Public Notice: Greater Hobart Infrastructure and Maintenance Roundup

Official Public Notice: City Operations and Traffic Disruptions

This roundup provides a summary of active official notices, public works, and service announcements from the City of Hobart and surrounding local government areas for Monday, 6 April 2026. Residents and commuters are advised to plan accordingly for scheduled maintenance and long-term infrastructure projects currently in progress.

Major Utilities: Selfs Point Sewer Transformation

The TasWater Selfs Point Sewer Transformation project continues its critical construction phase this week. As part of the installation of the new sewer pipeline, McVilly Drive remains closed to all vehicular traffic between Davies Avenue and the Tasman Highway interchange. This closure is necessary to facilitate the connection of the bioreactor membrane tank system and is expected to remain in place through Friday, 10 April 2026. Pedestrians and cyclists are encouraged to follow detour signage around the Queens Domain and Cornelian Bay areas to ensure safety during heavy machinery operation.

Road Closures and Traffic Impacts

• Rosny Esplanade, Rosny: Stage 01 and 02 of the Rosny Esplanade reconstruction are currently active. A 24/7 road closure is in effect between Kellatie Road and Ninda Street. Metro Tasmania has confirmed that bus stops within this zone will not be serviced. Local residents should utilize the temporary bus stops established at the intersection of Kellatie Road until this phase concludes on 30 April.
• Mount Hull Road, Collinsvale: The Glenorchy City Council is conducting road safety improvements on Mount Hull Road. Motorists should anticipate partial road closures and delays between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm. Traffic management is on-site to assist residents; these works are scheduled for completion by 20 April.
• Tasman Bridge Pathway Connections: Following the commencement of the Eastern Shore pathway upgrades earlier this year, final works on the bridge connections are underway. Reduced speed limits remain in force for motorists crossing the Tasman Bridge to ensure the safety of crews working on the new 3-metre-high safety barriers.

Parks and Public Facilities

Construction of the new public toilet facility at Poimena Reserve in Austins Ferry continues. Temporary fencing has been installed around the work area to protect reserve users. While the majority of the park remains open, access to certain walking paths near the construction site may be restricted until the project reaches its projected completion in June 2026. Additionally, the City of Hobart continues to monitor the health of the giant sequoias in St David’s Park; visitors are asked to remain behind the established barriers to protect the root systems of these heritage trees.

Strategic Community Announcements

The City of Hobart has officially transitioned to the 'City for All' Action Plan 2026-2029. This consolidated framework now governs all community inclusion programs, including youth services, multicultural support, and housing initiatives.
