Changes in Residential Tenancy Laws in Hobart, Tasmania during COVID-19

Hello friends, my name is Sasha! I am a long time resident of Tasmania and for the past one year living in Hobart. I came to the city in search of a better job and connectivity but now I am planning to move. At present I am living in a rented property and for the last few months have been getting an extension on my lease due to the COVID-19 pandemic. My landlord and his wife are sweet and respectable which is why they understood my problem as a tenant and have allowed me to stay in the property a little longer than my original lease. I will be moving out of their real estate soon and will always be grateful. However, not everyone is lucky like me or experienced. Many are impacted by the pandemic and stressed about eviction, rent increase and much more. But! I urge you all stuck in situations like this to be brave.  The government has heard the plight of tenants and made necessary changes to protect us from evictions. Want to know about the amendments? Here is a wonderful article by professionals outlining the changes in residential tenancy laws in Hobart, Tasmania during COVID-19. In addition, you will find excellent tips by professional end of lease cleaners in Hobart on how to plan for the move and get your bond back during the pandemic. To know more, please read the article now and gain valuable insights.

Kangaroo Bay waterfront land for hotel to be bought back by Clarence Council from developer Chambroad

 After six years of design revisions, community campaigns and false starts, the Clarence City Council is back to square one at Kangaroo Bay after voting to buy back the land from developers Chambroad.  Chambroad planned to build a 150-room hotel at the site, with four levels, each styled according to a different theme.  But at a council meeting on Monday, the council ruled Chambroad had been given "ample time and a number of extensions to proceed with the development and … time was up". Mayor Brendan Blomeley told ABC Radio Hobart that the sale and development agreement with Chambroad meant the council could legally buy the land back for the sale price of $2.44 million plus GST and stamp duty.

 A new policy to proactively declare councillors' potential conflicts of interests before they arise is set to be voted on at a Hobart City Council meeting this evening. If passed, it will bring the council in line with other capital city councils around Australia.  Under the new policy, how many properties councillors own, which companies they hold shares in, and major income sources could all become publicly available from April.

Fears drought could follow floods as BOM forecasts chance of El Niño arriving off back of La Niña

Image
 Farmers across Australia are anxiously watching long-term climate forecasts, with fears a hot and dry El Niño system could back up the current flood-inducing La Niña.     The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has advised that 40 per cent of past La Niña events have switched to El Niño events in the same year that a La Niña has ended. This year's La Niña is expected to recede by autumn. The last El Niño resulted in a record-breaking drought from 2017 to 2020, and that has farmers worried. "I don't want to think about El Niño or another drought," Moree grain and beef producer Oscar Pearce said.
