Purpose and process of Regulatory Impact Statement When a Council seeks to make a new or significant By-law amendment, the Local Government Act 1993, requires that a Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) be prepared. The preparation of an RIS requires Council to analyse the most efficient and effective options available to address a particular issue. The RIS is also required to identify whether the benefits provided by the new By-law outweigh the costs of any restrictions on competition or the potential adverse impacts on business. This requires an assessment of direct and indirect social, economic and environmental impacts of the proposed By-law and the alternatives considered. The Local Government Act 1993, under Section 156A, requires that, once the RIS has been prepared, Council must submit it to the Director of Local Government, Department of Premier and Cabinet for assessment. If the Director is satisfied that the RIS meets the statutory requirements, he or she will issue a certificate to that effect and Council may then commence the public consultation process.

  • Landslides in Tasmania
    Landslide Brochure 1 Landslides in Tasmania Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT) has for many years studied and mapped landslides throughout Tasmania in response to community concerns about the dangers posed by land instability. This brochure provides information specific to Tasmania, but there are numerous general sources of information about landslide risk management also available. Do landslides occur in Tasmania? Landslides (or slope failures) are widespread in Tasmania and are typically the result of natural processes that have been occurring over long geological time scales. Landslides occur in a range of sizes and types due to Tasmania’s varied geology, topography and geomorphic (land forming) processes, including the effects of past and present climates. Landslides can also be triggered by human activities and can occur in surprising and unexpected places. Is there a serious landslide risk in Tasmania? Research conducted by MRT shows that large tracts of land throughout Tasmania are susceptible to slope instability, including parts of all the major urban areas. Distribution of known landslides in Tasmania (yellow The nature and magnitude of the known past landslides indicate that similar events points) — about 2700 landslide occurrences are stored in the MRT landslide database (as of 2014). In reality occurring today would have the potential for significant damage to property and, in many more will not have been reported or mapped. Red some cases, may put lives at risk. points are records of known damage to buildings and infrastructure, including at least 125 houses, caused by Over 150 buildings in landslides. Tasmania (including at least 125 houses) are known to have been damaged or destroyed by landslides since the 1950s — in all probability there are many more.

  • Taroona Entry Into Kingborough – Cartwright Reserve
    Taroona Entry into Kingborough – Cartwright Reserve The Taroona Community has raised concern about sign pollution, out of date signs and poles littering Cartwright Reserve. This iconic reserve has the historic stone Grange Horse Trough and forms an entry into the Kingborough Municipality through the urban settlement of Taroona. This site is also the border between Kingborough and Hobart Council on Channel Highway. Figure 1 aerial image of Cartwright Reserve Taroona In 1976 the Channel Highway was realigned and the gully filled in to provide what is commonly known as Cartwright Reserve. In 1978 the historic Grange Stone Trough was reassembled and placed on the southern side of the park. The park was developed by Kingborough and Hobart Councils “with parking bays and ornamental trees” as the municipal boundary passes through the centre of the reserve. The original plan for the reserve has evolved and small gardens have been placed on the Kingborough side and facilities include a picnic shelter, historic trough and parking and other picnic table settings. Figure 2 the stone Grange Horse Trough The current proliferation of signs has negated the historic relevance and importance of this heritage item and the current community conversation could be expanded to consider a joint park development with Hobart and Kingborough where the concept is developed to include improving signage revisiting and rediscovering heritage installing interpretation for visitors improving landscape and facilities on Cartwright Reserve. SIGNS There is a proliferation of signs that are not being maintained and many are competing for recognition and provide only a jumble of visual pollution thereby negating the intention to inform or arrest an interest from passers-by on bikes, buses or in vehicles.
