Page: 3 of 33 2. Site Detail 2.1 The subject site is located on the north eastern side of the Elizabeth Street Mall, between the same and Kemp Street in the central city. Directly adjacent development are predominantly two to three storey commercial buildings, with taller buildings of similar or greater number of floors located within the surrounding city block. The building was constructed for Kodak as an unusual tall and narrow building in the 1920s and is notable for its bright yellow paint finish and unusual proportions. Figure 1: Site Plan (Geo Cortex, 2020) 2.2 The primary facade in Elizabeth Street contains what appear to be original windows and associated hardware. The facade itself is a traditional and ornamented design. In 1929 the Kodak company extended the building adding the current 4th floor. The construction methodology and details of the upper level are thus slightly different from the lower floors. This 1929 extension has a substantial masonry Kodak House identifying sign. In the latter part of the 20th century the Kodak company added illuminated neon signs and also painted signs to the exterior of the building. Page: 4 of 33 2.3 The unusual proportions, the yellow tone and the various signs of Kodak house make it distinctive in Central Hobart and identifiable with other historic Kodak buildings around Australia. Figure 2: Elizabeth Street (mall) elevation (Officer photo, 2020_ Page: 5 of 33 2.4 The rear elevation contains an external fire stair which extends into the Kemp Street road reserve. The difference in height between Elizabeth Street and Kemp Streets is such that street level at Elizabeth Street is actually a floor above ground at the Kemp Street frontage, making the basement for the building street level for that rear street. Reference throughout this report will be ground level at Elizabeth Street. Part of the reason for the significant difference in floor levels is the depression in which the property sits in Kemp Street. The site is subject to flooding from the nearby subterranean Hobart Rivulet, which flows under Wellington Court to the north. In previous flood events, the basement area has been known to be subject to inundation and Council responsible for replacement cost for damaged stock. Because the basement level is only to be used for storage and lobby, this inundation concern has not proved fatal to future development. Figure 3: Kemp Street elevation (officer photo, 2020) Page: 6 of 33 2.5 The interior layout reflect previous office uses in the first and second floors, with photographic laboratories located on the upper floors. A disused elevator is located towards the rear of the building and the internal staircase wraps around the lift shaft. North facing windows sit centally in the middle floors, providing light to the the building, whilst large bay windows at the front of the building provide virtually floor to ceiling western light. Internal dividing walls and lowered false ceiling divide the main area on each floor between the lift and Elizabeth Street. There is an east facing room with external access on the fire stairs with a window fronting Kemp Street on each floor. Figure 4: Internal views of level 1 and basement (officer photo, 2020) 2.6 Level 4, which is located behind the Kodak house masonary sign, does not have west facing windows and relies on skylights for light. The front portion still retains remnants of the dark rooms and processing laboratory equipment. Page: 7 of 33 Figure 5: Level 4 (floor to be lowered and roof to be removed (Officer photo, 2020) 3. Proposal 3.1 Planning approval is sought for Partial Demolition, Alterations, Extension and Change of Use to General Retail and Hire and Five Multiple Dwellings at 45 ELIZABETH STREET HOBART TAS 7000.

  • Hobart, on Friday, 15 October 2010
    THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL SELECT COMMITTEE ON VIOLENCE IN THE COMMUNITY MET IN COMMITTEE ROOM 2, PARLIAMENT HOUSE, HOBART, ON FRIDAY, 15 OCTOBER 2010. Professor ROB WHITE, UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA, WAS CALLED, MADE THE STATUTORY DECLARATION AND WAS EXAMINED. CHAIR (Mr Wilkinson) - Thanks, Rob, for coming along. As you know, the terms of reference revolve around violence in the community. We thought you could be of great assistance in letting us know your views in accordance with the terms of reference. Prof. WHITE - I am very pleased to have been invited to talk with you. I have been away a bit, which is why I have been delayed in having an opportunity to speak with you. I have included some background documents, which I would like to submit to the committee. I will briefly describe them and I will talk about what I think some of the key issues are. The first page is a brief summary that provides a snapshot of how I feel about violence in the community. I will come back and describe a bit about that in a moment. Basically I did it as an editorial for a youth online discussion group relating to violence in the community. The second item is a reproduction of an article on violence in the Mall that I penned called, 'Respect is a two-way street', that tries to put a context in terms of what kind of responses we should be having to questions of violence. The third submission is much more substantial. It is called 'Alcohol and Interpersonal Violence: A Discussion Paper'.
