(e) Shear strength testing of the overall design.

cont.../
AGENDA OPEN COUNCIL MEETING PAGE 35
22/9/2014


Item No. 9.2 continued.

Embankment Design

The embankments forming retarding basins are to be
designed as dams using appropriate stability analyses
and practices. In particular appropriate foundation
treatment should be specified. For embankments suitable
compaction levels should be specified and protection
provided to cater for cracking or dispersive soils.
Impervious zones of the embankment should take the
form of a centrally located ‘core’ rather than an
upstream face zone to reduce the effects of drying which
may lead to cracking. Chimney intercept filters and
filter/drainage blankets must be used for all high and
extreme hazard category retarding basins. Such filters
may also be required for lower hazard category retarding
basins. All embankments constructed from dispersion
soils must have a chimney filter and downstream
filter/drain.

Embankment slopes and their protection should take into
account long term maintenance of the structure. Trees
should not be planted on embankments. Preferably,
embankments should be protected by a uniform, robust
grass cover that can be routinely mown and inspected for
defects.

Spillways

In general, the spillway capacity should be based on the
consequence rating of the structure as defined by the
ANCOLD rating system. The consequence rating
defines the required “Fallback” Design Flood.

The design capacity of spillways should be set assuming
no contribution to flood capacity from any outlets that
have the potential to become blocked during an event.
Unless it can be clearly shown that the outlet would
remain fully or partially functional during the inundation
the outlet must be assumed to be blocked. A sensitivity
analysis of impacts of outlet blocking or being partially
blocked can be used as part of designing the spillway
capacity.
cont.../
AGENDA OPEN COUNCIL MEETING PAGE 36
22/9/2014


Item No. 9.2 continued.

Outlet structures and gratings should be designed such
that they inhibit the accumulation of debris and allow
maximum outlet flow to continue for as long as possible
during a storm event. Grates directly on the pipe should
be avoided where possible and other means to provide
public safety, such as pools at inlet and outlets to deter
entry to the pipe.

Vegetation

Vegetation cover on embankments should be limited to
grass. This grass cover should be able to be mown easily
and safety. Vegetation can be undesirable on retarding
basin embankments for structural integrity, surveillance
and maintenance reasons. Vegetation around structures
such as pits, spillways and pipelines should be chosen
such that the structure will not be damaged by roots and
access for maintenance is available. Trees must not be
planted on any embankment.

Conduits below or through embankments

Designers should be aware of the effects of any service
conduits (gas, power, water, sewer etc) that penetrate
earthen dams or retarding basin embankments in respect
of initiating potential piping failures. Gas and high
pressure water lines should be re-routed. Sewers and
similar pipelines must be treated as conduits through or
below the embankment and have appropriate defensive
measures such as intercept filter zones, to guard against
piping.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is a critical factor to ensure the
long-term safe operation of retarding basins, dams and
weirs. Therefore, the design of any associated retaining
structures and appurtenances should take into account
the ease of maintenance with respect to:

(i) All-weather safe access to the structure and assets
within for:

(a) clearing of debris;
cont.../
AGENDA OPEN COUNCIL MEETING PAGE 37

(b) tree planting – location and type; and

(c) removal of small trees from embankments.

To discuss this condition further, please contact the
Council’s Manager Road and Environmental
Engineering on telephone 6238 2759.

MOTIONS OF WHICH NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN UNDER REGULATION

REGULATIONS 2005
That in accordance with Council Policy 2.01E the following Notice of Motion which
was adopted by the Development and Environmental Services Committee, be
considered by the Council.

12. PINNACLE ROAD TO SUMMIT OF KUNANYI/MOUNT
WELLINGTON – NOMINATION FOR LISTING IN TASMANIAN
HERITAGE REGISTER – FILE REFS: 13-1-9; 753
Ref. Open DESC 10, 15/9/2014

ALDERMAN HARVEY “That a report be prepared examining the
nomination by Council of Pinnacle Road to
the summit of kunanyi/Mt Wellington for
listing in the Tasmanian Heritage Register
under the Historic Cultural Heritage Act
1995.

Rationale:

The Pinnacle Road to the summit of kunanyi/Mt Wellington, constructed over
thirty months in the 1930’s, has been recognised as a great feat of engineering
but less so as a successful work program for unemployed men during the great
depression.

The road provided much desired access to the summit and was celebrated as a
great achievement by the State Government under the leadership of Premier
Ogilvie and the Hobart City Council of the day.

Historically, a road to the summit had been talked about for many years, but it
was only with the availability of cheap labour as a result of high unemployment
caused by the depression that the opportunity to build the road became available.
So while the road to the summit is well recognised, the circumstances that
brought about its construction and the benefit to those unemployed men who
constructed it is largely unknown.

The Mountain is one of the States most loved and visited tourist attractions and
has achieved iconic status. The Pinnacle Road is an integral part of the story of
Hobart and should be a more recognised part of the narrative of the Mountain.
This part of the story is not well highlighted.

cont.../
AGENDA OPEN COUNCIL MEETING PAGE 87
22/9/2014


Item No. 12 continued.

Heritage listing the road will add great value to the story of kunanyi/Mt
Wellington. It could potentially, with the right interpretation, focus the attention
of visitors to the significance of the journey to the summit and the circumstances
of the period in history that allowed and facilitated its construction.

The circumstances surrounding the decision to initiate the project, the
engineering challenges of the time, the harsh conditions experienced by the
workers and the stories of the many desperate men who found employment
during the construction are all important components to a story that needs to be
more fully acknowledged. The Pinnacle Road is a very worthy candidate for
heritage listing at both a State and potentially national level. It’s time that it
received due recognition.

To achieve heritage listing, only one of the following criteria needs to be
determined:

(a) the place is important to the course or pattern of Tasmania’s history;

(b) the place possesses uncommon or rare aspects of Tasmania’s history;

(c) the place has the potential to yield information that will contribute to an
understanding of Tasmania’s history;

(d) the place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a
class of place in Tasmania’s history;

(e) the place is important in demonstrating a high degree of creative or
technical achievement;

(f) the place has a strong or special association with a particular community or
cultural group for social or spiritual reasons;

(g) the place has a special association with the life or work of a person, or
group of persons, of importance in Tasmania’s history; or

(h) the place is important in exhibiting particular aesthetic characteristics.”


The General Manager reports:

“In accordance with Clause 5 of the Notices of Motions procedures, I provide the
following qualification as to whether the substance of this Notice of Motion
resides within the jurisdiction of the Hobart City Council:

Pinnacle Road is under the ownership and control of the City of Hobart.”

13. DEVELOPMENT OF A CODE OF PRACTICE FOR BEEKEEPING
– FILE REFS: 13-1-9; 17-4-1
Ref. Open DESC 11, 15/9/2014

ALDERMAN HARVEY “That a report be prepared on the
development of an Urban Code of Practice for
honey bee keeping.

(i) The Code of Practice be established in
consultation with the Southern Bee
Keepers Association Inc.

Rationale:

Bees are critical to global food security. It is estimated that 70% of agricultural
food production is dependent on bees for pollination and that without healthy bee
populations it would be impossible to maintain a productive agricultural sector.

Agriculture is a mainstay of Tasmania’s economy and also our clean and green
food brand. The commercial honey industry has also existed for decades in
Tasmania and the State boasts a unique and popular type of honey. It is in the
States best interest that healthy bee populations are maintained.

Domestic beekeeping has also existed for generations but now with the growing
interest in environmental sustainability and urban agriculture we are witnessing a
growth in urban beekeeping. Currently though, Council information and
regulation on urban beekeeping is very limited and what little information there
is, is restrictive.

Hobart City Council’s Health & Environmental Services By-law (1 of 2008),
Keeping of Bee Hives

1) A person may keep a maximum of 2 bee hives both of which must be located
at least 50 metres from the nearest dwelling.

2) A person must not keep more than 2 bee hives without the written
permission of the General Manager.

Penalty: 2 penalty units.

Currently, bees are listed as ‘pests’ rather than ‘livestock’ on the Council website
(excerpt below) and residents are advised to call a pest controller.
cont.../
AGENDA OPEN COUNCIL MEETING PAGE 89
22/9/2014


Item No. 13 continued.


Bees & European Wasp

A person may keep a maximum of 2 bee hives both of which must be located at
least 50 metres from the nearest dwelling. Written permission from the General
Manager must be sought prior to the hives being placed on the premises.

Council does not remove European wasps or bees from private property.
Property owners are advised to contact a pest controller or seek advice in
removing the nests themselves.

For bees reported on Council land, the council deals with them as per the
preference of the person reporting them, which is either to kill them or have them
removed by a qualified beekeeper. This advice needs to change and the priority
option is to ensure that bees are collected and not treated in the same way as
European wasps.

As beekeeping grows in popularity, it is important that guidelines are available
that ensure best practices are maintained to prevent any potential negative
impacts on people, property, domestic animals or native flora and fauna. It is also
critical that beekeepers are aware of problems that effect their bees.

Council guidelines should reflect the critical importance to pollination and food
security, including the importance of bees to sustainable and productive urban
agriculture and local honey production.”


The General Manager reports:

“In accordance with Clause 5 of the Notices of Motions procedures, I provide the
following qualification as to whether the substance of this Notice of Motion
resides within the jurisdiction of the Hobart City Council:

Requirements around bee keeping are referenced in the Hobart City Council’s
Health & Environmental Services By-law (1 of 2008).”
