IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STATE POLICY ON WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT
An application for a permit for the use or development of land shall be accompanied by sufficient information to demonstrate that it will not result in the transport of sediments into surface waters such that environmental harm might be caused either during the carrying out of works, or the subsequent use of the land.
Council shall consider the information supplied with the application and determine whether,
1. a) the capability of the land is sufficient to support the use or development without giving rise to sediment transport and
b) if there is a risk of sediment transport into surface waters, the measures proposed to reduce such risk are adequate.
Council may impose conditions on any permit to minimise the potential for erosion or water quality degradation.
For the purpose of this clause,
“surface waters” means all waters on the land surface, including both fresh and marine waters e.g. streams, lakes, estuaries and coastal waters. (State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997)
“environmental harm” means any adverse effect on the environment (of whatever degree or duration) and includes an environmental nuisance. (Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994).

6.0 HERITAGE AREAS AND CHARACTER STATEMENTS FOR HERITAGE AREAS
WENVOE - HILLER STREET HERITAGE AREA
The Wenvoe - Hiller Street Heritage Area is the major surviving heritage housing area of Devonport and is of very high heritage significance. It is the largest Heritage Area in Devonport and comprises two attached historical areas, the former Wenvoe Estate and the extension of Wenvoe St to the south. Apart from Wenvoe St, which follows the alignment of Formby Road, the area is laid out in a tight grid pattern with narrow streets in an east-west and north-south orientation.
The Heritage Area contains a number of major houses, generally on larger lots, and some of the best examples of c1900 housing in Devonport. More importantly, there is an extremely high consistency in the housing with the large majority of buildings having heritage value, a smaller number of some value, and only a few sites that are non-compatible with the character of the Heritage Area.
The more substantial houses are located in the north-south streets of Hiller, Macfie and Wenvoe Streets, with more modest houses in the cross streets. The streets to the west of Hiller Street have smaller houses with generally narrower blocks.
The extent of the sub-division of this area is distinct with the south boundary of Henry Street and the north boundary at Steele Street clearly defining the housing of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. This contrasts to the streets directly to the south, which are of predominantly mid twentieth century development.
- Devonport and Environs Planning Scheme 1984 -
Page 151
Wenvoe Street is the main street through the area and it now terminates at the Devonport bypass. The street rises to the west from Steele Street through an industrial area with the first residential buildings near Turton Street. As the street steeply rises a group of very fine houses are located on the slopes with good views and aspect to the northeast. At the southern end of the street are a group of houses and cottages extending into Elizabeth Street, a number of which were relocated from Zeehan. The street contains a wide range of buildings of value and a number of major properties.
Macfie Street has also been impacted by industrial development at its northern end. As the street rises steeply heading west to Turton Street a group of interesting two storey timber buildings are located on the high side with an early house at No 27. The hill is topped by No 44, a substantial two storey brick house. It is distinctive, as it is the most imposing building in the area with extensive views to the river and Bass Strait. Another significant house is at No 47 again taking advantage of the extensive views.
Hiller Street is located on the ridge and is comparatively level. However houses on the eastern side are set down with the western houses set slightly above street level. The block between Steele and Turton Streets contains the finest group of buildings in the Heritage Area with examples of various styles and fine decorative treatments. This area forms the core of the Heritage Area.
As noted the streets oriented east-west generally have smaller scale buildings. Harold Street was a late subdivision from the lands around Pebble Lodge and contains a high consistency of buildings, a number of which are now altered and have non-characteristic fencing styles. While the street is wider than the other cross streets, the buildings are modest and representative of the wider development of early Devonport.
Archer Street contains several unusual and fine buildings that are Heritage Items from several periods and a good collection of contributory buildings. It is a narrower street that typifies the pattern of early sub-division and development of the ridge area.
- Devonport and Environs Planning Scheme 1984 -
Page 152
Turton Street has a very high consistency of contributory buildings that make up the basic housing stock of the area.
Henry Street is an example of a more modest sub-division with small lot sizes and good consistent housing stock. The corner of Henry and Hiller Street contains the only unit development in the area - this is excluded from the Heritage Area.
Smith St is the least coherent street containing a small number of contributory buildings. The other houses are however good examples of later development and provide a good setting for the more significant buildings.
The key characteristics of this Heritage Area are:
• its consistent building form and scale;
• the contrasts between larger properties in the north-south streets and the more regular rows of smaller houses in the east-west cross streets;
• the regular relationship of most houses to the street frontage; and
• the predominant late 19th C and early 20th C style of the buildings.

STEWART STREET HERITAGE AREA
Of particular value are the surviving fine residential houses and civic buildings in Stewart Street, these buildings demonstrate the earliest development of the city and their conservation as a group is of importance. The extensive use of timber in the residential development is a key theme that provides part of Devonport’s character and reflects the importance of timber getting in the early development of the area.

FORMBY ROAD HERITAGE AREA
The Formby Road Heritage Area is a linear collection of commercial and industrial buildings fronting Formby Road that originally fronted the docks. While the southern section of Formby Road has suffered from demolition and neglect, the blocks approaching the business centre retain a tightly integrated collection of buildings ranging from the 1880s to the 1960s with some of the finest examples of commercial building in Devonport.
The relationship of this group of buildings to the wharves, silos and sheds opposite is a striking reminder of the working port and the historical foundation of Devonport. The buildings, as a harmonious and continuous group, provide a gateway opportunity to the approach of Devonport.
This group of structures has potential to provide a striking and innovative precinct along the waterfront that extends and enhances the business district of Devonport. It the collection of buildings in a continuous streetscape that provides the major built significance to this streetscape.

VICTORIA PARADE HERITAGE AREA Victoria Parade is the most prestigious residential district in Devonport. The overall quality, design and setting of houses along the waterfront clearly demarks this group from all other housing areas in the City. While there are many individual fine houses and several small precincts of fine houses in Devonport, Victoria Parade historically and today provides a snapshot of the height of Devonport’s development and style. There are a number of exceptionally fine houses ranging from the 1880 period through to the post war period in the group and a high number of Heritage Items. Their good design, use of materials, fine settings and the overall harmony of the area distinguish the precinct.
A number of buildings have been altered, most are recoverable, but the overall integrity of the buildings is high.
The area has not suffered from extensive sub-division although several cluster housing developments have affected one or two properties. Of interest is the layer of development immediately behind Victoria Parade which while also good quality housing stock is not as distinguished as the houses fronting the water.
Also part of the Heritage Area is the waterfront reserve and park in which are located the Cenotaph and the archaeological sites of the former shipyards. The waterfront park provides a fine setting for the area.
The area contains a large number of heritage items, but it is also the whole setting; the gardens, the waterfront reserve and the general intactness that provides the heritage value of the area.

NICHOLLS STREET HERITAGE AREA
This heritage area abuts the back of the Victoria Parade precinct and extends into North Fenton Street. It contains a very good group of dwellings with several heritage items and a number of contributory buildings. There is a predominance of timber buildings and only one intrusive element seen in a more recent sub-division for cluster houses.
Of particular interest is the mix of housing styles from a group of larger houses in North Fenton Street sitting on a slight rise with a mix of smaller cottages and larger houses in Nichols Street.

NORTH FENTON/ARTHUR STREET HERITAGE AREA
This small Heritage Area is adjacent to the Nicholls Street Heritage Area but varies from it considerably in scale and form of housing. It is separated from the Nicholls St area by the railway line and the precinct of North Fenton, Arthur, Lower Madden and Montague Streets is an enclave of small-scale workers cottages centered on the very narrow Arthur Street. While narrow streets are seen in some parts of Devonport this group of cottages is unusual and appears to relate to the railway and showground adjacent.
The cottages are distinctive for their simplicity and scale that contrast with the established larger housing across the railway line.
There are only two Heritage items in the precinct. One is a former railway house on a corner lot immediately adjacent to the tracks, which is an excellent and rare example of railway building in Devonport. Most of the group are contributory buildings that complete the precinct. There are several intrusive cluster housing developments on the east side of North Fenton Street and a vacant lot at No 82.

RONALD STREET HERITAGE AREA
The Ronald Street heritage area contains a number of very fine residences that epitomise the development of Devonport around 1900 through to the 1920s with a number of 1960 period homes adding to the interest of the street. The street, with Steele Street, is located on a small rise above the flatter land towards the city centre providing views over the city and lower suburbs to the river and sea. The area was obviously developed because of its elevated status. The unifying feature is the quality of development along the spine of the ridge as seen in the location of the heritage items.
The area also demonstrates later patterns of sub-division with the early large lot boundaries clearly evident and sub-division to form Cocker Place in the 1950s and 1960s breaking the pattern of development and introducing two well designed post war houses into the group.
The street features mature and well-designed gardens, buildings oriented to the view and away from the street on the east side of the street and a well planted streetscape.
The houses in Best Street, while not of individual heritage value, are included in the heritage area as they are a very consistent group of later houses demonstrating a post world war two sub-division with well laid out gardens and grounds.

STEELE STREET HERITAGE AREA
This small area is located close to Wenvoe Street Heritage Area and in many respects is similar in character. The principal streetscape is Steele Street which contains a number of fine early residences; the whole street frontage comprising Heritage or Contributory Items. The area extends into Gunn Street, which also contains a fine group of buildings from a range of periods on its western side. Of particular interest is No 39 Gunn Street, a modernist house that is somewhat out of context but a fine example of its period. The area also includes Sumberg Street. This is an unpretentious streetscape with several good examples on the corners of Tasman and Symbister Streets and the balance of the street providing a typical intact early twentieth century development. While the balance of housing in this area is not highly distinctive, collectively it provides a very fine streetscape of consistent elements.

DAVID STREET HERITAGE AREA
This Heritage Area is based around five major houses located on the ridge overlooking East Devonport and across the river to Devonport. The development of East Devonport saw smaller modest housing developed along the waterfront (much now demolished with Port development and river widening) with more substantial housing on larger lots on the hillside and hilltop. The corner of David and Stephen Streets is the centre of this development and the top of the ridge.
The key properties are Cliffden (100 David St), Fairmount (104 David St), Mt Pleasant (107 David St) and 112 David St. They are amongst the finest houses in Devonport with Mt Pleasant being the most significant residence in Devonport. Despite subdivision of several of these key properties they retain their prominence and overall setting and are a key visual element in the landscape viewed from central Devonport. In particular Fairmount is a landmark building on the hillside. The area also contains a number of more modest but very good residential buildings that are identified as Heritage Items. The other buildings in the area provide a good contextual setting with the group on the corner of Tarleton St and Stephen Street being contributory buildings.
The streetscape of Stephen St is of particular value for its mix of small timber workers cottages and large established properties. This section of the street demonstrates graphically the range of housing developed in East Devonport and its historic status as a desirable place to live.
It is important for the retention of heritage significance in this area that any future infill or new development should be of appropriate scale and design so that it does not detract from the identified buildings and that new buildings should enhance the strong visual amenity of the area. It is also important that the larger sites not be sub-divided with the loss of mature and significant gardens. Where further development is possible, for example on the corner of David and Stephen Streets, strict controls on siting, massing, driveways and garages and streetscape issues should be provided to ensure that the infill building enhances the present very high visual value of the area.

THOMAS STREET HERITAGE AREA
Thomas Street Heritage Area includes the western side of Wright Street and parts of Church and Drew Streets. It contains a very fine collection of residential buildings that are grouped along and around Thomas and Wright Streets. The focus of the area is the park, St Paul’s Church and the Pioneers cemetery. The area contains the most intact surviving group of early buildings in East Devonport. It is of particular value as the whole streetscape of Thomas Street and the park enhances the Heritage Items that are located there. The consistent setting and form of the residential buildings with the strongly defined corners with commercial, civic and early, very significant, residential buildings gives the area a completeness and integrity not found elsewhere in East Devonport. The buildings also represent a range of building styles and periods from early development to the later more typical brick residence/shop on the corner of Wright and Thomas Streets.
The area is also of interest for the mix of residential and commercial buildings and the adaptation of residences to allow commercial use. Thomas Street falls to the river, running east west and provides a strong vista across the river to Devonport. The key features of this street are the park, the church and the residence on the corner of Thomas and Church Streets. The area is the only civic precinct in East Devonport and is the only location that has potential as a focus point for the area.
The two buildings in the Esplanade on the corner of Thomas Street are very significant early structures that typify the early development of East Devonport and with No 13, the former Torquay Post Office, form one of the best corner groups to survive.
Wright Street also contains a collection of fine houses. The group near the corner of Brooke Street, No’s 22, 26 and 32, are amongst the best examples of late Victorian timber residential building in Devonport. As a group on large original lots they make a high contribution to the area. No’s 64 and 66 are good representative examples of the later, more modest, housing that typifies development in the area. Wright Street is one of the main streets in East Devonport, extending the full length of East Devonport and is largely flat. While several early and significant buildings survive along its length this area contains the most contiguous grouping of significant housing.
- Devonport and Environs Planning Scheme 1984 -
Page 166
All of the other buildings provide a good context for the Heritage Area and there are no places of negative impact.
It is important for the retention of the heritage significance of the area for the existing buildings to be retained and owners encouraged to maintain and conserve their fabric.
Consideration should be given to establishing this area as the civic centre of East Devonport.

THE DON / LILLICO STRAIT HERITAGE AREA
Devonport contains fine rural landscape and farms. Of outstanding significance is the Don landscape and the hedgerows that define the rural landscape. The Don Heads are viewed from many parts of Devonport, from the highway both descending to Lillico Beach from the east and approaching Devonport from the west. It is also overviewed from parts of Devonport’s residential areas. It is a landmark landscape within the region.
The broad landscape of Devonport is marked by intense agricultural contrasts with treed valleys and hilltops and dramatic stands of Cupressus Macrocarpa and other hedgerow plantings marking boundaries and fields.
Perhaps the most significant industrial element of the city is the railway with its surviving infrastructure and adjacent commercial buildings. The tracks bisect the city and adjacent suburbs with a spectacular section of track work that crosses streets, winds along the coast and meets the Don Railway at the Don Heads in one of the very spectacular landscapes around the city.

OBJECTIVES PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
visual amenity
To minimise any detrimental impact upon the visual amenity of a locality by reducing prominence of telecommunications infrastructure.
The location of infrastructure is within existing utility corridors and sites and uses existing infrastructure, unless a need to do otherwise is demonstrated.
Aerial telecommunication lines or additional supporting structures are erected and operated in residential and commercial areas only where overhead cables operated by other utilities are in existence.
Best practice methods are used to reduce the visual impact of infrastructure or to conceal infrastructure with the surrounding natural or built environment.
Clearing for infrastructure corridors and facilities is minimised to limit visible prominence while responding to functional and safety requirements.
Infrastructure:
• avoids skyline positions (ie. where a structure would be seen in silhouette);
• crosses hills diagonal to the principal slope or crosses at the low point of a saddle between hills; or
• is located around the base of hills or along the edge of existing clearings
- Devonport and Environs Planning Scheme 1984 -
Page 173
unless a need to do otherwise is demonstrated.
Equipment housing and other visually intrusive infrastructure is screened or concealed from public areas.
The height of freestanding aerials, towers and masts is within the following limits:
• rural areas 60 metres
• industrial areas 45 metres
• commercial areas 40 metres
• residential areas 20 metres
Telecommunications infrastructure may only exceed specified height limits if:
• a pattern of infrastructure or vegetation above the specified height limit exists in a particular location; and
• it has no adverse impact on heritage or ecological values or visual amenity.
