The City of Hobart is preparing a Local Area Mobility Plan for Mount Nelson. The plan focuses on creating a safer, more enjoyable environment for people to walk and ride. We aim to make it easier for children to get to school, residents to access local shops and public transport, exercise, socialise and reduce our carbon footprint.
What is a Local Area Mobility Plan?
Local Area Mobility Plans identify safe, connected and convenient walking and cycling routes to and from local destinations. This includes schools, shops, parks and recreation areas, and bus stops. The focus of a Local Area Mobility Plan is different for each neighbourhood, allowing it to meet that community's unique needs and future transport network requirements.
The mobility plan for Mount Nelson will identify projects and initiatives to be included within capital works planning for delivery over the next 10 years.
We are in the final stages of preparing the draft and will share it for your feedback in early December. There are two ways you can provide your feedback:
1. Online Survey
Please review the draft plan and share your feedback by completing our short online surveybefore 11 January 2026.
It's free to attend, but places are limited - so don't miss out.
** Why Your Participation Matters **
Your input influences where improvements are prioritised
Local residents know the streets best
Community feedback ensures projects address real needs
Round 1 Engagement - concluded
During the first round of engagement, community members were invited to provide feedback though:
1. Map Tool:
Local community was encouraged to provide feedback through an interactive map on what could be improved or what they particularly value. Considering their daily journeys - to work, school, shops, or recreation areas where they could place multiple pins to highlight different areas of concern or appreciation, split into four categories:
Crossing the street feels unsafe
Moving along the street feels unsafe
Place I like to walk/ride
Other (issue or idea) - any additional observations, suggestions, or concerns that don't fit the above categories
Check the inputs shared in the interactive map tool HERE
2. Workshop 1 - Thank you for your contributions!
Thank you to all community members who attended the workshop on 23 September 2025. We had 15 attendees who provided valuable insights.
We are in the process of preparing the draft Mt. Nelson LAMP strategy, which will reflect the valuable insights and feedback received throughout the consultation. Your input is greatly appreciated.
