THE GENERAL MANAGER ADVISES THE TASMANIAN PLANNING COMMISSION

Following up on the Tasmanian Planning Commission's  letter to the George Town Council attached to the previous posting:

 

In answering the TPC's 'caution' that the proposed development (ie LINC Hub) on Regent Square – for which the Amendment to allow a "Civic" Building was being sought – MAY not fit the "Civic" use, the General Manager replied in part:

 

"The degree of integration of any proposed uses which may form part of a future development on the site does not form part of the current application for a specified departure and as such Council is not in a position to argue that a particular use which may be proposed will or will not fit the definition of a Civic Building.

 

If the uses described are indeed the intention of the applicant and the amendment is approved, then the applicant may be required to substantiate such an argument in another forum. ... ... "
