Slate Roofing in Battery Point
City of Hobart publishes history on Battery Point, and says that if a property is heritage listed or in a Heritage Precinct you will usually need planning approval for any development of it. This is the thinnest of the three area pages: the City's pages read for this site name Battery Point only as a subject of its publications.

Slate Roofing around Battery Point
The City's heritage page says: "These publications provide history on Battery Point, Alexandra Battery, West Hobart, the Lady Franklin Museum and many more interesting places." It is a statement about publications, not about roofs, precincts or any property. It does not say that any particular house is inside the precinct or has a slate roof.
If a house here is being re-roofed, the City's history on the place is a reasonable thing to read first, and the City is the one to ask whether the property is heritage listed or in a precinct.
Permits and City of Hobart rules
Whether a roof job here needs planning approval is for City of Hobart to confirm: it says you will usually need approval for development of a heritage listed property or one in a Heritage Precinct, and that some maintenance is exempt.
