City mobility - moving together for the better
Consultation has concluded
At its November meeting, the Hobart City Council unanimously endorsed the Local Area Mobility Plan for both Northern Suburbs (Lenah Valley, New Town and Mount Stuart) and Battery Point. These plans were developed to inform how we can make it easy to move in and around each respective neighbourhood and were influence by public feedback on the draft plans.
A summary of the engagement results and the City's response can be found in the Engagement Summary Reports:
If you would like to read the report considered by Council, this can be found on the November Council Agenda (external link) (Item 10).
The actions identified in the both Local Area Mobility Plans will require further community consultation and detailed design prior to implementation. The City will need to identify and apply for suitable funding sources for each project.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on these projects.
Background
The City of Hobart is developing Local Area Mobility Plans (LAMPs) for two neighbourhoods (Northern Suburbs and Battery Point) to inform how we can make it easy for you to move in and around your neighbourhood.
What is a Local Area Mobility Plan?
Local Area Mobility Plans (LAMPs) aim to identify a network of connected, safe and convenient walking and cycling routes to and from common destinations within a neighbourhood. These destinations include schools, shopping precincts, major parks and recreation areas, and frequent bus stops.
The focus of the Local Area Mobility Plan will be different for each neighbourhood, to meet the unique community needs and future transport network requirements.
The Plans identify key streets to be included within the major works planning and delivery over the next 10 years.
They make suggestions for the types of investment that could better support walking and cycling in these streets such as:
- wider footpaths
- kerb ramps
- safer pedestrian crossings
- traffic calming measures
- street trees and seating
- bike lanes and connected cycleways
- on-street parking changes
The actions identified in the plans will require further planning, community consultation and detailed design before they can be implemented.
What am I being asked to give feedback on?
We have developed two draft Local Area Mobility Plans. One for Lenah Valley, New Town and Mount Stuart (Hobart LAMP: Northern Suburbs) and one for Battery Point (Hobart LAMP: Battery Point). A summary document that identifies that key priorities for each plan is also available in the documents section.
The draft plans are built on the information and ideas we have already received through previous community consultation. Based on our studies and this feedback we have identified the key actions and locations in the draft plan for each area. We want to hear from you whether we have got it right or if there are any important streets or actions you think we’ve missed.
