    LCSC/GHT 7 Submission to the Legislative Council Select Committee on Greater Hobart Traffic Congestion N C K Evers Network September 2019 The N C K Evers Network, which comprises Bob Annells, Damian Bugg, Don Challen, Dan Norton, Tony Pedder, Greg Ray and Mike Vertigan, is a group of highly experienced specialists in government, policy development, strategy and corporate administration who live in Tasmania and have worked here at the highest level. 1 Background Hobart is currently enjoying an extended period of growth and development which, combined with positive business confidence and investment, holds promise for the future. Many describe it as a boom period. But more important is its prospective sustainability – and the signs are encouraging. There is a mood in the city that speaks of continuing prosperity. Every surge in growth and development is accompanied by challenge. The rising cost of houses, the availability of affordable rental properties, access to medical and hospital services, traffic congestion and the adequacy of available tourist accommodation are just some of the issues currently being experienced in Hobart. Some, such as the provision of more hotel beds for tourists, will be taken-up and resolved by private enterprise. An increase in the housing stock is a shared responsibility, with the Government needed to address the shortage of social housing. Others, however, are solely the responsibility of government to rectify, especially when it comes to basic infrastructure. The Legislative Council Select Committee on Greater Hobart Traffic Congestion is addressing an issue critical to Hobart’s future development. It is an issue that falls almost entirely to government to manage.

  • Media Release Wednesday, 12 May 2021 RACT Calls for Immediate
    Media release Wednesday, 12 May 2021 RACT calls for immediate action on road commitments The Federal Government must work with its local counterparts to ensure the latest cash splash for Tasmanian roads are delivered on time, the RACT says. The Federal Budget papers show that the Government will provide $322.6 million from 2021-22 for priority road projects in Tasmania. This includes $113.4 million for the ongoing Midland Highway upgrades, $80 million for the Bass Highway between Launceston and Devonport, $48 million for the Algona Road grade separation and Kingston Bypass duplication, $44 million for the Rokeby Road to South Arm Road upgrades and $13.2 million for the Huon Link Road. “While we welcome this road infrastructure funding, we’re concerned about the lack of clarity around what funding has been committed to allow for immediate action on key road projects,” RACT Chief Advocacy Officer Garry Bailey said. “This is particularly the case for the $80 million allocation to the Bass Highway.” He said the 2020-21 State Budget contained $147 million in co-funding over forward estimates to upgrade the Bass Highway between Deloraine and Marrawah, as part of a $200 million pledge from the State and Federal governments. This includes co-funding for the Wynyard to Marrawah Corridor ($100 million), Cooee to Wynyard ($50 million) and Deloraine to Devonport ($50 million). “It’s been confirmed that the Federal Government’s $80 million Bass Highway commitment will be for the Launceston to Devonport section, so there has clearly been an increase in cost for this corridor,” Mr Bailey said.

  • Federal Budget 2021/2220 21 Federal Budget 2021/22
    Federal Budget 2021/2220 21 Federal Budget 2021/22 A big spending budget that focuses on jobs and economic recovery The premise of the 2021/22 Federal Budget is about getting more people back into work and strengthening the Australian economy in response to the global challenges caused by Covid. There is more money for businesses, households and infrastructure. However, the success of the government’s economic recovery plan hinges on how effectively and quickly the new budget measures can create new jobs and assist industries that are reliant on having our international borders open. The 2021/22 Federal Budget seeks to achieve the government’s economic recovery goal by gifting a tax cut to low and middle-income earners, extending tax incentives for businesses, adding additional training and apprenticeship places and providing additional spending on infrastructure, aged care and the COVID vaccination program. • The Budget deficit of - $106.6 billion expected in 2021/22, down from -$161 billion in 2020/21. • Family Home Guarantee to help single parents purchase a property. • Extension of the New Home Guarantee • The increased contribution amount for the First Home Saver Scheme • An additional $15.2 billion in infrastructure spending • $7.8 billion in tax cuts with the extension of the Low and Middle Income Tax Offset What does it mean for Australia’s property markets? First home buyers and single parents are the big winners again in this year’s Federal Budget. The New Home Guarantee and First Home Super Saver Scheme provide a more accessible pathway for first home buyers to save for a deposit to purchase a home.

  • Media Release Monday, 10 May 2021 Clarity on Bass Highway Funding
    Media release Monday, 10 May 2021 Clarity on Bass Highway funding required The RACT has called for clarity on how $80 million in Federal Government funding will be spent on upgrades to the Bass Highway. The Federal Government has released details of road infrastructure spending in Tasmania ahead of tomorrow’s 2021-22 Budget. It includes $80 million towards a $100 million upgrade of the safety and freight efficiency of the Bass Highway under the existing Tasmanian Roads Package. In the 2020-21 State Budget, $147 million in co-funding was allocated over forward estimates to upgrade the Bass Highway between Deloraine and Marrawah, as part of a $200 million pledge from the State and Federal governments. This includes co-funding for the Wynyard to Marrawah Corridor ($100 million), Cooee to Wynyard ($50 million) and Deloraine to Devonport ($50 million). “While the $80 million commitment is welcome, the Federal Government needs to reveal when the funding will be spent and on which sections of the Bass Highway,” RACT Chief Advocacy Officer Garry Bailey said. “This money will greatly improve safety on the highway, but we need to know how it will be spent.” Mr Bailey added that all major parties committed to a 10-year plan for the Bass Highway during the recent State Election, which will help inform planning and spending on the highway. “It’s important that this plan addresses funding and gives Tasmanians a clear outline of upgrades. This will allow the state service and civil construction sector to plan for works on the Bass Highway. “The State Government must urgently examine and build the capacity, skills and resources of the state service and civil construction sector to ensure they can rollout these upgrades.” RACT also welcomed Federal funding for the Midland Highway, the Algona Road interchange and duplication of the Kingston Bypass, as well as the Rokeby Road to South Arm Road upgrades and Huon Link Road.
