Soheil Mehrab-Khani illegally excavated, removed all vegetation and dumped landfill at 33 Marlborough Street, Sandy Bay about 4 years ago causing flooding to neighbouring properties and rock falls onto fences and attracting a lot of weeds that have since blown seeds over a large area.
This was on a large block where there was a condition that all except a small building envelope had to be left in native vegetation.
In July 2009 the Planning Tribunal upheld the Council claim that Khani was responsible and ordered him to re-vegetate and remove landfill.

This has still not been done. The Council claim to be talking to him. Khani given sworn evidence that there has not been any discussion with Council Officers.
With Council elections looming in October, Tony Jacobs has given notice that he intends to ask two questions at the Council meeting on 22 August at 5.00pm.
These questions relate to the lack of enforcement by Hobart City Council of the Tribunal order at Marborough Street as well as the condition of a Hotel owned by Mehrab-Khani called The Harrington 102, see picture below showing The Harrington 102 with Mehrab-Khani's red Mercedes outside.
Below is a copy of Tony's letter, the annexures he sent and the relevant Local Government Regulation allowing us to question Tasmanian Councils:
