Executive Summary 1.1 Planning approval is sought for Path Extension and Associated Works and Landscaping. Page: 1 of 23 1.2 More specifically the proposal involves the following: The Hobart Rivulet Path currently extends west from the carpark at 40­44 Molle Street through Council­owned parkland known as 46­48 Molle Street towards the eastern end of McKellar Street. In the vicinity of the eastern end of McKellar Street the path splits ­ a short, relatively steep section of path rises to meet the end of McKellar Street, providing access through to South Hobart, while a flat, dead­end section of path leads to the Korean Grove Memorial. Currently, people visiting the Korean Grove Memorial but wanting to reach South Hobart need to retrace their steps along the dead­end section of path before rejoining the main Rivulet Path which turns back along McKellar Street.

The proposal is to extend the Hobart Rivulet Path through 18 McKellar Street to Gore Street, so that a continuous pedestrian and bicycle link is formed.
