  • Item 6.1 Tasman Highway Memorial Bridge
    P IMAGE FROM DENTON CORKER MARSHALL CITY OF HOBART TASMAN HIGHWAY MEMORIAL BRIDGE RESULTS FROM STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS ON THE PRELIMINARY CONCEPT DESIGN JANUARY 2017 1 B ACKGROUND The Queens Domain Master Plan 2013, endorsed by Council, identified access to the park from the city, surrounding suburbs and foreshore as a major constraint to community use and enjoyment of the park. This impediment has occurred incrementally through the development of the current system of highways, which now surround the majority of the Domain. The Master Plan recommends the development of six new pedestrian/shared use bridges, including one linking the Cenotaph to the Soldiers Memorial Avenue on the Domain. The Australian Government announced on 19 April 2015 that it would provide $8 million from the ANZAC Centenary Public Fund for the development of a bridge to connect the Cenotaph/Regatta Grounds precinct with the rest of the Queens Domain. The State Government will provide funding to the Council for the project and will be reimbursed by the ANZAC Public Fund/Australian Government. The development of the bridge has been listed by the City of Hobart as an Inner City Action Project (ICAP). The City of Hobart Project Brief requires that the project must: link the Hobart War Memorial Cenotaph across the Tasman Highway to the Soldiers Memorial Avenue on the Queens Domain; link from the vicinity of the Doone Kennedy Hobart Aquatic Centre to ensure the recreational facilities within the Queens Domain are beneficially connected to each other and to the City via the proposed Brooker All Abilities Access Bridge connecting the Domain to the City at Bathurst Street; provide an all abilities connection for the proposed bridge to the Intercity Cycleway is essential; and provide an all abilities access way linking the existing Intercity Cycleway through to a point of connection near the Davey Street and Hunter Street intersection as requested by the Macquarie Point Development Corporation.

  • Soldiers Memorial Avenue Management Plan 2004
    Soldiers Memorial Avenue Management Plan Hobart City Council May 2004 Soldiers Memorial Avenue Management Plan Executive Summary Coverage This plan discusses the history and significance of the Avenue and the environment of which it is part. There is a description of the current status of the Avenue in terms of management approaches, the condition of the trees and its interpretation. A vision for the restoration of the Avenue is provided with a detailed discussion of actions to be taken to fully restore the Avenue. Discussion of the resources required and an action plan are also included. The overall objective is to restore the Avenue as a place of commemoration and as a significant part of the history of Hobart. Background The Soldiers Memorial Avenue was inaugurated on 3 August 1918 in a large public ceremony that attracted about a quarter of the population of the city. The Avenue was planned and prepared by the Hobart City Council, The New Town Council and the Returned Soldiers Association and involved thousands of volunteers. A second planting in February 1919 took the total number of trees to over 500. Within a few years, the Avenue had a permanent central pathway and was irrigated. A centre for family commemoration, the Avenue fell out of popular consciousness with the passing of those who knew the soldiers. The loss and later organised removal of many of the nameplates broke the crucial link between individual trees and the individual servicemen. The building of the Crossroads Oval destroyed over 80 trees and sites. A further 12 sites were lost due to roadwork at the southern end connected with the changed intersection of Davies Avenue with the Tasman Highway.
