City Planning Meeting - 24 June 2026

The City of Hobart Planning Committee convened on June 24, 2026, to discuss several planning applications and related issues. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the proposed opening of an XGolf store at 310 Argyle Street, with concerns raised by a local resident about the lack of on-site parking and the impact on surrounding residential parking. Despite these concerns, the committee voted to approve the application, acknowledging the need for better parking management in the area but supporting the adaptive reuse of the site to enhance local vibrancy. Additionally, the committee reviewed a development application for 65 Brisbane Street, approving an adjustment to add five new residential homes, which was welcomed as a positive contribution to housing supply in Hobart. The meeting also included routine approvals of delegated decisions and short stay accommodation reports, with unanimous support for the recommendations presented.
