At its meeting on 15 April 2019, the Council considered a report on the outcomes of the meeting with the Minister and agreed to work with the State Government to develop a Precinct Plan to guide future development and provision of public infrastructure in central Hobart.

On 6 May 2019, Council reaffirmed its decision to work with the State Government to develop a Precinct Plan for Central Hobart and also resolved not to initiate the planning scheme amendments provided in Attachment B to item 8.2 of the Open City Planning Committee agenda of 10 December 2018 to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 and the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997.
