9 Star Street, Sandy Bay
The Hobart City Council Planning Authority Committee has refused a development application for visitor accommodation (12 units) for 9 Star Street, Sandy Bay, on several grounds including the incompatibility of the proposal with surrounding development in relation to its proposed street frontage and overall scale.
50 Macquarie Street, Hobart (Maritime Museum)
The Hobart Planning Authority Committee has approved a development application for signage at 50 Macquarie Street, Hobart.
The proposal includes several interpretive signs: one in the door alcove on Davey Street, one on a Corten frame at the eastern corner facing Davey Street, and two on the Argyle Street frontage—one midway along the Maritime Museum on a Corten frame, and another near the entrance on a Corten frame. None of the signs will be illuminated.
479 Sandy Bay Road, Sandy Bay
The Hobart City Council Planning Authority Committee has approved a development application for signage at 479 Sandy Bay Road, Sandy Bay.
The proposal includes six signs: a pole/pylon sign, a window sign, two painted wall signs (one facing Sandy Bay Road and one marking the restaurant entrance), a vertical projecting lightbox sign for the restaurant entrance, and an illuminated vertical projecting sign on the corner canopy. It is a condition that the "Jet Service Station" must remain unchanged to preserve the heritage values of the site (as required by the Tasmanian Heritage Council).
Office Level Development Applications approved between 28 November 2024 and 13 January 2025
Between Hobart City Council Planning Authority Committee meetings, the City's Planning Officers are busy reviewing a range of residential and commercial development applications for Hobart.
Since the last meeting, 60 development applications delegated to council officers were also approved while 51 development applications were advertised for public input.
A reminder that the Council has a planner on duty during office hours which members of the community can call through our Customer Services to check to see whether any development or work to a garden will require planning approval.
