Construction management plans
We are committed to ensuring construction works are undertaken with minimal impact and disruption to the surrounding community.
To minimise disruption to the local community, we may require the submission of a Construction Management Plan (CMP) before works can commence. Some areas that may need to be addressed in a CMP include:
- public safety, amenity and site security
- construction hours
- noise control
- air and dust management
- waste management
- traffic management.
The aim of a CMP is to document the agreed construction approach on an approved development.
How do I know if a CMP is required?
If a CMP is required, it will be included as a condition in the planning permit. The condition will specify which issues the CMP is required to address.
How do I get a CMP approved?
Most CMPs will need to be submitted and approved. To do so, please follow the process on the condition endorsement page.
What happens if work commences without the required CMP in place?
Under the provisions of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993, a breach of a planning permit condition can result in the City of Hobart taking enforcement action, including issuing a fine through an infringement notice. It is therefore important that you comply with a requirement to submit a CMP if required to do so by a planning permit condition.
What are the restrictions on operating hours?
The Environmental Management and Pollution Control (Noise) Regulations 2016 restricts certain activities to certain times, depending on the day of the week. This includes operating mobile machinery, a forklift truck and portable equipment. These restrictions apply in addition to any conditions limiting operating hours in a planning permit.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with the prohibited hours of equipment use to ensure that you are not in breach of those Regulations and committing an offence.
Other approvals
In addition to a CMP, you may need other development permits and approvals.
