<strong>Waratah</strong>-<strong>Wynyard</strong> <strong>Council</strong> – Ordinary Meeting Agenda – <strong>19</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2009</strong> Page 9
Planning Authority Reports<br />
2. Summary<br />
The application is for the construction of six animal shelters at 1260 Oldina<br />
Road, Oldina.<br />
The site is located within the Primary Industries zone. The application is<br />
discretionary as it relies on assessment against the Performance Criteria in<br />
relation to the setback standards.<br />
3. Background<br />
The subject property is located on Oldina Road within a rural area. Lowries<br />
Road dissects the site through a southern portion of the site. The site has a<br />
total area of 34.9 hectares. The site currently contains a dwelling house,<br />
sheds, the six animal shelters and horses. Adjacent properties are<br />
predominantly larger farms.<br />
4. Statutory Requirements<br />
The application is subject to the following statutory instruments:<br />
Land Use Planning and Approvals Act <strong>19</strong>93<br />
<strong>Waratah</strong> <strong>Wynyard</strong> Planning Scheme 2000<br />
5. Finances<br />
Financial costs may arise in relation to any appeal against the determination of<br />
the application by the Planning Authority.<br />
6. Discussion<br />
Application<br />
The application is for the approval of six equine and livestock weather<br />
shelters. The shelters have already been constructed on site without planning<br />
approval.<br />
Five of the shelters have dimensions of 7 metres by 7 metres and the<br />
remaining shelter is six metres by 12 metres wide. The height of the shelters<br />
is approximately three metres. The sides and facia of the shelters are a cream<br />
colour and the roof is a blue colour.<br />

Planning Authority Reports<br />
Advertising<br />
The application was advertised for a period of 14 days in accordance with the<br />
provisions of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act <strong>19</strong>93. During this<br />
time <strong>Council</strong> received three representations raising concerns with the proposal.<br />
• Darren Scrivener, 1258 Oldina Road, Oldina<br />
Issue Raised:<br />
These shelters are an eyesore and take up too much valuable paddock space.<br />
My main concern is being hit by flying sheets of roof iron in the heavy winds.<br />
Planning Comment<br />
The visual amenity of the area comprises a rural landscape typical of the<br />
northwest. In such rural landscapes sheds and storage structures are a normal<br />
visual element. A structural engineering certificate for the sheds was<br />
submitted with the application, which states the sheds will comply with the<br />
relevant standards when constructed in accordance with the engineering design<br />
documents. The assessment required under the Building Approval stage of the<br />
application will ensure that the structures are constructed in accordance with<br />
the structural engineering certificate.<br />
Wendy Abbott, 1258 Oldina Road, Oldina<br />
Issue Raised:<br />
The shelters in question are already insitu and take up a large area that<br />
detracts from the beauty of the area and surrounding countryside. The colour<br />
of the shelters detracts from the surrounds.<br />
Planning Comment<br />
See above comment.<br />
Linden Keep, 1182 Oldina Road, Oldina<br />
Issue Raised:<br />
The plans show the sheds built 29 metres from my boundary. There has<br />
already been a situation between myself and Maggie Boyd in regards to myself<br />
shooting vermin up to my fence line.<br />
Planning Comment<br />
From the site plan it appears the shelters will be within 29 metres of the<br />
boundary from 1258 Oldina Road and not 1182 Oldina Road. The issue of<br />
shooting vermin is a domestic issue and not a planning one.<br />
<strong>Waratah</strong>-<strong>Wynyard</strong> <strong>Council</strong> – Ordinary Meeting Agenda – <strong>19</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2009</strong> Page 11
Planning Authority Reports<br />
Assessment<br />
The site is zoned Primary Industries under the <strong>Waratah</strong>-<strong>Wynyard</strong> Planning<br />
Scheme 2000. The animal shelters will be used for sheltering horses and other<br />
livestock on site from the weather. The use relates to the primary industries<br />
use on site and therefore the appropriate use classification is the Resource<br />
Development Use class. The Resource Development use class is a primary<br />
use class within the Primary Industries Zone<br />
Standards for development in the Primary Industries zone are provided in Part<br />
9 of the Planning Scheme. As the application relies on assessment against the<br />
Performance Criteria in relation to development standards relating to siting, it<br />
requires discretionary approval under Section 57 of the Land Use Planning<br />
and Approvals Act <strong>19</strong>93 (LUPAA).<br />
The following section provides an assessment against the relevant Planning<br />
Scheme provisions.<br />
9.0 PRIMARY INDUSTRIES ZONE<br />
9.1 Values of the zone<br />
9.1.1 This zone incorporates predominantly primary industry related<br />
use or development of significant tracts of land from the coast<br />
through to the southern extremities of the planning area. It<br />
includes land used for farming, forestry, quarrying or mineral<br />
extraction processing works and a range of non-urban uses<br />
such as roads and rail networks, electricity distribution lines,<br />
water supply utilities and the like on private land, State<br />
Reserves, State Forests and Crown Land.<br />
9.1.2 The values associated with those areas in the zone are specified<br />
in Part 2 of the planning scheme<br />
9.2 Intent of the zone<br />
(a)<br />
(b)<br />
To protect and allow for the sustainable use and development<br />
of the natural and non-natural resources on which agriculture,<br />
aquaculture, forestry and mining depend; and<br />
To allow a range of uses in ways and in locations that do not<br />
affect the viability of use or development associated with the<br />
primary uses of the zone.<br />
<strong>Waratah</strong>-<strong>Wynyard</strong> <strong>Council</strong> – Ordinary Meeting Agenda – <strong>19</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2009</strong> Page 12
Planning Authority Reports<br />
The provision of the animal shelters on site relates to the primary use of the<br />
site being for grazing of horses and other livestock. he proposal should not<br />
affect the use of surrounding land for agricultural activities. Moreover,<br />
visually the shelters shed will appear similar to many agricultural structures in<br />
the vicinity.<br />
The application is assessed as follows against Scheme criteria specific to the<br />
application:<br />
Relevant Standards for use or development in the Primary Industries Zone<br />
9.4.1 Issue 11.0: - Design and Form<br />
Objective: To design and sit rural buildings in a manner that protects rural<br />
amenity and maintains appropriate rural character.<br />
Acceptable Solution<br />
11.1 Building that are not occupied by<br />
sensitive uses and to be setback a<br />
minimum of:-<br />
(a) 30 metres from a road<br />
boundary (unless a greater<br />
setback from Category I, II or<br />
III road is required in<br />
accordance with Table 14.2.1<br />
Issue 5.0:- Setbacks for<br />
Buildings and Structures.);<br />
and<br />
(b) 10 metres from any other<br />
boundary.<br />
11.2 The maximum building height is<br />
7.5 metres.<br />
Performance Criteria<br />
11.1 The required setbacks may be<br />
varied where it can be<br />
demonstrated that:<br />
(a) the location of proposed<br />
building or structures<br />
compliments the setbacks of<br />
existing buildings or<br />
structures in the immediate<br />
area; or<br />
(b) the design and location of<br />
proposed buildings or<br />
structures compliments the<br />
amenity and character of the<br />
locality and is not visually<br />
intrusive; or<br />
(c) the design of the proposed<br />
building or structures<br />
minimises the earth works<br />
associated with construction<br />
and responds appropriately to<br />
the particular size, shape,<br />
contours or slope of the land.<br />
11.2 Building height may be varied<br />
where it is demonstrated that<br />
buildings or structures are<br />
designed and sited in a manner<br />
that does not result in a high level<br />
of contrast with the prevailing<br />
landscape elements. Matters to<br />
be considered include the shape,<br />
<strong>Waratah</strong>-<strong>Wynyard</strong> <strong>Council</strong> – Ordinary Meeting Agenda – <strong>19</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2009</strong> Page 13
Planning Authority Reports<br />
height, bulk, materials and<br />
colours of buildings and<br />
structures, and their appearance<br />
in relation to skylines, and to<br />
existing and proposed vegetation.<br />
The setbacks for five of the proposed shelters comply with the setback<br />
requirements, however one of the shelters is within 23 metres of Oldina Road<br />
and therefore relies on assessment against the Performance Criteria. The<br />
location of the shelter within 30 metres of the boundary to Oldina Road is not<br />
visually obtrusive in the area and will not detrimentally impact the amenity in<br />
the area. The location of the shelter and its low height means that it wont have<br />
any impacts in terms of overshadowing.<br />
All the proposed shelters are less than 7.5 metres in height (only 3 metres) and<br />
comply with the acceptable solution.<br />
The proposal meets the performance criteria.<br />
7. Risk<br />
There is a risk the applicant or representors may appeal the determination of<br />
the Planning Authority to the Resource Management and Planning Appeal<br />
Tribunal.<br />
IN FAVOUR<br />
8. Conclusion<br />
The application involves the construction of six animal shelters on site on a lot<br />
within the Primary Industries Zone. The land is currently utilised for grazing<br />
of horses and other livestock and a residential dwelling. The animal shelters<br />
are related to the primary industries use on site.<br />
The application is seeking a variation to the setback requirements for one of<br />
the animal shelters. The application is considered to not affect the amenity of<br />
the area, or affect the attainment of the zone or planning scheme objectives.<br />

<strong>Council</strong> Reports<br />
2. Summary<br />
This report has been prepared to enable the timing of Ordinary Meetings to be<br />
altered to allow for a pre-meeting meal, and to decide on two alternative<br />
Ordinary Meeting locations in <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
For <strong>Council</strong> to be open and accountable to its community, consistency in the<br />
meeting schedule is suggested as this allows residents to know with some<br />
certainty when <strong>Council</strong> meetings are normally held.<br />
3. Background<br />
For the past year it has been normal practice for <strong>Council</strong> to conduct Ordinary<br />
<strong>Council</strong> meetings on the third Monday of each month commencing at 5:30 pm.<br />
Prior to this meetings were held on the third Monday of each month<br />
commencing at 7:30pm.<br />
4. Statutory Requirements<br />
The Local Government (Meeting Procedure) Regulations 2005 states:<br />
6. Times of meetings<br />
(1) A meeting is not to start before 5 p.m. unless otherwise determined by<br />
the council by absolute majority or by the council committee by simple<br />
majority.<br />
(2) After each ordinary election, a council and a council committee are to<br />
review the times of commencement of meetings.<br />
5. Finances<br />
The conduct of any <strong>Council</strong> meeting has costs associated with it, additionally<br />
there will be a cost associated with catering. It is envisioned that meals will be<br />
served at the <strong>Council</strong> Chambers, <strong>Wynyard</strong> at approximately 5:15pm. The<br />
meals will cater for <strong>Council</strong>lors and Staff formally attending the meeting.<br />
Sandwiches would no longer be provided after the meeting.<br />
6. Discussion<br />
The <strong>Council</strong> may determine the most appropriate timing for ordinary<br />
meetings. The only provision included within the Regulations is that an<br />
ordinary meeting is to be conducted at least once per month. All meetings are<br />
to commence after 5:00 pm unless determined otherwise by the <strong>Council</strong> by<br />
absolute majority.<br />
<strong>Waratah</strong>-<strong>Wynyard</strong> <strong>Council</strong> – Ordinary Meeting Agenda – <strong>19</strong> <strong>January</strong> <strong>2009</strong> Page 18
<strong>Council</strong> Reports<br />
The proposed 6:00pm commencement time will allow for a meal to be served<br />
immediately prior to an Ordinary meeting. It is also noted that Circular Head<br />
<strong>Council</strong> holds its Ordinary meetings on the third Thursday of each month<br />
commencing at 6:00pm following a meal.<br />
7. Risk<br />
No risks have been identified in relation to this matter.<br />
8. Conclusion<br />
The determination of the timing and alternative locations of meetings is<br />
presented for consideration.<br />

Respect Orders program.<br />
The Community Respect Orders program is an early intervention diversionary<br />
option based on a restorative justice approach, used by Tasmania Police, for<br />
youth and young adults, whereby the offender performs reparation work in the<br />
community under the supervision of Tasmania Police.<br />
TVIN Visitor Experience Assistant Grant<br />
The Wonders of <strong>Wynyard</strong> received a grant for $5,000 under the TVIN Visitor<br />
Experience Assistance Grants. The grant will enable the WOW to implement a<br />
more efficient on-line booking system. Acquisition of the Book Easy Booking<br />
System will make the <strong>Wynyard</strong> Visitor Centre compatible with Tier 1 and Tier<br />
3 Visitor Centres in Tasmania.<br />

<strong>Council</strong> Reports<br />
The project involves a training component for Centre staff. This will enable<br />
the Centre to have a 24 hour, 7 days per week sales presence which is<br />
important as it will ensure that the Veteran Car Exhibition can be marketed<br />
and promoted more effectively to tour groups. With 34,000 visitors last<br />
financial year, this system will maximise the Centre’s yield and provide an<br />
industry standard booking service.<br />
Social and Economic Impact Study into Gambling in Tasmania<br />
The Tasmanian Gaming Commission's (TGC) report on the Social and<br />
Economic Impact Study into Gambling in Tasmania was released on 11<br />
December 2008 by the Treasurer, The Hon. Michael Aird MLC.<br />
The original Social and Economic Impact Study (SEIS) into Gambling in<br />
Tasmania, which was published on 22 July 2008, was commissioned by the<br />
State Department of Treasury and Finance Tasmania and was prepared by the<br />
South Australian Centre for Economic Studies. The complete copies of both<br />
reports may be accessed from the State Treasury website.<br />
A summary of both reports are laid on the table.<br />

CHILDREN’S SERVICES<br />
Parent interviews took place in December with approximately six families in<br />
each room meeting with staff to discuss their children’s progress.<br />
The annual Christmas party was held on the 17 th December with<br />
approximately 60 families attending. There was plenty of entertainment<br />
including a jumping castle, face painting, magician and balloon artist. Santa<br />
arrived at around 7.00pm on the fire engine with treats for the children. This<br />
is a wonderful social event for families to come together.<br />
The children from the Little Goldie Street program participated in the<br />
Christmas parade on Christmas Eve with most children and some family<br />
members joining in. The children and staff walked in the parade dressed as<br />
reindeers - a banner that the staff and children had worked on was carried with<br />
the Centre’s name and details displayed.<br />

The Tasmanian Youth Forum was held in Launceston and was attended by the<br />
Community Development Officer along with local youth representative Dillon<br />
Roberts. The forum focussed on innovative projects/programs to address youth<br />
homelessness in Tasmania.<br />
Support was provided for the Carols by Candlelight evening in Gutteridge<br />
Gardens at an alternative area due to work in progress on the stage and<br />
surrounds. Lighting and seating were provided.<br />
The Norfolk Pine on the corner of Arthur and Pelissier streets in Somerset was<br />
selected to be illuminated as a Christmas tree. The tree has generated<br />
considerable interest in the community. Unfortunately there wasn’t any follow<br />
up from the media. Next year an official lighting up event will be organised to<br />
increase media attention.<br />
Work has commenced on documenting walkways/ pathways in Somerset and<br />
<strong>Wynyard</strong> with a view to identifying extensions, links and circuits to improve<br />
walker experiences. This project is proposed to be funded from financial<br />
assistance package from the Commonwealth Government announced recently.<br />
The Caring for our Country funding has been announced. A boardwalk for<br />
Penguin tours at Doctors Rocks was approved along with environmental work<br />
on Sisters Creek. <strong>Council</strong> will auspice the latter project with Cradle Coast<br />
looking after the former one.<br />
