In concentrating new housing in Infill housing is largely absent within This could be achieved through a mix existing urban areas, and providing the Tasmanian housing market, with the of 'gentle density' including ancillary a compromise between larger, majority of new housing development dwellings, small subdivisions and small detached homes and higher density located on the urban fringe, mostly as townhouse typologies, appropriately apartments, infill housing supports detached houses. positioned within existing suburbs, combined with more concentrated broader policy outcomes, including Low density housing on the urban nodes of higher density low-rise and fringe is often the most affordable improved accessibility; increased medium-rise residential developments, type of housing for many households. housing diversity; and the more in proximity to high frequency It is also the most affordable type efficient and sustainable use of passenger transport services. existing infrastructure and services. of housing for developers to deliver.

    FRAPT Floodplain Risk Assessment Guidelines

    Floodplain Risk Assessment Guidelines for Municipal Councils in Tasmania Guidelines for consistent floodplain risk assessment in Tasmania SESSTATE EMERGENCY SERVICE Guidelines for consistent floodplain risk assessment in Tasmania Floodplain risk assessments in Tasmania Flooding in a natural process. Many towns are located within the floodplain and derive social, economic and environmental benefits from occupying these areas. However, floods can impose significant costs on these communities if flood risk is inadequately managed. Flooding is one of the highest risk natural hazards that pose a threat to Tasmania1. Flooding was the second most costly natural hazard between 1967 and 2005, with the average annual cost of flooding in Tasmania estimated to be $6.9million2. Although many Councils will have their own risk management framework for managing natural hazards, the use of flood study information in local flood risk management decision-making is “…generally inconsistent and limited in some instances”3. Context of these guidelines Councils provide leadership at the municipal level for emergency management in Tasmania. This includes chairing Municipal Emergency Management Committees (MEMCs) that undertake municipal level all-hazards risk assessments and coordinate the treatment of these risks at the local level. Many Councils also directly undertake floodplain risk management activities. These guidelines are aimed at Councils and MEMCs whose risk profile includes significant risks posed by flooding hazards, and are intended to assist with the conduct of detailed flood specific risk assessments that may be required to compliment municipal level all-hazards risk assessments. These Guidelines summarise a method for the assessment of floodplain risks that is consistent with the revised 2015 National Emergency Risk Assessment Guidelines (NERAG)4,5 and the Australian Emergency Management floodplain risk management guideline (AEM7)6.
  • Black and White Children in Welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940

    Black and White Children in Welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940

    ‘Such a Longing’ Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Naomi Parry PhD August 2007 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Parry First name: Naomi Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: History Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: ‘Such a longing’: Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Abstract 350 words maximum: When the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission tabled Bringing them home, its report into the separation of indigenous children from their families, it was criticised for failing to consider Indigenous child welfare within the context of contemporary standards. Non-Indigenous people who had experienced out-of-home care also questioned why their stories were not recognised. This thesis addresses those concerns, examining the origins and history of the welfare systems of NSW and Tasmania between 1880 and 1940. Tasmania, which had no specific policies on race or Indigenous children, provides fruitful ground for comparison with NSW, which had separate welfare systems for children defined as Indigenous and non-Indigenous. This thesis draws on the records of these systems to examine the gaps between ideology and policy and practice. The development of welfare systems was uneven, but there are clear trends. In the years 1880 to 1940 non-Indigenous welfare systems placed their faith in boarding-out (fostering) as the most humane method of caring for neglected and destitute children, although institutions and juvenile apprenticeship were never supplanted by fostering. Concepts of child welfare shifted from charity to welfare; that is, from simple removal to social interventions that would assist children's reform.
