  • Hobart City Deal – Southern Projects Stage One Public Display Summary Report March 2021
    Hobart City Deal – Southern Projects Stage One Public Display Summary Report March 2021 About the project The Southern Projects are a suite of coordinated transport projects being delivered by the Tasmanian Government as part of the Greater Hobart Traffic Solution. The Southern Projects will improve transport options for Kingborough, meaning the range of people who have access to fast and frequent public transport to the Hobart city centre will increase; no longer limited to those within walking distance to the bus route. The Southern Projects are comprised of: Kingborough Park and Ride – creation of two new park and ride facilities in Kingborough at Huntingfield and Firthside. This includes additional and improved southern suburbs bus services and an extension of the existing bus network. Southern Outlet Transit Lane – development of a new transit lane on the Southern Outlet between Olinda Grove and Davey Street. Macquarie and Davey Streets Bus Priority – development of bus priority measures on Macquarie and Davey Streets to improve bus operations and traffic flow. Figure 1 - Map of the proposed Southern Projects Stage One Public Display Concept designs have been prepared for these projects and public display opportunities are taking place in two stages: • Stage one: Wednesday 18 November – Wednesday 2 December 2020 – Kingborough park and ride facilities and additional and improved southern suburbs bus services • Stage two: Early 2021– Southern Outlet Transit Lane and Macquarie and Davey Streets Bus Priority This Summary Report describes the process and outcomes for the stage one public display. Public display process We provided a variety of opportunities for stakeholder and community feedback as part of the stage one public display and consultation process.
