  • Catalyst for Change? R.A
    UHPH_14: Landscapes and ecologies of urban and planning history | 587 Catalyst for Change? R.A. McInnis and town planning in Launceston 1945 to 1956 Stefan Petrow University of Tasmania [email protected] Between 1945 and 1956 R. A. McInnis served as Tasmania’s first Town and Country Planning Commissioner and was charged with the responsibility of winning acceptance for the Town and Country Planning Act 1944, the first major piece of planning legislation in Tasmania. During his period as Commissioner McInnis faced many obstacles and challenges and did not always achieve his objectives, but he was pivotal to the successful implementation of town and country planning in Tasmania. Previous work on McInnis has provided an overview of his work, but this paper will analyse how influential McInnis was in stimulating town planning in Launceston, Tasmania’s second largest city. Town planning enthusiasts in Launceston had been pressing the virtues of town planning since 1915, but without much success because of a lack of effective legislation and of town planning expertise. The context changed with the passage of the 1944 Act and McInnis’ appointment. Although strains and tensions were evident in McInnis’ relations with the Launceston City Council, aldermen and city officials came to rely on his experience and judgement before following through on town planning proposals. On some issues such as extending city boundaries and furthering regional planning McInnis was a valuable ally of the City Council in its relations with the surrounding municipalities that cramped the growth of Launceston. McInnis also assigned his staff, especially Dutch-trained Hans Westerman, to assist with a zoning plan for the city and a regional master plan.

Executive Summary 1.1 Planning approval is sought for Path Extension and Associated Works and Landscaping. Page: 1 of 23 1.2 More specifically the proposal involves the following: The Hobart Rivulet Path currently extends west from the carpark at 40­44 Molle Street through Council­owned parkland known as 46­48 Molle Street towards the eastern end of McKellar Street. In the vicinity of the eastern end of McKellar Street the path splits ­ a short, relatively steep section of path rises to meet the end of McKellar Street, providing access through to South Hobart, while a flat, dead­end section of path leads to the Korean Grove Memorial. Currently, people visiting the Korean Grove Memorial but wanting to reach South Hobart need to retrace their steps along the dead­end section of path before rejoining the main Rivulet Path which turns back along McKellar Street. Also, the McKellar Street section of the Hobart Rivulet Path is currently in the form of a narrow, gravel foothpath beside the asphalt street. The proposal is to extend the Hobart Rivulet Path through 18 McKellar Street to Gore Street, so that a continuous pedestrian and bicycle link is formed.

Peter Pa tmore 23'" February 2000 iv ABSTRACT The Tasmanian Labor Party has found itself, like many western social democratic parties, recently subject to challenge; not from its traditional enemy, the economic right, but froma new postmaterialist left. This thesis considers the concept of postmaterialism, its rise and role in the fo rmation of new ecocentric political parties, and its impact on the structure, ideology and electoral strategy of the Tasmanian Labor Party. Maurice Duverger's typology of political parties has been used to elucidate and consider the characteristics and fo rmation of political parties and the importance of electoral systems - particularly proportional representation - in achieving representational success.
