  • Wellington Park Social Values and Landscape Assessment Report
    Wellington Park Management Trust WELLINGTON PARK SOCIAL VALUES AND LANDSCAPE – AN ASSESSMENT Prepared by McConnell, A. March 2012 Wellington Park Management Trust, GPO Box 503, Hobart, Tasmania, 7001. Cover – main photo: Mountain Snow [source WPMT] inset photos: :R - Sleeping Beauty [source WPMT] L - Fred Lakin at Lakins Lair [photo: A. McConnell] Explanatory Note This report has been prepared by the Wellington Park Management Trust as part of a multi-stage assessment of the landscape values of Wellington Park. This assessment focuses on the social values of Wellington Park, in particular those which relate to landscape. The assessment is based on a ‘Community Values Survey’, undertaken in late 2010-early 2011 by means of a short questionnaire that the greater Hobart community generally was encouraged to complete. The geographic scope of the study was the whole of Wellington Park. The aim of this study is to understand to what extent, and in which ways, the community, in particular the Greater Hobart community, value Wellington Park. A core part of the assessment was to assess how the Wellington Park landscape is appreciated in order to contribute to an understanding of the full range of landscape values that are being assessed in the broader Wellington Park Landscape Assessment. Wellington Park has acknowledged important landscape values which have applied since the early days of European settlement of Hobart, yet these have not been previously assessed formally or in detail. The main aim of the overall Wellington Park Landscape Assessment therefore is to provide important landscape values information to assist in managing the Park to meet the objectives of the Wellington Park Management Plan.

  • 1.0 Introduction
    1.0 INTRODUCTION The Derwent estuary lies at the heart of the Hobart metropolitan area and is an asset of great natural beauty and diversity (Figure 1.1). It is an integral part of Tasmania’s cultural, economic and natural heritage. The estuary is an important and productive ecosystem and was once a major breeding ground for the southern right whale. Areas of wetlands, underwater grasses, tidal flats and rocky reefs support a wide range of species, including black swans, wading birds, penguins, dolphins, platypus, seadragons and the endangered spotted handfish. 13 State of the Derwent Estuary 2015 Figure 1.1 Derwent Estuary Program area SOUTHERN LOCATION MIDLANDS SOUTHERN MIDLANDS Brighton River BRIGHTON N Bridgewater SCALE 05 River Derwent Conservation Area kilometres Jordan Green Bridgewater Island Causeway Herdsmans Green Point Cove Nature Reserve Murphys M E E H A N Flat Goulds Boyer UPPER Lagoon ESTUARY Norske Skog New Paper Mill Norfolk SORELL Dogshear R A N G Windemere Pt Bay MIDDLE ESTUARY E Bowen Bridge DERWENT Elwick Risdon VALLEY Bay Cove East Risdon CLARENCE Prince of Wales GLENORCHY Bay Nature Reserve (CITY) (CITY) GLENORCHY Pasminco Hobart Smelter own GeilstonBay New T Lindisfarne Bay Cornelian Bay Bay Lindisfarne Tasman Bridge HOBART Bellerive MT Battery Point KangarooBay Howrah WELLINGTON Sullivans HOBART Cove Tranmere (CITY) Sandy Bay Rokeby Lauderdale Nutgrove Racecourse Flats Browns Taroona Droughty Pt RALPHS BAY LOWER ESTUARY DERWENT River Alum Mary Ann Cliffs Bay KINGBOROUGH Kingston Mortimer Opossum SOUTH AR Bay HUON Bay Blackmans VALLEY Bay Program Area RIVER Half M Boundary Moon Bay Local Government Area Boundary South Arm Seacroft HOBART NORTH Bay Local Government Tinderbox (CITY) Area Name WEST Cape Direction • Iron Pot BAY Tinderbox Marine Bruny Reserve Island STORM BAY State of the Derwent Estuary 2015 14 Approximately 210,000 people – 40% of Tasmania’s During the period from 2009 to 2014, the DEP’s partners and population – live around the estuary’s margins.
