Hobart to get a city MODEL!!!

[CULWULLA]

We were contacted today by a senior chief planner from Hobart City Council and he asked us about our city model concerning cost/materials how to data ect. He said Hobart is about to experience a boom and the council want to be prepared. Already there getting backlash about an approved 13storey hotel which will dominate Sullivans Cove.Having a city model will instantly show how developments compare to each other and show the general public new projects ectr.
Sounds like a novel idea!!
I think its going to be just the CBD which wouldnt include Wrest point ect.

Many Councils are going for 3D models instead of tradional physical models. I know the one we use at Mornington is fantastic, you can do shadows, change building heights up and down and stuff all in real time.

^ we also do 3d stuff with microstation.We do weekly shadow tests for planners which go into reports and L&E cases. but councillors always request sections of our physical model for meetings ect. They get the concept staright away with model.
Sartor was once shown a report on a new DA with a laptop with 3d state of art fly throughs ect but he couldnt understand size and surrounds and demanded part of the our city model in front of him ASAP! lol
he said nothing beats viewing a large scale physical model. I have to agree with him.
