Bridgewater Bridge Northern Interchange Precinct Masterplan

Background

The Bridgewater Bridge Major Project (the Bridge Project) will replace the existing Bridgewater Bridge with four motor vehicle lanes, crossings for pedestrians and cyclists, and connecting ramps with Gunn Street and Old Main Road at the Northern interchange at Bridgewater. The Bridge Project is expected to be constructed by 2025.

The Bridge Project will significantly change the road layout and movement of vehicles and pedestrians in the northern interchange area (in Bridgewater) as it will remove most of the highway traffic, create improved connectivity to Gunn Street, Nielsen Esplanade, and the Derwent River foreshore, and provide for additional public open space.

Strategically located at the junction of residential, industrial and commercial uses, multiple transport modes, and land and water, the precinct becomes a destination in a growing region. Brighton Council has worked with Realm and the Department of State Growth to develop a comprehensive Masterplan for the precinct, referred to as the ‘Bridgewater Waterfront’ within the Masterplan document.

The Bridgewater Bridge Northern Interchange Precinct Masterplan

The Bridgewater Bridge Northern Interchange Precinct Masterplan (‘the Masterplan) project area includes the Project Land for the Bridge Project and expands along the foreshore to the east and west, and to eastern side of Sorell Street.

The Masterplan represents a unique opportunity to leverage the Bridgewater Bridge construction to the benefit of the Bridgewater community. The need to drastically improve community uses and accessibility provides the potential to reconsider the precinct.

During the project, it was identified that the Rural Living zoned land to the west of the project land could be rezoned and restructured to provide additional density to support the renewal of Old Main Road. Investigating the rezoning of this area to increase the supply of housing was a recommendation of the Brighton Structure Plan.

Therefore, this land has been considered in the Masterplan.

To ensure the Masterplan serves the current and future communities of Bridgewater, Council has engaged extensively with stakeholders to develop and refine this initial, proposed Masterplan.

Masterplan Endorsed for Public Consultation

The Brighton Council endorsed the Masterplan for community consultation for a period of one (1) month at its meeting on the 15^th August.

Final Masterplan Endorsed by Council

At its meeting of the 21^st November, the Brighton Council considered the 15 submissions received during the consultation period and endorsed the final Masterplan.

Small changes were made to the Masterplan in response to the submissions received although none were major.

The key issues raised in submissions regarded the possibility of some of the actions causing land use conflict with the rail network. Some additional comments were added to the Master Plan clarifying these matters.

The final Master Plan and related documents can be viewed on Council’s ‘Strategies and Plans’ page via the link below.

What is Natural Resource Management

We rely on our natural resources to support our economy, for our health and wellbeing, and to support our lifestyles.

Natural Resource Management (NRM) includes looking after our natural assets, caring for our land, soil and waterways, our plants and animals, so they stay healthy and productive.

NRM is about people working together to manage our precious resources, now and into the future.

Brighton’s draft NRM Strategy

Brighton Council has developed a draft Natural Resource Management Strategy to guide how council, community and other stakeholders can work together to sustainably manage Brighton’s natural resources.

The draft NRM Strategy was endorsed for community consultation at the Ordinary Council Meeting on 18th April 2023.

We invite you to view the documents below:

Brighton Social Infrastructure Plan

Community Consultation 2023

Brighton Council endorsed the findings of the Social Infrastructure Plan for community consultation at its December meeting.  The Social Infrastructure Plan identifies the gaps and needs for social infrastructure provision across the municipality to 2042.

Social infrastructure includes both open space and recreation, and community and cultural facilities by providing the places and spaces for people to meet, be active, connect, create and learn. It plays an integral part in bringing people together and provides opportunities for individuals, families, and communities to develop life skills; create healthy lifestyles; and to engage socially.  Social infrastructure also provides opportunities for all persons to maximise their potential, through diversity in educational, cultural, sporting, social and recreational offerings.

In recent years, rapid population growth has put considerable pressure on social infrastructure across the Brighton municipality, which is projected to be the fastest-growing LGA in Tasmania in percentage terms with an expected population gain of 33.4%, or 5,754 people, by 2042.

The Plan identifies priority actions for the  Brighton Council area as a whole as well as on a suburb-by-suburb basis.  Key challenges and opportunities identified in the Plan include:

• Young populations and a lack of youth space
• Areas of social disadvantage in the LGA
• Lack of social cohesion between neighbourhoods
• Low activation and vibrancy with limited people centred places
• Rapid population growth and planning for new communities
• Improving existing assets
• Deficit in creative infrastructure and local cultural spaces
• Significant undersupply of GPs living and working in the LGA

Key priority areas for open space and recreation include:

• Expanding the large amount of waterway related open space
• Considering the recreation infrastructure available at school sites
• Limited walkability in some areas, although noting Council’s work in upgrading Brighton’s existing walking and cycling network
• Spaces for informal individualised fitness-based activities
• A diversity of play offerings
• Dog friendly spaces, tennis facilities, and access to an indoor recreation centre

The full report and executive summary can be found here:

Have Your Say

You are invited to review the documents and make a written submission during the consultation period from 31^st January until 3^rd March 2023.

You can make your submission online here.

All submissions received during the consultation period will be considered by Council in making their final decision as to whether to endorse the report’s recommendations or whether the submissions received warrant changes.

Old Beach Zoning Review Report

Community Consultation 2023

Introduction

The Brighton Council engaged ERA Planning & Environment Consultants (ERA) to undertake the ‘Old Beach Zoning Review Project’.

The purpose of the Project was to analyse two (2) rural residential ‘precincts’ in Old Beach to determine whether they have the necessary conditions to accommodate further residential growth.

The precincts are shown below.

Figure 1 Study Precincts

ERA undertook community engagement in 2022, which found that approximately 48% of respondents in the precincts were open to change. The summary of the engagement is available below under the heading ‘Stage 1 Community Consultation Report – 2022’.

ERA have now concluded their ‘technical analysis’ which included a site analysis and traffic assessment. It found that the precincts have the necessary conditions to accommodate residential growth subject to infrastructure upgrades.

ERA’s key recommendation is for 31.2ha of land in Precinct A to be rezoned ‘General Residential’ and the remainder of land in the precincts rezoned ‘Future Urban’. The General Residential zoned portion of land has the potential to result in approximately 580 additional lots.

The Old Beach Zoning Review Report, Traffic Assessment and an indicative future road layout are available for your reference here:

Old Beach Zoning Review – Report – December 2022

Old Beach Zoning Traffic Assessment

Old Beach Zoning Potential Road Layout

Have Your Say

You are invited to review the documents and make a submission during the consultation period from 23 January until 20 February 2023.

You can make your submission online here:

Council Officers and ERA will report to Council on the submissions received during the exhibition period. Council will then decide whether to endorse ERA’s recommendations.

Any future rezoning of the land will be subject to a separate planning scheme amendment process. This project does not include a rezoning application.

For more information about the project, please contact Brian White at (03) 6268 7070.

Stage 1 – Community Consultation Report – 2022

The initial community engagement aspect of the project concluded in 2022, and ERA prepared summary documents of the key findings. These findings are available here:

Old Beach Zoning Review_ Engagement Summary Report

Old Beach Zoning Review_ Engagement Summary Presentation

Council and ERA would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation in the drop-in sessions and surveys for this initial stage of consultation. There was an impressive response rate to the engagement, with 72 responses received from the 104 properties in the study area.

Background

The Brighton Local Government Area (LGA) is one of the fastest growing areas in Tasmania. By 2033, Brighton LGA is expected to grow by over 7,000 people. Old Beach and its surrounding areas are growing at a rate of 3.5% per annum and by 2033, is predicted to grow by approximately 3,000 people.

In 2018, the Brighton Structure Plan (structure plan) identified that the current supply of zoned residential land is unlikely to meet anticipated demand for new housing over the next 10 to 15 years. As a result, the structure plan examined potential sites across the LGA that may be suitable for further residential growth. Two of these sites are located in the Old Beach area and are shown below in Figure 1 as Precinct A and Precinct B (the precincts). These precincts are currently zoned ‘Rural Living’ and are characterised by dwellings on larger lots than in suburban areas.

Council would like to understand the community’s views on further residential growth in these precincts.  If it is found that the precincts can accommodate residential growth, Council may look at changing the planning controls in the area to allow for additional housing through such things as rezoning or reducing minimum lot sizes or minimum areas for dwellings.

Figure 1 – Zoning review precincts

Stakeholder Consultation

The Brighton Industrial Estate Brand & Place Strategy , endorsed at the Ordinary Council Meeting on 15 December 2020 defined practical actions to reposition the Brighton Hub (formerly known as the Brighton Industrial Estate) as an attractive prospect for future investors and to support growth.

A key action to make the hub more open and welcoming, is to enhance the entry experience through better amenity, landscaping, and wayfinding.

To implement this action, Council engaged Playstreet Urban Design and collaborated with other stakeholders to develop a master plan and landscape framework for the gateway/entrance to the Brighton Hub. The master plan gives an idea of the desired layout for this gateway and identifies priorities and opportunities to improve amenity, landscaping, and pedestrian access. The landscape framework provides a more detailed description of how to achieve this.

These documents have been endorsed by Council and are available for public consultation until 24 October 2022. You can view them here:

Brighton Hub Gateway – Master plan

Brighton Hub Gateway – Landscape framework

Have your say

Please let us know your thoughts using the following link: Stakeholder Feedback Form – Brighton Hub Gateway

Submissions via the feedback form close on 24 October 2022.

Please remember that the draft master plan and landscape framework are aspirational documents. Provided that no significant amendments are required following public consultation, the development of the gateway/entrance is likely to be staged over several years.

What’s going on?

This is a Brighton Council street tree planting project in partnership with the Material Institute (MONA). The tree planting is in line with Council’s Greening Strategy and is connected to the master plan for the Bridgewater playground area.  It will be planted in two phases:

Phase 1 – Along Eddington street in June this year.

Phase 2 – Along the road next to the playground, with works planned next financial year.

Why are we doing this?

The trees are kindly donated by Material Institute to support community connections to the natural environment, encourage more children in nature-based play, and build a more climate-resilient environment.

We have chosen to plant small native evergreen gum trees that grow up to 6 metres and bloom with red, pink, or orange flowers in the spring. The location of the trees has been outlined in the following diagram:

These tree species have been chosen because of their tolerance to pests and diseases and adaptability to the soils in the area e.g. Eucalyptus Euky Dwarf

Have your say

Please let us know your thoughts using the following link: Community Feedback Form – Eddington Street

If you have any questions regarding our tree planting plan, please contact Kelly Min at (03) 6268 7022 or email: Kelly.Min@brighton.tas.gov.au.

The community consultation period on the South Brighton Master Plan identified that there were several improvements, or items requiring further investigation for the draft Master Plan. Twenty-two actions were generated from the feedback, which Council and the project consultants have been working on over the last few months.

Since May 2022, Council and the consultant team have been working on preparing the Final Draft South Brighton Master Plan.

A response to each of the 22 action items identified is also available here: Actions from Community Engagement.

What’s next?

Council now hopes to finalise a planning scheme amendment to have the land rezoned so that the Master Plan can be delivered. This process will include a further opportunity to provide submissions about the Master Plan and an opportunity for those with concerns to attend hearings with the Tasmanian Planning Commission.

How can I find out more?

If you would like to hear more about the Master Plan and the next steps, Council will be hosting a public meeting at 5pm on Wednesday 28 September at the Brighton Bowls Club, 212 Brighton Road, Brighton. The public meeting will include a short presentation and an opportunity to ask questions.

Alternatively you can contact David Allingham on 6268 7021 or development@brighton.tas.gov.au.

Community Engagement Summary

Council undertook community consultation on the Draft South Brighton Master Plan in November 2021. The community participated in the engagement as follows:

• 17 submissions were received via an online form;
• 9 submissions were received via email;
• 14 people attended the “drop-in session”;
• 5 one-on-one meetings with Council staff.

The “South Brighton Master Plan – Community Engagement Summary” has been prepared to provide an overview of the feedback of the responses received through the engagement.

South Brighton Master Plan – Comunity Engagement Summary

The consultation has identified that there are several improvements, or items requiring further investigation, that could be made to the draft master plan. Twenty-two (22) actions have been generated from the feedback which Council and the project consultants are committed to addressing. This will likely result in an amended layout for the Master Plan.

Council intends to engage further with affected property owners as the master plan is refined.

Background Information

Brighton Council in partnership with the Department of Education engaged GHD to prepare a concept South Brighton Development Precinct Master Plan (the “Master Plan”).  Several background reports were prepared to inform the development of the Master Plan.

The 12 Southern Tasmanian Councils have identified the need to establish a Southern Tasmanian Regional Waste Authority (STRWA).

The purpose of the STRWA is to coordinate local government’s resource recovery and management of solid waste in the southern region for a more sustainable future.

The objectives of the STRWA are to:

1. Foster sustainable use of resources
2. Deliver efficient collection and reprocessing of resources
3. Support opportunities for the circular economy to reduce environmental impact and grow Tasmania’s economy
4. Provide a collective voice for member councils on the circular economy, resource recovery and waste management

Why do we need a new authority?

The current and emerging circumstances in the waste sector present a unique opportunity for the creation of a new body. These include the introduction of a state waste levy, Container Refund Scheme, and other waste related policies and programs at Federal, State, and Local government level.

This body will bring together the 12 southern councils to provide a direct link to the state government in relation to:

• collaborations and funding opportunities in the waste sector
• coordinated responses
• providing a formal structure to coordinate regional tenders and projects across the region
• improving the ability to secure funding through the waste levy

The first priority, and major basis for creating the authority, is the management of the recycling contract for the 12 southern councils.

All 12 councils have resolved to implement this authority. A set of draft rules has been developed to underpin the establishment and ongoing operation of the authority. These draft rules address issues such as purpose, functions and powers, membership, and board composition, appointment and terms.

Have your say

As part of the Notice of Intent process to create the authority, the community are invited to provide feedback. We encourage you to read the draft rules available in the Documents section.
