Hobart Transport Vision Hobart Transport Vision An integrated and efficient system for the movement of people around Greater Hobart Infrastructure Tasmania From the Minister Hobart is booming with strong jobs growth and population increasing in line with the greater economic activity. One of the consequences of this growth is pressure on our road network. The Hodgman Government is developing a comprehensive plan to manage Hobart’s traffic congestion in the short to medium term. This document – Hobart Transport Vision – takes a longer term view of how our transport network can be used to support this projected continued growth in jobs and population while enhancing the liveability of Australia’s most desirable capital city. This Hobart Transport Vision draws from the latest studies that tell us how we move around our city today and the investments we should consider to benefit future generations in an inevitably bigger city. The increasing attractiveness of Hobart to visitors from mainland or abroad has become obvious in recent years. Now the figures speak for themselves and the Government has a responsibility to plan for a bigger, brighter future for our capital and share that vision with its residents. I hope this Hobart Transport Vision continues to promote conversations about the future. I encourage you to consider the content of this document and discuss it with your friends, family and colleagues. Rene Hidding Minister for Infrastructure 2 Hobart Transport Vision Hobart Transport Vision 3 Hobart transport in context How do we respond?

Doing nothing is not an option, nor can we simply build our way out of the problem. Evidence has proven that more roads and wider roads result in more cars and worse congestion. Instead, we need to re-balance our network to provide more choice, greater equity and improved accessibility for all.

  • Nineteenth-Century Lunatic Asylums in South Australia and Tasmania (1830-1883)
    AUSTRALASIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 19,2001 Convicts and the Free: Nineteenth-century lunatic asylums in South Australia and Tasmania (1830-1883) SUSAN PIDDOCK While most ofus are familiar with the idea ofthe lunatic asylum, few people realise that lunatic asylums were intended to be curative places where the insane were return to sanity. In the early nineteenth century a new treatment regime that emphasised the moral management of the insane person in the appropriate environment became popular. This environment was to be provided in the new lunatic asylums being built. This article looks at what this moral environment was and then considers it in the context ofthe provisions made for the insane in two colonies: South Australia and Tasmania. These colonies had totally different backgrounds, one as a colony offree settlers and the other as a convict colony. The continuing use ofnineteenth-century lunatic asylums as modern mental hospitals means that alternative approaches to the traditional approaches ofarchaeology have to be considered, and this article discusses documentary archaeology as one possibility. INTRODUCTION and Australia. In this paper a part of this study is highlighted, that being the provision of lunatic asylums in two colonies of While lunacy and the lunatic asylum are often the subject of Australia: South Australia and Tasmania.

  • Black and White Children in Welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940
    ‘Such a Longing’ Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Naomi Parry PhD August 2007 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Parry First name: Naomi Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: History Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: ‘Such a longing’: Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Abstract 350 words maximum: When the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission tabled Bringing them home, its report into the separation of indigenous children from their families, it was criticised for failing to consider Indigenous child welfare within the context of contemporary standards. Non-Indigenous people who had experienced out-of-home care also questioned why their stories were not recognised. This thesis addresses those concerns, examining the origins and history of the welfare systems of NSW and Tasmania between 1880 and 1940. Tasmania, which had no specific policies on race or Indigenous children, provides fruitful ground for comparison with NSW, which had separate welfare systems for children defined as Indigenous and non-Indigenous. This thesis draws on the records of these systems to examine the gaps between ideology and policy and practice. The development of welfare systems was uneven, but there are clear trends. In the years 1880 to 1940 non-Indigenous welfare systems placed their faith in boarding-out (fostering) as the most humane method of caring for neglected and destitute children, although institutions and juvenile apprenticeship were never supplanted by fostering. Concepts of child welfare shifted from charity to welfare; that is, from simple removal to social interventions that would assist children's reform.

  • Hobart Traffic Origin-Destination Report (June 2017)
    Hobart Traffic Origin-Destination Report (June 2017) In May 2016, the Department of State Growth installed cameras at seven key locations around Hobart to create a cordon, allowing the majority of cars entering and exiting the city to be recorded during the observation period. For the purposes of the study, the wider Hobart area was split into four regions, being Hobart, North, South and East. The movements to and from these regions were captured using the cameras installed at the cordon points: namely the East being tracked at the Tasman Bridge, South at the Southern Outlet and Sandy Bay Road, and the North at the Brooker Highway, New Town Road, Augusta Road and Mount Stuart Road. The data collected therefore allowed the identification of the regional origin and destination of trips through inner Hobart. Morning Peak Destinations (7.30am to 9.30am) 1% East 5% 6% The results for morning peak car movements through inner Hobart was very clear that the vast majority of car trips from the East, South and North terminate in 9% Origin East inner Hobart. South 6% Origin South 8% Origin North There were much lower proportions of trips moving through inner Hobart to terminate in the East, South and North regions during the morning peak period, 13% North 12% with the North being the second most population 7% destination on average. 76% Hobart 77% 79% Afternoon Peak Origins (4.30pm to 6.30pm) 4% East 10% 11% The results for afternoon peak car movements through inner Hobart indicate that the vast majority of car trips to the East, South and North regions originated in 8% Destination East inner Hobart.

    The Gardens and Culture of Melbourne and Tasmania, Australia October 24 to November 8, 2016 Escorted by Peter Olin Melbourne sits on the Yarra River, around the shores of Port Phillip Bay. Lauded for its sense of style and elegance, Melbourne boasts glamorous festivals and events, Australia's best shopping, a lively pas- sion for eating and drinking, and a flourishing interest in the arts. Restored and preserved nineteenth- century architecture, built following the discovery of gold, provides a heady reminder of a prosperous age, while beautifully tended parks and gardens present a therapeutic respite from the pace of city life. Tasmania is an island of spectacular coastlines, tall forests, rugged highlands, sunny beaches and wild rivers. There are vibrant cities, sleepy country towns, and picturesque fishing villages. With four distinct seasons and a mild, cool climate, Tasmania is well-suited to gourmet food production. Almost half of Tasmania’s land mass is protected in World Heritage Areas, national parks, and marine and forest reserves. Tasmania's protected, natural environment and soft, southern light attract artists and crafts makers from around the world, generating a dynamic, creative artistic and cultural scene.

  • NOTES on the TASMANIAN "BLACK WAR" 1827 • 1830 [By J
    495 NOTES ON THE TASMANIAN "BLACK WAR" 1827 • 1830 [By J. C. H. GILL, B.A., LL.B.] (Read to a meeting of The Royal Historical Society of Queensland on 23 May 1968.) (AU Rights Reserved) The Tasmanian Aboriginal, in general, and my topic, in particular, have an extensive bibliography and much archival material is also avaUable in the State Archives of Tasmania and in the Mitchell and Dixson Collections in the PubUc Library of New South Wales. James Bonwick (in 1870), J. E. Calder (1875) and C. TumbuU (1948) aU wrote accounts of the Black War con­ jointly with an account of the extirpation of the Tasmanoids.* It is obvious that to cover the subject properly one would require 900 pages instead of the 9,000 words to which I am Umited. Furthermore, unlimited time to research amongst archival material would be needed and research of this nature has not been possible at all. However, before Bonwick's work in 1870 there had already been written a number of Histories of Tasmania, as you will note from my own bibliography. MelvUle and Bischoff are virtuaUy contemporary with the topic and West little more than twenty years after the event. With these as my principal sources for the events of 1827-1830 I have sought briefly to recapitulate the sad story from its sorry beginning to its tragic aftermath with some observations on possible causes and effects. AN ENIGMA The Tasmanian aborigines, like all extinct peoples, must remain perforce something of an enigma, despite the fact that the last of them died within living memory.
