Email my Councilors

I recently, (1/7/26) wrote an email to all twelve Hobart City Councilors.  Below I have rewritten the email I sent, and the replies I received. I have not altered or changed the emails in any way, except Ryan included the Queens Domain Masterplan.

Eight councilors did not reply.

 

Dear councilor,

In November 2025 I wrote to our Lord Mayor asking for an overpass across the Brooker at Clearys Gate.

I received an answer. The email said: The HCC has spent all available money on building a new carpark and pizza oven on the Domain.  At Legacy Park.

Is this still the attitude of HCC? Be thankful and grateful. Cars take preference over people who prefer to be fit and healthy by walking to and across the Domain.  

I suggest the HCC should work to make Hobart a better place for the community. 

The Queens Domain is home to a multitude of local sporting facilities; indigenous native bush which has changed little for thousands of years; wallabies, bandicoots, possums, native birds and indigenous plants.  No snakes.

An overpass would make the people of New Town physically, socially and emotionally healthier. That is one of the aims of our councillors.

Please suggest a way that an overpass across the Brooker can be built.

Go well, Alan

 

Dear Alan

I can certainly see what I can find out.  Its not a bad idea - what I have to find out is - is it on the list of infrastructure requests.

Regards

Alderman Louise Bloomfield

 

Hi Allan 

Surprisingly last month in a planning meeting I reminded the committee about a proposal I put forward many years ago when we were considering an up grade of the North Hobart oval.

I put forward a walkway from the domain area into the north Hobart oval.

Cheers Marti 

 

Hi Alan,

Yes I have a close friend who has been pushing for this for years too. 

I think there is opportunity associated with councils advocacy upgrading the domain highway interchange. 

It is listed on page 49 of the Queens Domain Masterplan which does give it at strategic backing. 

Thanks for raising this issue with me, I’ll keep it front of mind as we have a few things happening both on the Domain, the North Hobart Neighbourhood plan and the councils position on the domain highway interchange.

Kind regards

Cr Ryan Posselt

City of Hobart 

 

 

Thank you, Alan.

I agree entirely.
