Parliament paves the way to greater collaboration between Hobart councils
16 May 2019
Today’s passing by the House of
Assembly of the Greater
Hobart Bill is an exciting step forward in
fostering greater
collaboration between urban councils.
The legislation will create a strategic path forward for the Greater
Hobart area and facilitate the implementation of the
Hobart City Deal and its many exciting components.
The Bill has been developed to provide a framework to support
collaborative decision making between the Clarence, Glenorchy, Hobart
and Kingborough councils and the
Tasmanian Government.
The Greater Hobart Bill will allow the Tasmanian Government and urban
councils to capitalise on the many exciting possibilities on the horizon
for our capital city, while also effectively managing and planning for
pressures our city faces as it grows.
The Government believes the Act will lead to better outcomes for
residents in Southern
Tasmania.
