Augusta Road and upper Elizabeth Street Better Streets – Online Information Session

The City of Hobart held an online information session on May 14, 2026, to discuss the Augusta Road and Upper Elizabeth Street Better Streets project. The meeting focused on the city's long-term strategic planning and recent infrastructure upgrades in the area, including retail precincts and parks, to improve accessibility, livability, and transport options. The project aims to balance the needs of various transport users by redesigning street space allocation, which currently favors motor vehicles, to better accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, and people with mobility challenges. The city is actively gathering community feedback through surveys, drop-in sessions, and stakeholder briefings to inform concept designs and future funding models. While no specific contract awards or procurement decisions were announced, the discussion highlighted the importance of integrating community input into upcoming capital improvement projects and infrastructure renewals.
