THE TRAM THAT TRIED TO

GO TO CHURCH

In 1922 a tram was passing All Saints’

Anglican Church when the Sunday

evening service was just starting. Dramatically, it left the rails ‘and

dashed towards the entrance’, as a

Mercury reporter described it, amused

at the thought of a tram trying to go to church. Fortunately, it was going

slowly, no one was hurt, and it was

soon put back on the rails to continue

its legitimate journey. [Snippets from

the forthcoming ‘History of South

Hobart’ by Alison Alexander will be

published over the next few months to

whet your appetite for more!]

THANKS ROB!

The SHPA (Inc.) would like to ex-

press its most sincere gratitude to the

Hon. Rob Valentine, MLC for his generous and community-minded

offer to subsidise the printing of A

South Hobart Newsletter each month.

Rob’s commitment to community issues has been a long-term one. Our

longest serving Lord Mayor, he was,

for many years, the President of the

East New Town Progress Association before standing for Council as a

Community Association candidate

member of former Deputy Lord

Mayor, Pru Bonham’s team. (Pru, of course, is a well-respected South

Hobart resident.) The savings will

now enable the Association to redi-

rect these funds to further its aims and objectives, including funding for the

forthcoming book on the history of

South Hobart, which is in the process

of being written by noted author, Alison Alexander and is due for pub-

lication in 2015.

HERITAGE ACT 2013 Residents need to be aware that the

recently proclaimed Historic Cultural

Heritage Amendment Act, 2013 has

introduced amendments which have

the potential to water down the safe-

guards enshrined in the original 1995

Act. For example, HCC Development

Applications in The Mercury no longer indicate whether an application

is one which requires Heritage Tas-

mania approval, nor does the Coun-

cil’s website. Further, the Property Council talked the Upper House into

amending the HCHA Act, 2013 by

dropping the "prudent and economic"

clause with respect for applications for heritage demolitions. What effect

this change will have on heritage

protection in Tasmania is yet to be

determined.

RABBIT DEATHS

The Department of Primary Indus-

tries, Parks, Water and Environment

(DPIPWE) has responded to local residents’ concerns regarding rabbit

deaths in Wellesley Park. It would

appear that the myxomatosis virus is

respons ib l e f or t he dea ths . (Myxomatosis is endemic in the Tas-

manian rabbit population and lies

dormant until conditions are right for

it to emerge. This includes a drop in rabbit antibodies (resistance) over

several generations; it may take up to

ten years for the virus to re-emerge

after a previous outbreak.) Parents are reassured that myxomatosis cannot

be transferred to humans (e.g. by

children patting slow moving or obvi-

ously sick rabbits). Calici virus has not been released in the Park yet, and

DPIPWE and HCC will wait until

next week to see if enough rabbits

have survived to warrant calici re-

lease; the myxomatosis outbreak may

take care of growth of rabbit popula-

tion this summer. Several rabbit car-

casses have been discovered with wounds highly suggestive that they

have been the subject of dog attacks.

DPIPWE advises that it is a breach of

the Animal Welfare Act for dog own-ers to allow their dogs to, in any way,

chase, attack and/or kill rabbits. Un-

der this Act, it is illegal for one ani-mal to be allowed to chase and/or

attack and/or kill another animal.

der owners liable to prosecution

under the Dog Control & Animal

Welfare Acts. The Department ad-vises residents that, once a dog has

killed, instinct kicks in and owners

will find it very hard, and even im-

possible, to exert effective control over their dog/s. DPIPWE staff

advise that it is then a very small

step from killing a rabbit to killing a

bandicoot, possum, wallaby (all protected species) or attacking a

child. South Hobart dog owners

are strongly urged to make sure

their dogs are under effective con-trol at all times, especially when off-

leash.
