It is the major access point to/from Tasmania’s highest volume passenger airport at Hobart International Airport. Commercial development at the Airport, together with continued growth in the adjacent Cambridge Industrial Estate will see traffic volumes through the Roundabout increase. The Roundabout is also a key intersection on the Sorell-Hobart passenger corridor, which connects growing residential areas in Sorell and the southern beaches to the Hobart CBD. The existing Roundabout is a five-leg roundabout with single entry, exit and circulation lanes on each leg. The western approach from Hobart is a two-lane dual-carriageway merging into one-lane at the junction; all other approaches to the Roundabout are single lane. The current operation of the roundabout is nearing capacity, with an assessment of future traffic volumes demonstrating a significant increase in the number of vehicles utilising the roundabout over the next 20 years in response to the demand drivers outlined above. The proposed upgrades will improve safety and efficiency by providing increased capacity to cater for higher forecast traffic volumes. The upgrades are small-scale, designed to cater for growth over the medium to long term at an acceptable level of service. Alternative options are significantly higher cost and not warranted at this stage. Is this a new submission? Yes Estimated cost of problems? The strategic framework and transport system problems to which this project responds are outlined in the Overview document and within this submission. Detailed information on project costs and benefits, to the extent that they can be quantified, is contained in the Stage 7 template.

The Domain Highway is a key urban freight and passenger connection in Greater Hobart. The Highway has two major high-volume interchanges with the Brooker Highway and Tasman Highway. The Domain Highway Interchange with the Brooker Highway is one of two key capacity bottlenecks on the Highway. This project will develop detailed design options at the Domain Highway Interchange.

  • 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.

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY The Committee has investigated the following proposal: - TASMAN HIGHWAY AT PARADISE GORGE – BLACK BRIDGE TO ORFORD and now has the honour to present the Report to Your Excellency in accordance with the Public Works Committee Act 1914. 1. INTRODUCTION This reference sought the approval of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works for selective improvements to the Tasman Highway at Paradise Gorge – Black Bridge to Orford. 1.1 BACKGROUND The section of Tasman Highway through Paradise Gorge is noted for its spectacular setting. The road is located immediately adjacent to and south of the Prosser River and retained by substantial dry stone walls on the river side with the dolerite faces of the Gorge alongside and above the road, opposite the river. The Highway is also noted for its narrow, winding alignment through the Gorge due to these same topographic constraints. As the Tasman Highway has been progressively upgraded over the past 20 years or so, improvement works in the Gorge area have been put aside in preference to other projects due to the significant construction issues posed by the topography and the high costs of widening or realignment.

  • MEDIA RELEASE Saturday, 30 January 2021
    MEDIA RELEASE Saturday, 30 January 2021 RACT member survey reveals Tassie’s worst roads RACT members are calling for major investments into Tasmania’s worst roads. RACT’s Chief Member Experience Officer, Stacey Pennicott, said 200,000 members were invited to have their say on Tasmania’s roads. “We asked our 200,000 members to tell us what roads weren’t up to scratch and the results were clear,” Ms Pennicott said. “The Tasman Highway is by far Tasmania’s worst road, according to our members with nearly 40 per cent of those responding saying it needs urgent upgrades. “The Tasman Highway runs for 410 kilometres between Launceston and Hobart, covering the north- east, east coast and Hobart’s eastern shore. As visitor numbers begin to pick up and as the population served by the Tasman continues to grow, this Highway is going to become more and more important. Unfortunately, it has not received anywhere near the investment required to keep up with demand. Ms Pennicott said that the Midland Highway was rated Tasmania’s second worst road, with a third of RACT members surveyed saying more needs to be done. “We have seen significant upgrades on the Midland Highway in recent years and the State and Federal Governments deserve credit for that. However, there is still a lot of work to be done to bring the full length of the Highway up to scratch. “Hobart’s Southern Outlet was ranked as Tasmania’s third worst road due to persistent problems with delays. We encourage the Government to get on with its plans to improve access by developing park and ride facilities in Kingston to take the pressure off and help avoid the daily bottlenecks at peak times.
