3.2.1
Responses to questions raised at prior meetings Meeting held 18 January 2016 Reproduced below is the response dated 21 January 2016 to Mr Trevor Smith’s question: “I write in response to your questions, raised at the Council Meeting held on 18 January 2016. Question 1: “Now that City First has withdrawn from its bid to run the LIVING CITY Conference Centre, has the Council organised to have a new operator to take up the lease?? With construction set to start soon, will the Ratepayers of Devonport be left with a white elephant??? I have not seen any expression of interest in the local media for the conference facility!!!” Answer: City First was selected as Council’s preferred convention centre operator in May 2015 and discussions commenced with a view to exploring an operational model which was in the best interests of both parties. As outlined in the Council report at the 21 December 2015 meeting, following the decision to end the commercial negotiations with City First, Council will operate the LIVING CITY Convention Centre during the initial operational phase utilising its existing Devonport Entertainment and Convention Centre resources. A media release was issued by Council on 15 December 2015 and subsequently, a story was published in The Advocate on 16 December 2015 (copies of both are attached for your information). Question 2: “In regards to question 3, at last month’s Council meeting, I asked for you to print the dates of Council meetings for the next 12 months, on the rates notice. The answer that I received does not answer my question!!! This requirement would notify all ratepayers in advance when meetings will be held!!! Not every ratepayer is on social media and has a computer, and the council knows this fact too well!!! Are you too afraid that the ratepayers of Devonport will have notice of Council meetings, and this is the reason why you have decided to only advertise once a year in the media!!! I also noticed that you put the annual meeting notice in Wednesday’s paper, when most readers don’t buy the paper instead of a Saturday!!!” Answer: Council has been advertising its meeting dates in the Wednesday edition of The Advocate since 2013. We are informed by The Advocate that Wednesday’s edition has a readership of 54,000 people and Saturday’s edition 57,000 people. Considering this is spread across the region, we do not believe it is detrimental to advertise the notice in Wednesday’s edition. Regarding your request for meeting dates to be printed on rates notices, I advise that a report will be prepared for the next Governance and Finance Committee meeting (15 March 2016) to allow Council to determine its position in relation to your request. Question 3: “Could you please tell me when I’m going to get my copy of the Devonport Parking Strategy 2015, as I asked for a copy back in October 2015??? Is this going to be the norm, as far as giving information to the
PAGE 5 Council meeting Agenda 22 February 2016
ratepayers of Devonport??? I’m sure you would be much more prompt, with the developers of the LIVING CITY PROJECT.” Answer: As advised in my letter to you of 22 December 2015, the key dates for the Parking Strategy were reviewed and it was determined that insufficient time had been allowed for the draft strategy to be presented to Council. The new time frame is as follows:
Parking survey closes:
9 October 2015
Draft Parking Strategy presented to Council:
18 January 2016
Draft Parking Strategy on public exhibition:
20 January 2016
Draft Public Strategic public exhibition period closes:
11 February 2016
As Council considered the document at its meeting on 18 January 2016, I now attach a copy of the DRAFT Parking Strategy for your information. Any comments on the Strategy can be provided up to 11 February 2016. We would welcome your feedback prior to this date to enable it to be considered when the Council formally considers the Strategy at its meeting on 22 February 2016.”
RECOMMENDATION That Council note the responses to questions from the January Council meeting.

NOTICES OF MOTION
3.4.1 EAST DEVONPORT CORRIDOR - NOTICE OF MOTION - ALD J F MATTHEWS File: 11990 D405091
In accordance with Regulation 16(5) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, a notice of motion has been received from Alderman J F Matthews.
ATTACHMENTS Nil Note: Ald Matthews at the Council Meeting on 21 December 2015 moved a motion relating to this issue. As a result a procedural motion was passed which referred the item to a Workshop. Subsequently Ald Matthews has determined to move an alternative motion in relation to this issue rather than seek to pursue his original motion.
MOTION
“That Council as part of the Infrastructure Tasmania audit of road ownership raise the possibility of the road leading to an from the Spirit of Tasmania at East Devonport from the Bass Highway be transferred to State responsibility noting that it is likely that such action may result in another road currently the responsibility of the State Government transferring to Council..” SUPPORT Melbourne / Devonport with the Spirit of Tasmania Ferry Service, should be considered the vehicular National Highway link between Mainland Australia and The State of Tasmania in comparison to the N.S.W. / Victoria link at Albury/Wodonga. It should be considered that the Federal/State Governments are responsible for the standard, upkeep and maintenance of this area of the City of Devonport, as the Vehicular/Tourist Front Door and Gateway to Tasmania from Mainland of Australia. The under grounding of the overhead power lines in Tarleton Street in East Devonport, the route used by the majority of visitors to Tasmania when they arrive on the Spirit of Tasmania, is in my view a priority that needs to be addressed by the Tasmanian State Government. Tarleton Street is essentially the "Front Door" to Tasmania from Mainland Australia and is in desperate need of a facelift. A major impediment to any transformation is the unsightliness of the overhead power lines in Tarleton Street. Although Tarleton Street is classified as a local government road it should be recognised by the State/Federal Governments as an extension of the State/Federal Highways due to its prime link between the Spirit of Tasmania Ferry Terminal and the National Bass Highway
OFFICER’S COMMENTS It is understood that Infrastructure Tasmania are intending to undertake an audit of road ownership across the State. This audit will include investigating sections of road which should logically be in different ownership than present arrangements. The audit could potentially provide an opportunity to explore the issues raised in this motion. ITEM 3.4.1

SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to enable Council acting as a Planning Authority to determine whether to certify planning scheme amendment AM2016.03 and grant a planning permit for subdivision of land, PA2016.0013, in regard to an application made under Section 40T of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 (the Act).
BACKGROUND Planning Instrument: Applicant: Owner: Proposal: Existing Use: Zoning: Decision Due:
Devonport Interim Planning Scheme 2013 (the Scheme) 6ty˚ The Crown Rezoning part of the Community purpose zone to General residential to allow a residential subdivision to develop Educational and occasional care(Devonport TAFE) Community Purpose 22 February 2016
SITE DESCRIPTION The subject site is located on a relatively large parcel of land (11.91ha) in Valley Road. The site was originally developed as the Devonport Technical College in 1969 and since then has been subject to numerous additions and alterations. Figure 1 is the most recent depiction of the site and nothing substantial has occurred since that photograph was taken to warrant further comment on the site conditions. The part of the site subject to a zone change to allow development of a subdivision is outlined in red below.
ITEM 4.1
PAGE 9 Report to Council meeting on 22 February 2016
Figure 1 – Photo source, DCC Archive, January 2013 (Looking northeast over site)
The building to the north east in the background is the Australian Weaving Mill site in Tasman Street. The TAFE is the other large grouping of buildings fronting onto Valley Road. The outlined portion intended for the subdivision is approximately 3.035ha in area leaving a balance of approximately 8.9ha for the existing TAFE activities.
COMMENTARY In general terms the development of land for residential subdivision is prohibited in the Community purpose zone and as a consequence the application submitted has utilised the provisions of Section 40T of the Act to combine the rezoning and subdivision development into one dealing. Figure 2 provides detail of the proposed amendment as submitted by the applicant. A comprehensive submission has been prepared by the applicant on behalf of Housing Tasmania and the Department of Health and Human Services. The Executive Summary indicates that the vacant land is deemed surplus to the requirements of the Devonport TasTAFE Campus and is identified as suitable for development as part of Tasmania’s Affordable Housing Strategy 2015-2025. (This was approved by State Cabinet in September last year. The applicant has provided further detail of this in Appendix D of their submission) It is also indicated that the former student accommodation on the site will be converted to a youth accommodation facility. This existing building is situated on lot 2 of the proposed subdivision. This adaptive re-use does not form part of this application and is submitted for information purposes only. The other large parcel, lot 24, will be developed as a disability group home with the remaining 21 lots sold for residential development either on the open market or through the Tasmanian Government’s HomeShare scheme. These remaining lots range in size from 600m2 to 1350m2.

Figure 2 – Proposed zone (The area coloured red is currently Community purpose zone)
LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS Section 34(2) of the Land Use and Planning Approvals Act 1993 specifies the Local Provisions Schedule (LPS) criteria that are to be met. These are to ensure that the planning instrument: 1.
contains all the provisions that the State Planning Provisions specify must be contained in an LPS; and
2.
is in accordance with section 32; and
3.
furthers the objectives set out in Schedule 1; and
4.
is consistent with each State Policy; and
5.
is consistent with the regional land use strategy, if any, for the regional area in which is situated the land to which the relevant planning instrument relates; and
6.
is consistent with the strategic plan, prepared under section 66 of the Local Government Act 1993, that applies in relation to the land to which the relevant planning instrument relates; and
7.
as far as practicable, is consistent with and co-ordinated with any LPS’s that apply to municipal areas that are adjacent to the municipal area to which the relevant planning instrument relates; and
8.
has regard to the safety requirements set out in the standards prescribed under the Gas Pipelines Act 2000. ITEM 4.1
PAGE 11 Report to Council meeting on 22 February 2016
In regard to the objectives the following is reproduced from Schedule 1. Part 1 – The objectives of the resource management and planning system of Tasmania are: (a)
to promote the sustainable development of natural and physical resources and maintenance of ecological processes and genetic diversity; and
(b)
to provide for the fair, orderly and sustainable use and development of air, land and water; and
(c)
to encourage public involvement in resource management and planning; and
(d)
to facilitate economic development in accordance with the objectives set out in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c); and
(e)
to promote the sharing of responsibility for resource management and planning between the different spheres of Government, the community and industry in the State.
Part 2 – Objectives of the planning process established by this Act are: (a)
to require sound strategic planning and co-ordinated action by State and Local government; and
(b)
to establish a system of planning instruments to be the principal way of setting objectives, policies and controls for the use, development and protection of land; and
(c)
to ensure that the effects on the environment are considered and provide for explicit consideration of social and economic effects when decisions are made about the use and development of land; and
(d)
to require land use and development planning and policy to be easily integrated with environmental, social, economic, conservation and resource management policies at State, regional and municipal levels; and
(e)
to provide for the consolidation of approvals for land use or development and related matters, and to co-ordinate planning approvals with related approvals; and
(f)
to promote the health and wellbeing of all Tasmanians and visitors to Tasmania by ensuring a pleasant, efficient and safe environment for working, living and recreation; and
(g)
secure a pleasant, efficient and safe working, living and recreational environment for all Tasmanians and visitors to Tasmania;
(h)
to conserve those buildings, areas or other places which are of scientific, aesthetic, architectural or historical interest or otherwise of special cultural value; and
(i)
to protect public infrastructure and other assets and enable the orderly provision and co-ordination of public utilities and other facilities for the benefit of the community; and
(j)
to provide a planning framework which fully considers land capability.
ITEM 4.1
PAGE 12 Report to Council meeting on 22 February 2016
The State Policies are the State Policy for the Protection of Agricultural Land 2009, State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997, State Coastal Policy 1996 and the National Environmental Protection Measures. The applicant has provided commentary on each of these statutory requirements within the body of their submission. These comments have been examined and it is submitted that they be accepted in their entirety. The entire submission is attached as Attachment 1.
PLANNING PERMIT CONSIDERATIONS In its determination of a permit application under section 40T of the Act, the Planning Authority must also seek to further the objectives set out in Schedule 1 of the Act and also must consider the relevant zone and code standards of the planning scheme as they apply to the development. This component of the application deals with the subdivision of the land into residential allotments. This requires assessment against the standards of the General residential zone and any applicable codes in the Scheme. For the purposes of clarity the permit for subdivision forming part of this combined process only takes effect on the date the Planning Commission grants approval for the rezoning. On a pre-application level the applicant and Council planners collaborated on several occasions to ensure that the subdivision proposal satisfied the various zone and code standards. The applicant’s submission provides appropriate commentary in the instance when the Acceptable Solutions of a standard cannot be met and reliance upon the Performance Criteria has to be satisfied. Appendix 1 also includes the total commentary against the Scheme standards. A Traffic Impact Assessment has also been provided and in summary it is concluded that the development of the new subdivision off Greenway Avenue will not reduce amenity or safety at the new intersection or within Greenway Avenue itself. One further aspect for Council to consider is whether the subdivider should provide land for public open space or cash in lieu as a contribution to the public recreation space fund equivalent to 5% of the unimproved value of the land. Another variation that is worthwhile to consider is requiring the tangible cash value being expended on streetscape and civil works treatments that may be beyond the conventional minimum standard. This may include mature street tree plantings, varying kerb alignment and alternative pavement design. These features and incentive may also be attractive from the developer’s viewpoint in the creation of a more desirable residential precinct. This option should not be discounted if it can be demonstrated that the additional works are equivalent to 5% of the unimproved value. Subject to confirmation this added value could be a conservative $10-20000. Figure 3 below is the subdivision plan reproduced from the application. Although not a primary matter for the application at hand the Council will at some time need to consider an appropriate street name for the building estate.
ITEM 4.1
PAGE 13 Report to Council meeting on 22 February 2016
Figure 3 – Subdivision plan
The current policy resolved by Council (227/12) is for future street names to be derived from the 2006 list of names from Devonport’s early history. Alternately street names endorsing the Nomenclature Boards guidelines and based on more recent events can be considered.
ITEM 4.1
PAGE 14 Report to Council meeting on 22 February 2016
The developer will receive a copy of the available names from the historic list to enable at least a name to be adopted for future correspondence and as a permanent record on the Final Plan of Survey.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT If Council decides to certify the amendment and consent to the development the details of the zoning amendment, draft permit conditions, the application and the decision of the Planning Authority are to be exhibited for 28 days. Following this public scrutiny period a report will be prepared for Council discussing the merits of any representations received during this time. This report and any endorsed recommendations are then forwarded to the Tasmanian Planning Commission (TPC). In normal circumstances the TPC would conduct a Hearing and invite persons who made a representation to attend to assist the TPC in determining the application.
CONCLUSION The application has undergone assessment against the various legislative requirements and has satisfied these to the extent that the combined permit and amendment is recommended to advance to the next stage of the process. At this stage of the process the formal response from TasWater has not been received however in anticipation their standard condition has been incorporated in the final recommendation. The applicant has undertaken pre application discussions with them to assist in their timely response.
ATTACHMENTS 1.
Submission - PA2016.0013 - 20-36 Valley Road Devonport
RECOMMENDATION That Council:
agree to certify AM2016.03 to rezone land from Community purpose to General residential;
under section 40Y of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 approve planning permit application PA2014.0013 for a 24 lot subdivision subject to the following conditions: 1.
Unless altered by subsequent conditions of this permit the subdivision is to be generally configured in accordance with the submitted plan referenced as Project 15.322, Drawing P02 by 6ty˚.
2.
The developer is to comply with the conditions contained in the Submission to Planning Authority Notice which TasWater has required to be included in the planning permit, pursuant to section 56P(1) of the Water and Sewerage Industry Act 2008.

providing each residential lot of the subdivision with a 150mm stormwater property connection at the lowest point of the lot; ITEM 4.1
PAGE 15 Report to Council meeting on 22 February 2016
(b)
providing each residential lot with an appropriately located vehicular access;
(c)
providing all signage and road safety devices required as part of the subdivision designed in accordance with current Australian and municipal standards;
(d)
providing hydraulic plans detailing the proposed layout of stormwater services to collect roadwater and piped reticulation from each residential lot;
(e)
providing detailed civil construction drawings prepared by a suitably qualified engineer and forwarded to Council’s Infrastructure and Works Department for approval prior to any works commencing;
(f)
providing detailed landscaping plans that specify any proposed plantings or other treatments to be used to satisfy condition 7 of this permit;
(g)
providing street lighting to the residential lots in accordance with the requirements of Aurora Energy.
(h)
providing underground electricity reticulation and site connections to each residential lot.

The subdivider is to take all reasonable steps during civil construction works to minimise off site environmental effects occurring that might result in a nuisance. This includes air and noise pollution and doesn’t allow for burning of any waste materials.
5.
The subdivider is not to include any covenants within the Schedule of Easements that by their intended purpose are inconsistent with the relevant zone and code standards of the Devonport Interim Planning Scheme 2013.
6.
The subdivider is to implement and maintain pollution control measures during the course of the subdivision/development to minimise downstream off site effects occurring, particularly with respect to watercourses and stormwater outlets. This is to address the following: (a)
Retaining any topsoil removed during civil works to cover the area disturbed to a depth of at least 100mm.
(b)
Sowing down all disturbed areas an appropriate grass mix as soon as is practicable after works in that area is completed.
(c)
Stabilising stockpiles of topsoil and overburden during construction. This stabilisation may include vegetative seeding, mulches, plastic mesh, netting or another appropriate method.
(d)
Implementing appropriate dust control measures during civil works to ensure that dust is not permitted to cross any point of the property boundary so as to become a proven environmental nuisance to the occupiers of properties nearby.
(e)
Disposing of any solid and liquid waste at an appropriate refuse site.
(f)
Utilising stormwater control devices during installation of the necessary infrastructure to prevent the deposition of sediment from the site into the Figure of Eight Creek catchment.

2016 PARKING STRATEGY - COMMUNITY FEEDBACK File: 24198 D404654
RELEVANCE TO COUNCIL’S PLANS & POLICIES Council’s Strategic Plan 2009-2030: Strategy 2.3.1
Provide and maintain roads, bridges, footpaths, bike paths and car parks to appropriate standards
SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to detail the feedback from the public exhibition period regarding the draft Parking Strategy and adopt the final strategy document.
BACKGROUND At the January 2016 Council Meeting it was resolved to (Min 10/16 refers): 1.
Place the draft Strategy on public exhibition until close of business Thursday 11 February 2016 with a final report to be presented to Council for formal consideration and adoption at the February 2016 meeting; and
2.
Note the comments and data relating to the community consultation undertaken in September 2015.
Council’s Parking Strategy was first adopted by Council in December 2010 following an extensive and collaborative process. The Strategy defines Council’s role as a legislator, provider, facilitator and regulator of car parking facilities, from initial planning stages through to enforcement. Section 3.14 of the December 2010 Parking Strategy Action Plan states “The Action Plan will require review upon completion of the five year timeframe, and a subsequent Action Plan should be developed based upon the residual actions from the December 2010 plan.” Accordingly, the Parking Strategy has been reviewed and a parking survey conducted to gauge community thoughts.
STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Council operates in accordance with a Car Parking By-law made under section 145 of the Local Government Act 1993 for the purpose of regulating and controlling the use of car parks belonging to and/or controlled by Council.
DISCUSSION Three responses were received during the public exhibition period, namely:
Parking way too expensive, and very hard to find cheap all day parking for workers in town without congesting residential streets. Parking in town should be free like Ulverstone is, that would bring more people into town to shop, instead of sending them elsewhere, and Ulverstone is always busy unlike some days in Devonport where it’s a ghost town in the mall.
ITEM 5.1
PAGE 205 Report to Council meeting on 22 February 2016
All car parking should be pay as you leave. What would be ideal would be to have certain areas free parking for a time of 15 minutes to cover people that have to call into 1 business only, eg banks, newsagents. If these spots were monitored more often, to cut out the people that abuse the system to go shopping or sip cups of coffee, while other people search for a spot to do general business
As regards "on street" parking, I continue to be amazed at the stupidity of the move to a metering system where just one meter serves a collection of car park spaces. The problem with this system is that a parking driver has no visual guide as to where they are positioned as they park. The result is that one vehicle gets it wrong and ends up out of position which leads every other driver to also be parked out of position. Short of getting out of the vehicle to check, there would appear to be no way of knowing where your vehicle is in relation to the lines delineating the parking space. I note that the Council proposed parking strategy report states that "cash remains the preferred payment method for parking". However the report goes on to express a policy which intends to "review and utilise new technology"! It proposes possible ways of changing people's preferred option by introducing "pay by phone technology" and increased "credit card payment options". If rate payers prefer to pay using cash then don't try forcing them to pay another way. Not all rate payers wish to carry a mobile phone! Opposite the Oldies Club, "60's and over", Senior Citizens", or whatever the latest name is, there is a three hour parking area. This is a nice distance for an older person to walk into town and do what they have to do. Some two years or so ago Council, for some unknown reason, in addition to taking away two car parks (the grass which replaced these does look quite nice), took away some four meters from the front of the parking spaces. This space does not seem to be being used for any worthwhile purpose and it's loss to parking increases the difficulty of moving into or out of parking spaces, particularly if a longer vehicle is parked on either side. Perhaps a couple of meters of this currently not being used space could be returned to the it's parking function.
Whilst the comments above have been noted, changes to the Strategy in regards to the feedback received have not been made. The first comment relates to pricing, to which Objective 1 in the Parking Strategy is improve demand management in CBD car parks which includes a review of prices of parking. The second comment relates to both Pay As You Leave (PAYL) infrastructure and time restrictions on metered spaces, and associated regulation of these spaces. The Strategy lists an action to identify other PAYL sites within Objective 2 - Maximise use of existing Pay As You Leave car park facility. There is also an action relating to short stay parking. Comment three covers a board range of subjects:
Parking meter technology
Payment options
Parking spaces opposite the Senior Citizens
There are a number of reasons why one parking machine may service a number of parking spaces and there are certainly reductions in Council’s infrastructure and ITEM 5.1
PAGE 206 Report to Council meeting on 22 February 2016
maintenance as a result. Line marking of spaces completed in accordance with relevant Australian Standards. In relation to payment options and the use of cash, the community feedback in relation to their preference of cash for paying for parking would be considered as part of any review of technology. The final point relating to parking spaces opposite the Senior Citizens is not related to the strategy, being an operational concern, and will be passed to relevant Council Officers to investigate.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT The draft parking strategy was made available for public exhibition on Speak-Up Devonport from 19 January 2016 until close of business 11 February 2016. The promotion of the exhibition included via Council’s website, social media and several media releases. In preparation of the draft strategy, consultation included a parking survey which received 114 responses.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The new strategy includes a number of items requiring either capital or operational expenditure. These will be considered and prioritised as part of the annual budget process.
RISK IMPLICATIONS Parking is an emotive topic, and many residents have strong views. The use of a public survey and public exhibition period provides an opportunity for community involvement. Constructive comments received via the survey will be used as part of the reviews and analysis to be undertaken in accordance with the strategy recommendations. The strategic nature of the document may confuse or frustrate those who wish to see immediate operational changes to the management and control tasks currently undertaken in relation to parking. The action plan details tasks that will be undertaken and reported to Council to review existing practices.
CONCLUSION The Parking Strategy has been drafted with multiple opportunities for community members to provide input and ideas. Consideration has been given to these comments in preparation of the document and it is now recommended to adopt and finalise the Parking Strategy.

CAT MANAGEMENT AT THE MERSEY BLUFF File: 23254 D405096
RELEVANCE TO COUNCIL’S PLANS & POLICIES Council’s Strategic Plan 2009-2030: Strategy 1.2.1
Support the conservation and maintenance of biodiversity corridors including coastal landscapes and preserve areas of remnant vegetation
SUMMARY The purpose of the report is to provide Council with information about an existing cat management program being carried at the Mersey Bluff so it can determine whether it will continue to provide funding to the volunteers who are delivering that program.
BACKGROUND On 18 May 2009 Council resolved (attached resolution 170/09 refers) to fund a volunteer cat management program (the program) at the Mersey Bluff in the amount of $6,000 per annum and to undertake a further review of the program every two years. The report which was presented to that Council meeting disclosed that the program had previously been funded out of Council’s Community Small Grants Scheme in the amount of $5,000 but that due to rising costs for cat food, veterinary treatments and fuel the volunteers administering the program were at that time facing a financial shortfall of several thousand dollars. Although there has been no further formal review of the 2009 decision Council funding has continued. Despite the resolution that payments be capped at $6,000 per annum Council records indicate that payments to the volunteers to cover the costs associated with the administration of the program exceeded that figure by approximately $3000 in 2013 and 2014 and by approximately $1000 in 2015. These overpayments are at least partly due to the lack of established accounting procedures attached to the program and this must be addressed if Council determines to continue funding it.
STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS This is a voluntary program and is not subject to any specific statutory requirements currently set out in the Cat Management Act 2009.
DISCUSSION To obtain more information about the cat management program conducted at the Mersey Bluff (the Bluff) Mr and Mrs Burtt, local residents who have administered the program over a number of years, were invited to address a Council workshop on 1 February 2016. Mr Burtt informed Council that he and his wife had been involved in the program for the past twelve years during which time he believes the wild cat population at the Bluff has decreased significantly. He pointed out that there is no evidence in recent years of wild cats causing a problem either with the killing of native wildlife or of creating a nuisance for tourists and the public at the Bluff and surrounding foreshores. In particular he pointed to ITEM 5.2
PAGE 234 Report to Council meeting on 22 February 2016
the program’s success in removing wild cats from The Bluff Caravan Park and the various picnic and recreational areas in that precinct. By way of contrast Mr Burtt shared his own experiences at the Ulverstone Beach precinct where he claims the lack of any cat management program has resulted in large numbers of wild cats foraging for food in picnic and BBQ areas from early dusk on a daily basis. The actual management program administered by the Burtts is known as “trap-neuterreturn” or ”TRN” A brief summary of TRN is that a particular area, in this case the Bluff, is targeted and wild cats are trapped, before being neutered and then returned to the same area where they were trapped. Once returned the cats are monitored to ensure they remain healthy and are fed twice a day. Under this model it is claimed these cats form a strong “colony” that will repel any other wild cats attempting to enter the area. Any adult cats or kittens that have been released in the area by members of the public are removed and either neutered and adopted out or humanely euthanised. Mr Burtt explained that in an ideal TNR program a small colony is the most effective cat management model. When he and his wife first became involved in the Bluff program 12 years ago he estimates the colony consisted of over 30 cats scattered around various locations in the Bluff precinct. At present he is feeding a colony of 14 neutered cats consisting of 8 females and 6 males all of who are located at the Mersey Bluff. Mr Burtt provided a Wikipedia summary of the operation of a TNR program and this is in the attachments. Also provided in the attachments is a summary of the Burtt’s involvement in the TNR program and an estimate of the costs required for it to operate without them incurring personal financial loss. The fact that this is a volunteer run program conducted with wild, albeit “controlled” cats makes it virtually impossible to produce empirical data to support claims of its success in reducing cat nuisance at the Bluff and the surrounding foreshores. A search of Council records, however, has confirmed that there have been few if any complaints about wild cats in this precinct in the past five years. To obtain a balanced assessment about the success of TNR programs generally some research of opinions and program outcomes in other jurisdictions was carried out. The program has been introduced with varying success in many parts of the world, notably in the United States. There is no on-line record of a TNR program anywhere else in Tasmania but perhaps the most relevant study was prepared by the NSW Parliamentary Research Service in December 2014 (attached). This study purports to be an overview of scientific evidence on the effectiveness of TNR programs, including field studies, literature reviews and mathematical modelling. In the introduction to this study the statement is made that the evidence “is somewhat mixed and far from conclusive”. The study acknowledges that “feral cat predation” is a threat to native wild life Australia and worldwide. It reports a 4 million dollar investment by the Commonwealth, Victorian and Western Australian governments to develop a “humane, broad-scale toxic bait to control feral cats in conservation areas”. It is acknowledged, however, that such a program is not practical in urban areas where cats and other domestic animals may be at unacceptable risk.
ITEM 5.2
PAGE 235 Report to Council meeting on 22 February 2016
Large scale trapping and shooting programs are dismissed as inordinately difficult and expensive and with only short term benefits if they cannot be maintained on an ongoing basis. The conclusion of this study is produced below. “8. Conclusion A major feature of the Animal Welfare (Population Control Programs) Bill 2014 is that it provides legal certainty for participants in TNR programs. As for the practical effectiveness of TNR programs for feral cats, the evidence is far from conclusive. It suggests high adoption rates, high sterilisation rates, small and stable cat populations and confined locations removed from native wildlife are necessary requirements for successful TNR programs. If that is the case, it begs the question whether feral cat TNR programs should only be sponsored in prescribed circumstances; for example, where they: Operate only in metropolitan Sydney? Manage small stable populations of cats? Sterilise a high proportion of adult cats? Adopt cats to responsible homes? Identify and sterilise any new cats that enter the population? Provide an indication of their likely impact on wildlife? 100 Have the resources to operate over many years? “ If the Sydney-centric nature of this study is put aside the conclusion actually provides strong support for the TNR program being administered by the volunteers at the Bluff. The Bluff program would appear to:
operate in a confined geographical area; manage a small stable colony of “control” cats; identify, sterilise (or where necessary euthanise) new cats entering the area; and where possible see stray cats adopted to homes.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT No community engagement has been undertaken in association with this report. The cat management program has, however, been ongoing for many years and was first supported by Council in response to public complaints about cat nuisances in the Mersey Bluff precinct.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS If Council determines to continue its support of the cat management program the annual cost to the volunteers who administer it over the next few years is anticipated to be in the order of $8,000.
RISK IMPLICATIONS
Environmental Sustainability All of the available studies about feral cat populations stress the potential damage they can cause to the natural environment. Although this TNR program is restricted to the Mersey Bluff the fact that Council has received no notification about harm to local wildlife in the area suggests that it is having a positive effect. To cease funding ITEM 5.2
PAGE 236 Report to Council meeting on 22 February 2016
of the program may result in a negative impact on the environment and attract criticism of Council.
CONCLUSION There is no empirical data to support claims made by the volunteers who administer the Bluff cat management program that it has significantly reduced the number of “stray” cats as well as limiting the threat to native species in the area. On the other hand the lack of complaints about cat nuisances in the Bluff precinct, or any intervention by Commonwealth and State authorities in relation to harm to native species supports the notion that the TNR program is having a positive effect. This is perhaps reinforced by the program volunteers’ own admission during the Council workshop presentation that at Don Head, where there is no cat management program, there are substantial numbers of feral cats. Scientific studies, such as that prepared by the NSW Parliamentary Research Service in December 2014, conclude that there is insufficient evidence at this time to establish any method of cat population control as completely effective. That study also raises the issue, from this Council’s perspective, of the unsustainable cash injections that would be required to either extend a TNR program across the whole of Devonport City or to research alternate control programs. On balance it would seem appropriate to continue to fund the operating costs of the Burtts in delivering the Mersey Bluff TNR program, but with more structured claim and accounting procedures to ensure Council maintains proper governance of the expenditure required.

At the meeting it was determined that a project control group be established to coordinate a regional approach to seek funding for the pathway construction.
STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS 5.1.
Correspondence has been received from the Department of State Growth advising that the State Government has partnered with Telstra Corporation Ltd for a period of four years to deliver free Wi-Fi at over 150 hotspots in 47 locations around Tasmania. The free Wi-Fi network is being rolled out over the next year. The service will allow public free access for up to 30 minutes at each location, each day. Four sites have been selected in Devonport: -
a third party location at the Mersey Bluff;
-
the Spirit of Tasmania Terminal;
-
the Devonport Airport; and
-
the Don River Railway.
A copy of the correspondence from the Department is provided as an attachment. A subsequent update provided by the Department provided the following clarification regarding the Wi-fi program: “the Department of State Growth is currently implementing the Tasmanian Government’s free public Wi-Fi initiative across the state. This email is being sent to all Mayors and General Managers in municipalities where we hope to deploy free public Wi-Fi hotspots. You will all have recently received correspondence from the Department, providing advice on the locations where the Department hopes to deploy hotspots within your municipality. However, I would like to now take the opportunity to stress that all hotspot locations will be subject to technical feasibility assessment, conducted by Telstra. Unfortunately, we have recently been advised that one location, that had been regarded as a confirmed location, has been assessed by Telstra as infeasible for technical reasons. In light of this experience, we are keen to ensure that community expectations are not raised prematurely by promising services that may not be able to be delivered. We would very much appreciate your assistance in managing community expectations until all feasibility assessments have been undertaken”. 5.2.
With the Mayor met with the Chief Executive Officer of Ten Days on the Island. The purpose of the meeting was introductory in nature and an outline of the future direction of Ten Days. It was advised that Saul Eslake has assumed the role of Chairman of Ten Days. The next Ten Days will be held between 17 & 26 March 2017 with some events proposed for Devonport. It was advised that further detail on the events and what may be expected from Council to ensure they occur (ie sponsorship) will be provided to Council in due course.
ITEM 6.2

With the Mayor met with the Deputy Premier, Hon Jeremy Rockliff MP. This meeting was arranged as a “catch-up” with the local member for Braddon.
5.4.
Council has received advice from the LGAT that the draft Model Code of Conduct to be made under the Local Government Amendment (Code of Conduct) Act 2015 has been prepared by the Local Government Division (LGD) in consultation with the LGAT, Integrity Commission and current members of the Standards Panel. The draft model Code of Conduct strictly limits the ability of councils to vary the model code, in accordance with section 28T of the Amendment Act. The draft provides that a council may only vary the model code by the addition of further council policies and procedures relating to the relevant standard, which are to be provided in a schedule to the model code. A copy of the draft model Code of Conduct is attached for information. If there is any issue which needs clarification these can be provided to LGAT by 2 March 2016. Advice has already been provided around the drafting of Clause 28T of the Model Code insofar as it not clear nor does it seem to make sense. Further, LGD intends to develop a recommended 'information sheet' to accompany the model code of conduct, which will be provided to councils. The information sheet is proposed to include:
the purpose and application of the model code of conduct; overarching principles of good governance; relevant legislation; and further assistance (including councillor dispute resolution, making a complaint under the Local Government Act 1993, Public Interest Disclosure and key contacts).
5.5.
The Minister for Planning and Local Government has written to the Mayor regarding the amalgamation/resource sharing modelling initiative. The Minister indicates that whilst he is pleased that the councils in the Northwest are prepared to look at regional resource sharing it is unfortunate that the decision has been made to not consider the widest range of options as is happening in Southern Tasmania. The Minister is encouraging councils to reconsider the possibility of voluntary amalgamation proposals so that the broadest possible range of options can be modelled. A copy of the Minister’s letter is provided as an attachment.
5.6.
With the Mayor met with the Minister for Infrastructure, Hon Rene Hidding MP and the Chief Executive Officer of Infrastructure Tasmania. The purpose of the meeting was to allow the Minister and the CEO to outline the role of Infrastructure Tasmania.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT The information included above details any issues relating to community engagement.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Any financial or budgetary implications related to matters discussed in this report will be separately reported to Council. There is not expected to be any impact on the Councils’ operating budget as a result of this recommendation.

Why not option C - block off traffic at Norton Way from proceeding further north along Wright St. The City Engineer responded that option isn’t shown at the moment as it is felt that would be an unnecessary loss of connectivity, in general terms there is no reason why that should be blocked so therefore that option has not been developed.
