  • Work Program 2020-23 1 Introduction
    Document title 1 Message The Greater Hobart Act 2019 commenced in December 2019 and was drafted collaboratively between the Tasmanian Government and the Clarence, Glenorchy, Hobart and Kingborough councils to create a governance framework to plan for the long term growth and development of Greater Hobart. The Greater Hobart area has been undergoing rapid change and growth. Strong population growth at a State level, but especially in Greater Hobart, has increased pressure on housing, infrastructure and services. The opportunity presented to us, is to work together under the mechanisms created by the Act to help ensure that the growth and development of our capital city is strategic, controlled and consistent across council boundaries. This Work Program is a requirement under the Act and is to be reviewed at regular intervals (every three years) to ensure it is appropriate and contemporary, so that together we have an agreed list of actions to help us achieve the Greater Hobart Objectives as set out in the Act. A considerable amount of energy, effort and investment is currently being directed to deliver actions under the Hobart City Deal from all three levels of government. In many ways, the intent of the Act and the City Deal are complementary, which is why there are close linkages between the two and why some of the City Deal actions will be delivered under the umbrella of the Greater Hobart Act. Our intent within this first Work Program is to support work already underway under the Hobart City Deal, as well as to develop an aspirational direction to guide our efforts over coming years.
