25.01.2022 Submission against Major Projects Legislation: Legal advice has been received clearly showing the proposed Major Projects legislation to be entirely suited to the development industry. Highrise towers, already refused, could be fast-tracked and approved by Development Assessment Panels (DAPs). A better name would be Developer Approvals Paradise!... We're hoping for over 1,000 submissions against this one-sided, unnecessary legislation.

25.01.2022 Tribunal backs council ruling on Welcome Stranger development proposal CAMERON WHITELEY, Sunday Tasmanian, January 12, 2020 THE state’s planning tribunal has dealt another blow to a proposed $30 million development at the site of the Welcome Stranger hotel in central Hobart.... The ... Tribunal on Friday released its decision following a hearing in November, upholding Hobart City Council’s refusal of the application. ... in its decision, the tribunal said it accepts the submission of the council that the height of the proposal on both the Harrington Street and Davey Street frontages will unreasonably dominate the adjacent heritage listed buildings. Hobart Not Highrise spokesman Brian Corr said he was happy with the outcome. We’re certainly pleased, because it means that the council made the right decision and is now supported by the tribunal which is always good,’’ he said. It does protect the heritage and streetscape of that particular area in town which is really nicely preserved. Council’s Deputy Lord Mayor Helen Burnet said the tribunal’s decision vindicated the council’s, which she said put a high value on heritage. If you look along Davey St, that’s a million dollar view and the streetscape is a really important aspect,’’ she said. The value of heritage has been won in this decision. Prior to its vote in July, the council had received 883 submissions on the proposal, of which 800 were against. The proponents declined to comment on the tribunal’s decision.
