Between 21 June 2023 - 23 July 2023, the City sought community and stakeholder feedback on the draft Waterworks Reserve Master Plan. Feedback we heard to this draft directly affected the final Waterworks Reserve Master Plan. A summary of the what we heard during this engagement period and how the Master Plan changed as a result can be found in the Engagement Summary Report.
At its April 2024 meeting, the Hobart City Council endorsed the Waterworks Reserve Master Plan. If you would like to read the report considered by Council, this can be found on the April Council Agenda (item 13).
Thank you to everyone who took the time to give their feedback.
Background
The draft Waterworks Reserve Master Plan outlines City of Hobart plans to improve Waterworks Reserve and follows consultation that found our community values the reserve as a place to gather, to socialise and celebrate important events, take part in outdoor physical activity and learn about the natural environment and history.
Waterworks Reserve has fantastic views across water to the forested foothills of kunanyi/Mt Wellington and is part of Tasmania’s oldest functioning drinking water supply system. It is popular as a picnic spot, and for bird watching, hiking and trail running, but its aging facilities have not kept pace with the reserve’s popularity as a visitor destination.
