Welcome

This blog is about Rosny Hill, its assets, the many enjoyable experiences to be had there and potential losses of its natural features.

What we know about hill development proposals.

At the moment it is difficult to determine the exact situation.


Some details can be verified by examining Clarence City Council's quarterly reports.

From the CCC September quarterly report

No application received - December
















In response to letters from the RHFN, Clarence Council has expressed the view that as no development application has been received, there are currently no issues to discuss.

Look up 'Rosny Hill Development' on the CCC homepage and you will be taken here:


              What Council is publishing

It reads well - keeping ratepayers informed. The first download is fine but when you try to access the two documents at the bottom of the page it is a different story today.

There are some  details  in the Hobart Mercury archives. Fortunately the Rosny Hill Fiends Network has some images from when the Hunter Developments proposal was in the Public Domain.
This image is from Hunter Developments November 2015 proposal


Zooming in on the Public Space.



This space is actually the roof of the hotel. It will be more even underfoot than the current carpark, but just as windy in spring, when the northerlies blow.

Rosny Hill Friends Network view...


is that this development is too big for Rosny Hill. Modest development would enhance the hill views and protect its ecosystem.

The problem is...

that once a development application is received, the time to respond may be quite short. 
With Tasmania's planning scheme currently undergoing change, we cannot be sure of the precise scheme under which a development proposal would be assessed.

This is not just a concern in Rosny - Montagu Bay, but statewide.
The homepage if the Tasmanian Planning Information Network can be found by clicking this link.
You will find images posted by groups from all around Tasmania.
