  • Review of a Proposed Light Rail System in Hobart
    DecemberFinal advisory 2015 report January 2016 Review of a proposed light rail servicesystem in Hobart Document title 1 Context for this Review The development of a light rail service through Hobart's northern suburbs has attracted significant interest over recent years. A number of independent consultancies examining the economic viability of a light rail service, under a range of operational scenarios, have been undertaken in support of the concept. In 2014, freight rail services between Hobart and Brighton ceased, potentially opening up the existing rail corridor to other uses. The Tasmanian Government has requested Infrastructure Tasmania to review past analysis on the development of a light rail system in Hobart, and make recommendations on the future priority of this project, together with the future use of the rail corridor. In providing its recommendations, Infrastructure Tasmania has considered the full range of issues and opportunities influencing the development of a light rail service. Past evaluations of a light rail service have focused on the development of light rail from a public transport and funding perspective. The reports are comprehensive in their analysis of the associated project costs and benefits. Broader considerations, including the potential for light rail to be a catalyst for urban renewal; engagement with the private sector regarding investment interest; and implementation of planning and regulatory changes to support more complimentary land uses adjacent to the corridor, have been discussed but not investigated in any significant detail. Critical mass and scale have previously been highlighted as challenges to the financial viability of a light rail service. There has also been a sentiment among supporters that if the infrastructure is provided, benefits will flow.
