Glenorchy Gazett e January 2019 3 Community News Jai’s passport to adventure FOR Jai Childs, Chil- dren’s University Tasma- nia has been a passport to adventure. The Rosetta Primary School student joined the program only in late July but was among the 173 graduates who had the honour of leading the University of Tas- mania Town and Gown through the streets of Hobart in December. In addition to a shared interest in science, particularly astronomy, with this dad Michael, Jai’s resolve to accumulate enough hours of learning outside school hours to graduate has led to some significant father and son travel time. “We went to TastroFest [Tasmania’s Astronomy Festival],” Mr Childs said. “That was a long drive up to Ulverstone and back, and the next day we went to the University Open Day in Hobart.” The following weekend, father and son hit the road again to visit the Queen Victoria Mu- seum and the Planetari- um in Launceston. “We have put in plenty of miles and plenty of hours in the car together, but it has been really good,” Mr Childs said. “Jai has a telescope my friend gave to him Jai Childs with his father Michael. and we have had that out and been looking at how to use a pocket- nies were in December, ers and builds bridges to Each member is Peter Underwood his involvement in the Jupiter and the moons knife,” Jai said. and a total of 335 mem- employment and higher issued with a ‘Passport Centre deputy direc- program. around it, and the Inter- Children’s University bers graduated in 2018. education by connecting to Learning’, in which tor Dr Becky Shelley “It is also great that national Space Station.” Tasmania was launched The program helps them to a diverse range the hours of activity at said it was so exciting his dad is sharing that As a result of his in- in Tasmania in July 2015 to develop children into of learning experiences validated learning desti- that Jai was exploring learning journey with volvement in Children’s through the Peter Un- adaptable, lifelong learn- outside of school hours. nations are recorded. new passions through him,” she said.

Glenorchy Gazette January 2019 21

Environmental survey GLENORCHY City Council is conducting a survey to find out what residents think about the local environment. “We want to know what reserves people visit, what people think are the most important environmental issues facing our area, what environmental behaviours people currently practice and how people rank the local environment in terms of importance compared with other aspects of their lives,” Glenorchy City Council environmental engagement officer Carl Gallagher said. Data collected from this survey will be used to shape future programs and strategies around the City of Glenorchy’s natural areas and open spaces. Residents can find out more and take part in the survey by visiting the council website at www.gcc.tas.gov.au. COUNCIL DECISIONS: DECISIONS FROM THE COUNCIL MEETING ON 26 NOVEMBER 2018 INCLUDED: DRAFT LOCAL PROVISIONS SCHEDULE (TASMANIAN PLANNING SCHEME):

Council endorsed Council’s draft Local Provisions Schedule (LPS), which will now be submitted to the Tasmanian Planning Commission (TPC) for assessment. STAGE 1 – PELTRO STREET CYCLE LINK The LPS is part of the new statewide planning scheme that applies specifically to land use in Glenorchy. Complete. It effectively applies the zones and codes set out in the State Planning Provisions to the Glenorchy municipality, and also sets out specific local provisions. STAGE 2 – MAIN ROAD – O’BRIEN’S BRIDGE TO BARRY STREET If implemented, the LPS will supersede the Glenorchy Interim Planning Scheme 2015. Also, complete. The draft LPS is the culmination of almost three years of work by Council’s Planning Services section, and its completion is a STAGE 3 – MAIN ROAD – TERRY STREET TO BARRY STREET significant and commendable achievement by the team.

The final stage of works is heavily into the design stages, with preliminary design complete, and detailed design under review for construction. ADOPTION OF COUNCIL AND GLENORCHY PLANNING AUTHORITY MEETING DATES Works for Stage 3 will be broken down into three stages – the first work phase, Stage 3A (Terry FOR 2019: Street to Tolosa Street), is scheduled to begin in February 2019, with completion by 30 June 2019. Council meetings will continue to be held on the last Monday of every month commencing at 6pm. Works will commence on the Council Chambers side of the street and be complete to the Peppercorn Tree by April to allow the Anzac Day ceremony to proceed unhindered. Glenorchy Planning Authority meetings will be held monthly on a Monday, commencing at 5pm. Days may change if there is a clash with public holidays. Work will then continue on to the corner of Terry Street and Main Road, then the shops side of Main Road, finishing with work on the corner of Peltro Streer and Main Road. A full list of the meeting dates for 2019 is available on Council’s website. Final work element for Stage 3A will be paving from the Peltro/Terry Street intersection along to RECONFIRMATION OF GLENORCHY CITY COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLAN: the Tolosa Street intersection.

The Ministerial Directions required Council to undertake a review of its strategic plan. Council undertook that review and determined that it was satisfied with the current plan, which will now remain in place.

The next Council Meeting will be held on Tuesday 29 January 2019 at 6pm.
