a single State planning scheme is
likely to be considered in late 2015.
Consultations:
The Glenorchy Draft Interim Planning Scheme has been the developed with the
benefit of extensive consultation including:

Public consultation on the Glenorchy Interim Land Use Planning Strategy.

Public consultation on the Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy 20102035.

Public consultation on the Glenorchy Draft Interim Planning Scheme 2013.
The Planning Scheme Review project is now managed within the Planning Services
program budget.
From a risk management perspective, the major risk relates to the Interim Planning
Scheme becoming fully operational once it is declared, without the benefit of it being
tested through a public consultation and assessment process. However the new
Interim Planning Scheme represents a direct translation of the current Glenorchy
Planning Scheme 1992, subject to some changes that would need to be ‘reasonably
necessary’ to achieve consistency with and to further the objectives of the Southern
Tasmanian Regional Land Use Strategy 2010 – 2035.
Any significant errors or anomalies may be able to be addressed through an urgent
amendment to the interim scheme under section 30IA of the Act.
The new interim scheme is required to be publically exhibited in accordance with the
provisions of the Act. A full mail out to property owners and occupiers, media
release, website updates and public information sessions will also occur.
14
Recommendation:
That Council, acting as planning authority under the Land Use Planning and
Approvals Act 1993:
(a)
Endorse the amendments to the Glenorchy Draft Interim Planning Scheme
2014 identified in the Section 30D (6) Directions Notice under the Land Use
Planning and Approvals Act 1993 (the Act).
(b)
Delegate to the Coordinator Planning Services, pursuant to Section 6 of the
Act, the authority to amend the Glenorchy Draft Interim Planning Scheme 2014
to include any planning scheme amendments approved by the Tasmanian
Planning Commission since the submission of the scheme for declaration.
(c)
Submit the revised Glenorchy Draft Interim Planning Scheme 2014 to the
Minister for Planning for declaration under Section 30D (7) of the Act.
(d)
Exhibit the declared Glenorchy Interim Planning Scheme 2014 for 42 days in
accordance with Section 30H of the Act and Council’s consultation program.

10. COMMUNITY ROAD SAFETY PARTNERSHIP COMMITTEE
Author:
Transport Engineer (Amir Mousavi)
Qualified Person:

Grierson
ECM File Reference:
Community Road Safety Partnership Committee
We continue to be a safe, inclusive, active, healthy and vibrant community.
1.3.3 Advocate for, partner with, or deliver services that address identified levels of
community need.
3.2.1 Set priorities for management of our natural and built environments in
partnership with our communities.
3.2.3 Deliver services that create sustainable and liveable built environments.
Reporting Brief:
The purpose of this report is to inform Council on the history of Community Road
Safety Partnership (CRSP) Committee and the recent changes to the CRSP program
made by the Department of State Growth. The report recommends that the current
CRSP Committee’s term of reference be changed based on the new Community Road
Safety Grant program.
Proposal in Detail:
The Department of State Growth (previously the Department of Infrastructure,
Energy and Resources – DIER) introduced the Community Road Safety Partnership
(CRSP) program in 2003 with the aim of partnering with local government authorities
to promote ownership of road safety at the local level and to inspire and enlist the
involvement of communities in the ‘battle against road trauma’. The rationale
behind this was that local communities are able to better recognise local road safety
concerns and develop innovative strategies, such as non-infrastructure strategies,
that address the issues they have identified.
In 2004, Glenorchy City Council established the CRSP Committee through the DIER
Partnership Agreement, to develop and implement projects that are aimed at
improving community road safety. Members of the committee include an aldermanic
representative, Council’s Traffic Engineer, Council’s Safer Communities Co-ordinator,
State Growth’s Road Safety Branch Officer, RACT representative, Glenorchy Police
representative and two community members. The CRSP Committee meets every
second months.
16
Some of the successful projects supported and undertaken by the CRSP Committee
are as follows:












Drive Time Learner Driver Mentor Program operating from the Goodwood
Community House;
Learner Licence Assistance Program operating at U-Turn, Workskills, Glenorchy
LINC, West Moonah Community House and Campbell Page;
Road safety general awareness promoted through Glenorchy Gazette,
Glenorchy Safer Communities Committee web page, local community news
letters, notice boards and social media outlets;
School bus safety education promoted in primary schools;
‘Use Your Head Don’t End Up Dead’ program promoting awareness of alcohol
and driving, speed and distraction amongst young drivers;
Speed awareness at the opening of ‘Fast and Furious 6’ Village Cinema
Glenorchy promoting Tasmania’s Speak out against Speed campaign and the
local ‘Glenorchy Use Your Head Don’t End Up Dead’ initiative;
Speed awareness with the Digital Speed Display Trailer in targeted streets;
Street Cricket conducted in partnership with CRSP and Cricket TAS in Gepp
Parade;
Road safety awareness displays at Northgate Shopping Centre;
Keys to Ps at Council with Steps Groups;
Promotion of road safety to novice drivers at youth events;
Older driver workshop conducted during Senior Week.
It is noted that there has been no budget allocated for the CRSP program by Council
in the past. Rather the required financial support has come from State Government
or existing budgets for community development projects. Limited funding sources
have to some extent constrained what the CRSP Committee can do but innovative
approaches and co-operation have delivered worthwhile outcomes.
Notwithstanding the successful innovative projects to date, the Department of State
Growth in their letter of 24th February 2015 (refer Attachment 1) informed Council
that due to budgetary constraints the direction and operation of community road
safety is being changed and the CRSP program will cease from 1st March 2015. This
means that the Department of State Growth is no longer able to provide
representation on the Council Committee to assist with the implementation of
projects. Instead, the Department of State Growth proposes to replace the CRSP
program with a direct funding or grants model approach. The new program will
provide Councils and community organisations with the opportunity to apply for
funding to continue to undertake initiatives to address local road safety issues, but
with increased autonomy.
The new program will require councils and community organisations to submit
funding applications to the Department of State Growth against, yet to be defined,
funding criteria. The proposed initiatives will then be funded through the new
program subject to the approval by the Department of State Growth.
17
Detailed information in relation to the new program has not been received as yet.
Consequently, it is recommended that the current CRSP Committee’s terms of
reference be reviewed, based on the additional information about the new program
once it is received from the Department of State Growth.
Consultations:
Alderman Branch-Allen
ELT
No human resource or financial implications apply at this stage.
It is considered that no community consultation is required at this stage, with the
exception of CRSP Committee members, who should be informed of the changes.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that current CRSP Committee activities and meetings be placed
on hold until receiving detailed information associated with the new Community
Road Safety Grant program and the Committee’s term of reference then be
reviewed, based on the new funding program.

matter.
4.1.1.01 Ensure preparedness for disaster by maintaining and continually reviewing
the City’s Emergency Management Strategies.
Reporting Brief:
To seek Council endorsement for the revised Glenorchy Emergency Management
Plan 2015, as attached, and submit to the Commissioner of Police as the State
Emergency Management Controller for approval.
Proposal in Detail:
The Emergency Management Act 2006 requires councils to review their Emergency
Management Plans every two years. The current plan was approved by the
Commissioner in March 2013 and is now due for review.
Council’s Emergency Management Committee, chaired by Alderman Steven King, has
overseen the review of the current plan. This committee comprises representatives
from within Council and also external emergency service agencies. Alderman Slade
is also a member of this committee.
The author updated the document and circulated it to the committee members for
review and comment. In December 2014 the comments were collated into a final
version. The final draft was again circulated to the Glenorchy Emergency
Management Committee in February 2015 to seek out of session endorsement in
preparation for submission to Council.
The format and template for Municipal Emergency Management Plans is determined
by the State Emergency Service.
Apart from a number of minor editing changes to reflect new position titles and state
government department names, the only significant change is the reference to the
study and report undertaken on the flood early warning system and evacuation plan
for the Glenorchy CBD and surrounding areas as this report was finalised after the
March 2013 plan was approved. This flood report will be subject to a further report
to Council in the near future.

Consultations:

There are no additional HR or financial resource implications in adopting this plan.
The Glenorchy Emergency Management Plan 2015 will be on the State Emergency
Services and the Glenorchy City Council websites once approved by the
Commissioner.
Recommendation:
That Council endorses the Glenorchy Emergency Management Plan 2015 and
submits this plan to the Commissioner of Police for approval.

the Council’s Sport and Recreation Strategy.
1.4.3 Promote recreational activity by maintaining and improving facilities and
assisting access to funding for sporting and community groups.
4.1.2 Ensure Council is open and transparent in its communication and dealings

Reporting Brief:
1.
Football Federation Tasmania wishes to enter into a new lease agreement with
Glenorchy City Council for the Soccer Grounds and Administration and
Clubroom buildings within the KGV Soccer Park located at 16-18 Grove Road in
Glenorchy.
2.
This report seeks Council approval to advertise its intent under section 178 of
the Local Government Act 1993 (Tas) to lease the land at the KGV Soccer Park
to Football Federation Tasmania.
Proposal in Detail:
Council has received a request from the Football Federation Tasmania to enter into
negotiations to formulate a combined lease, as their current two leases have
expired.
Football Federation Tasmania (previously known as Soccer Tasmania Limited) have
been long term tenants, with their current lease commencing in 1993. Currently
Football Federation Tasmania have two long term leases, one for the Soccer
Ground/Park, and another for the Administration and Clubroom buildings.
The leases for the KGV Soccer Park and the Administration Headquarters/Clubrooms
have expired and the Lessee, Football Federation Tasmania Limited has proposed to
combine the two leases and extend the term for a further lease of ten years (10)
with a ten (10) year extension option. It is on this basis that a new lease be
negotiated to combine the previous terms of the leases.
22
Please refer to the attached correspondence (Attachment 1) from Football
Federation Tasmania 23 June 2014 for further information.
The proposed lease is conditional on the following terms being included in the lease
document.
a)
The lease term be ten (10) years with a ten (10) year option.
b)
Lease fee to be $30,000 for the first year, $35,000 second year, $40,000 Third
year, $45,000 for every year after plus annual CPI increases.
c)
Any new construction or site safety and security requirements or
modifications are to be installed to recognised or endorsed safety standards
provided by the Governing Authority. Certification to be the responsibility
and expense of Football Federation Tasmania.
Council staff do recognise that Football Federation Tasmania are a long term tenant
and they provide a well-managed administration facility providing recreational
opportunities and acknowledges that they wish to stay within the KGV precinct.
The Assessed Annual Value (AAV) for the administration and clubroom property is
$13,200, and the AAV for the Soccer ground is $21,200.
The synthetic playing turf has recently been installed. This turf will need to be
replaced in 10 years, at a quoted price of $450,000. This will be the responsibility of
Glenorchy City Council.
It is noted that the amount of AAV plus the replacement cost of the turf, and
additional maintenance will not be covered by the annual lease revenue. This facility
is a community sporting and as such, Council will need to contribute to ensure the
continuation of this sporting facility.
Consultations:
Council officers completed the following internal consultation:Executive Leadership Team
Council Lawyer
Manager Parks and Gardens
Executive Manager Finance and Business
Council staff will be required to develop a new lease and current revenue will be
maintained for the lease period.
As part of the lease, risk management and safety are considered a priority for a site
hosting these activities and will be managed within the lease documentation.
Prior to executing the proposed lease, Council is required to advertise its intention to
enter into a long-term lease arrangement in accordance with Section 178 of the
Local Government Act (leasing of land).
A community engagement plan will be implemented in accordance with advice from

13. ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INTERNAL LIAISON COMMITTEE WITH
THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE GROWTH FOR THE BROOKER
HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND THE APPOINTMENT
OF TWO ALDERMEN TO THIS COMMITTEE

matter.
Reporting Brief:
To advise Council of the establishment of an internal liaison committee with the
Department of State Growth specifically for the Brooker Highway/Elwick
Road/Goodwood Road and Howard Road junctions, and to seek the appointment of
two aldermen to this committee.
Proposal in Detail:
The Department of State Growth is planning to upgrade the Brooker Highway
junctions at Howard Road, Goodwood and Elwick Roads. Refer to Attachment 1 for
design details.
These upgrades were identified as high priority in the 2012 Strategic Review of the
Brooker Highway.
The Project will:
-
improve the efficiency of the Brooker Highway as a key strategic and freight
corridor north of Hobart;
-
improve traffic flow and minimise peak-time bottlenecks; and
-
improve connections between local communities.
The proposed works include:
-
replacement of Howard Road roundabout with a new signalised intersection;
25
-
realignment of Elwick Road and Goodwood Road to form one signalised
intersection;
-
coordination of the signals at both intersections for maximum traffic flow
efficiency, especially at peak travel times;
-
signalised pedestrian crossings at the intersections;
-
access to Timsbury Road from Howard Road;
-
three through-lanes in each direction;
-
on-road advanced bicycle storage boxes; and
-
shared pathway for pedestrians and cyclists along Brooker Highway.
The $32 million project is jointly funded by the Australian Government and the
Government of Tasmania.
The works are scheduled to commence at the end of 2015 and conclude at the end
of 2017.
As this is a very busy section of highway, construction will be staged and traffic
managed to minimise the impact on traffic flow and on nearby businesses and
residents.
The Department of State Growth has recently undertaken a public consultation
program on the Brooker Highway project and has lodged a development application.
This project has the potential to raise community concerns and it is considered
appropriate to proactively plan for such issues and be able to respond appropriately
through having relevant staff and elected members with direct channels of
communication with the Department of State Growth project manager.
The project manager at State Growth has been contacted in relation to the proposal
of setting up a liaison committee and fully supports the concept and agreed that the
project manager should attend these meetings. It was also agreed that the meetings
should be convened after the statutory process of the current planning application
to ensure lines of communication are clear.
Consultations:
ELT
Transport Engineer
Manager Infrastructure and Engineering Services
Coordinator Communication and Marketing
The internal liaison committee will include two aldermen and key staff such as the
Manager Infrastructure and Engineering services, Transport Engineer and
Coordinator Communication and Marketing. No additional resources will be
required.
26
The establishment of this committee will be a positive approach to pro-actively
manage any issues or public concerns raised during the construction project.
Recommendation:
(a)
That Council call for nominations from Aldermen including the Mayor to fill
two positions on the Internal Liaison Committee with the Department of State
Growth for the construction phase of the Brooker Highway project.
(b)
That a ballot be conducted at the next Council meeting to elect two Aldermen
onto this committee.

The Claremont RSL Club wishes to enter into a licence agreement with
Glenorchy City Council for an ANZAC Memorial within the Windermere Bay
Reserve.
2.
This report seeks Council approval to advertise its intent under section 178 of
the Local Government Act 1993 (Tas) to licence the land at Windermere Bay
Reserve to the Claremont RSL Club.
Proposal in Detail:
At its meeting on 29th September 2014, Council approved a recommendation to
advertise its intent to license the portion of Windermere Bay Reserve for the
provision of an ANZAC memorial in accordance with Section 178 of the Local
Government Act 1993 (Tas).
Under section 178(4) the disposal of this land was advertised on 2 separate
occasions, namely Saturday 11th October 2014 and Wednesday 15th October 2014,
in a daily newspaper circulating in the municipal area which notified the public that
any objection to the proposed licence was to be made to the General Manager
within twenty one (21) days of the date of the first publication (Attachment 1).
No objections were received.
28
Under section 178 (5) if the General Manager does not receive any objection within
21 days of the date of the first publication and an appeal is not made under section
178A, then Council may licence the land.
Funding for the Memorial has been gained by the Claremont RSL Club from two
sources: Federal Government = $32,000.00
 State Government = $40,000.00
It is proposed to issue the Claremont RSL Club with a 20 year licence to use the
ground upon which the Memorial is sited, as shown by Annexure 2, subject to
negotiation between Council staff and the Claremont RSL Club of satisfactory terms
and conditions upon which the licence will be granted.
It is further proposed that:
a)
That the licence fee be $100 per annum (only payable on request).
b)
That the memorial to be owned and maintained by the Claremont RSL Club.
c)
Public liability and facility insurances will be the responsibility of the Claremont
RSL Club.
Consultations:
Council officers completed the following internal consultation: Statutory Planner – Development Approval issued.
 Building Department – Building Approval issued.
 Council Lawyer
It is not expected that staff involvement will extend past the negotiating of the
licence for the site. Public liability and facility insurances will be the responsibility of
the licensee and will be conditioned in the licence for the use of the site.
It is proposed that the licence for the site will be $100 per annum (to be paid only on
request).
Council’s Manager for Community Inclusion (Sue Bis Winkel) implemented the
community engagement plan, where 99 letters were sent to surrounding property
owners.

4.3.3.01 Identify and formalise external council relationships to partner and, where
feasible, share resources.
Reporting Brief:
To brief Council on the proposed Common Services Joint Venture and to approve
and authorise the General Manager to sign the JV Agreement.
Proposal in Detail:
Background
For some years, a number of southern Tasmanian Councils have been providing and
receiving common/professional services, on a commercial basis. The exchange of
common services has ensured that these Councils have maintained the ability to
meet ever increasing legislative requirements and enabled them to continue to
provide essential services to communities.
Brighton Council took the initiative in 2007 in providing services (largely land use
planning) to other councils. Since that time the number of services and councils
involved has increased.
31
Glenorchy City Council became involved a couple of years ago when there were
discussions with a potential (at the time) tenderer for the State Government
southern state roads maintenance contract. The Glenorchy GM has attended
meetings of the group since then and had been in involved in the development of
opportunities. We are currently looking at providing a planning professional to
relieve a planner at another Council. We continue to look for opportunities and
options as stated in our Interim Strategic Plan above - 4.3.3 Partner with other
councils and regional organisations to achieve community outcomes.
Councils are now looking to develop what to date have been ad hoc arrangements
into a formal framework. This process commenced with a workshop of council staff
from four councils in 2013, but was delayed by the local government elections.
Subsequently, a number of discussions and workshops have been conducted and it is
proposed to develop the current arrangements further through a managed joint
venture of Councils. This will see functions undertaken by different Councils and
administered by a Common Services Model. It will operate initially as a group of
Councils with no central administration, but with limited organisational
management, where functions are undertaken by different Councils and
administered by individual Councils.
A draft Business Plan as well as a draft Implementation Strategy have been
developed and will be finalised once the JV is established.
The overriding objective is to formalise and develop the Common Services Model to
provide maximum cost efficiencies, high quality service and long term sustainability
for participating Councils.
It will provide participants with the ability and resources to enable quality equitable
service provision to their residents and visitors, as well as generate economic
efficiencies and increased viability to Common Service Model participants and the
Region. It will also enable participants to meet legislative requirements, increase
consistency of processes between municipalities and develop the reputation and
professionalisation of the Common Services Model by capitalising on opportunities
to build strong professional relationships and expand networks that will ensure the
continual development and success of the ‘Model’
Under this model representatives of participating Councils will meet to identify
workload and assign tasks from within their Councils and participating Councils
would agree rates, etc. and draw up agreements.
A Joint Venture Agreement has been drafted with the core group of participating
Councils expected to formally sign and commit to the agreement in February 2015.
A business plan, management structure, marketing and strategic communication
strategies are also being developed.
32
Joint Venture Management
The Common Services Joint Venture Model is unique. It will be administered by a
committee comprising a representative of each participating Council, a Chairman,
Manager and Chief Administrator. The committee will report regularly to the
Mayors of participating Councils. It will not employ any staff directly, but the
Manager and Chief Administrator will charge Councils for the time spent on
administering particular services and operations. Hourly rates for services will be
determined based on the seniority of the employee delivering the service.
Savings for Councils is a key. Therefore, the pricing strategy must deliver similar cost
savings to both Councils providing services and Councils receiving services.
The Common Services Model gives small, under-resourced councils the ability to
provide a high level of professional services to their ratepayers at an affordable cost.
Councils who are unable to attract professional staff or hire suitable employees on a
full-time or permanent basis have the opportunity to limit their exposure to financial
risk while delivering a high level of service to the community. The benefit for
Glenorchy is to improve utilisation of current staff and to share staff if there is not a
requirement for a full time position at Glenorchy.
Councils do not lose their autonomy, but rather will have access to the all the skills
and experience within all the Councils under agreed joint venture arrangements,
enabling them to better use their autonomy. Councils only pay for the services they
use and their ability to sustainably provide services for ratepayers will be enhanced.
Any participating Council can be a provider as well as user of services.
Examples of Common Services
 Animal Control
 Asset Management
 Building Permit Authority
 Corporate Finance / Management
 Development Engineering
 Environmental Health
 Governance
 Information Technology
 Operational Works Planning
 Pay Services
 Planning
 Plumbing Permit Authority
 Rates
 Records Management
 Technical Design and Investigation
33
In the past financial year, some 4500 hours of common services were provided and
exchanged between Councils. This resulted in cost savings of approximately
$660,000. With the formalisation of the Common Services Model and the
commitment of Councils to the Joint Venture, an increase in amount of common
services hours is expected, along with significant additional savings. It is projected
that 6000 hours of common services hours could be completed this calendar year,
leading to increased savings in the order of $800,000 - $880,000.
In his letter to Mayors of 26 November 2014 advising of the February 11 2015
meeting, the Minister for Local Government Peter Gutwein stated that any local
government reform must:




Be in the interest of ratepayers;
Improve the level of services for the communities;
Preserve and maintain local representation; and
Ensure that the financial status of the entities is strengthened.
A draft JV Agreement is provided as attachment 1 – there are still a couple of clauses
that we will amend before signing.
Consultations:
General Managers from Glamorgan Spring Bay, Sorell, Tasman, Southern Midlands,
Brighton and Glenorchy Councils have held a number of meetings and workshops.
Potential other Councils include: Central Highlands, Derwent Valley, Huon Valley and
Flinders Island.
It is anticipated that the level of services shared by councils will increase; resulting in
more revenue and cost savings.
A number of the participating Councils have already met to discuss and formally
adopt the proposed JV and agreement. The have also been media releases.
Recommendation:
That Council authorise the General Manager to sign the Common Services
Agreement following finalisation by Council’s Lawyer and engage in the new joint
venture as outlined above and in the agreement.

Telstra Corporation Limited wishes to enter into a lease agreement with GCC
for Poimena Reserve in Austin’s Ferry, Tasmania.
2.
This report seeks Council’s final approval under section 178 of the Local
Government Act 1993 (Tas) for the lease of land at Poimena Reserve for the
installation of a telecommunications tower and base station.
Proposal in Detail:
At its meeting of 29th September 2014, the Council approved its intent to advertise
for a lease in accordance with section 178 of the Local Government Act 1993 (Tas)
for a 10.4 meter and 6.2 meter portion of land at Poimena Reserve to Telstra
Corporation Limited (“Telstra”) for a telecommunications tower and base station to
be constructed. A copy of the report from the Council meeting of 29 September 2014
is attached for reference (Attachment 1).
The development application for the proposed amended construction of a
Telecommunications Tower (originally applied for and approved by Optus) was
approved by the Glenorchy Planning Authority on 27 January 2015.
Under section 178(4) the disposal of this land was advertised on 3 separate
occasions, namely Saturday 19 November 2014, Wednesday 26 November 2014 and
Saturday 29 November 2014 in a daily newspaper circulating in the municipal area
which notified the public that any objection to the proposed sale was to be made to
the General Manager within twenty one (21) days of the date of the first publication
(Attachment 2).
35
Three (3) objections were received as a result of the advertising process under
section 178(4).
In summary, the objections relate to the construction of the telecommunications
tower on the basis of the following concerns:
(1) Disruption to a key community and tourist natural retreat and picnic
location;
(2) Disruption to wildlife and in particular, native and threatened species;
(3) Inconsistent with the stated intended use of the area (signage);
(4) Potential radiation side effects;
(5) Potential removal of trees in the area, which will further contribute to the
loss of wildlife, native and threatened species;
(6) Protection of the natural beauty of the area.
A copy of the objections received is attached. (Attachment 4).
Council staff have considered these objections in detail and in accordance with the
approval given by the Glenorchy Planning Authority, it is recommended that the
Council approve the lease of the portion of land as shown by Attachment 3 in
accordance with section 178 to Telstra for the construction of a telecommunications
tower and base station subject to negotiation of satisfactory terms and conditions by
Council staff.
Under section 178(6) Council must consider any objection lodged and by notice in
writing within seven (7) days of a decision by the Council, advise any person who
lodged an objection to the decision and their right to appeal that decision under
section 178A.
To appeal a decision of Council under section 178A an applicant would have to
establish that the decision of Council is not in the public interest and show that the
decision:
(a) May cause undue hardship due to the loss of access to, and the use of,
the public land; or
(b) There is no similar facility available to the users of that facility.

It is not expected that staff involvement will extend past the negotiating of the lease
for the site. Public liability and facility insurances will be the responsibility of the
lessee and will be conditioned in the lease for the use of the site.
The construction and maintenance within the site will be clarified within the lease to
reflect minimal ongoing financial commitment from Council.
The land will remain in Council ownership.

community engagement plan, where 99 letters were sent to surrounding property
owners.
Council Manager of Property in consultation with Telstra agreed that further public
consultation outside of the Planning Approvals process was not required.

Reasoning
As Council is aware, during the life of the previous Council and now into the
beginning of the current Council, a long-term strategy has been widely discussed by
Aldermen and committed to. This has been done in order to maintain and enhance
the immediate and continued sustainability of this Council and the community in
general. As Council would also be aware, at the direction of elected members, the
general manager has been instructed to reach a “breakeven point” by the financial
year 2015/16. It is vital that this Council continues to work towards its long-term
sustainability in order to benefit the cities current and future citizenship.
The Glenorchy City Council has a long and proud record of innovative thinking and
service delivery that supports the people whom live, work and participates in our
city. In order for this to happen it takes a person of high quality, commitment,
passion skills and integrity! I ask my fellow elected members to support this motion
for it is my belief that we are indeed fortunate to have such a person in our current
general manager, Mr Peter Brooks. In challenging and sometimes difficult situations
he continues to show his professionalism and loyalty to the city of Glenorchy and
positive direction that is planned. I recommend Council continues to endorse his
implementation of our current long-term financial strategy and that we express our
full confidence in him.
As an Alderman with 14 years’ experience on Council it has been my privilege and
honour to work with an extremely skilled, professional and dedicated group of
management and staff, both past and present. In challenging times they have
worked as a team and of the direction of the general manager to ensure that this
Council works towards its long-term financial sustainability, whilst at the same time
maintaining and delivering a high quality of service to the Glenorchy community. I
ask my fellow aldermen to join with me in showing our sincere thanks and
appreciation for their continuing efforts.
