The Hobart City Deal   

The City deal is a 10 year partnership between the Clarence, Glenorchy, Hobart and Kingborough councils, and the Tasmanian and Australian Governments. The City Deal provides a framework to guide and encourage further investment across Greater Hobart embracing opportunities for growth and addressing key strategic and infrastructure challenges. The Hobart City Deal Implementation Plan is a rolling three year action plan to support the delivery of the commitments identified in the Hobart City Deal.

What does the City Deal mean for Clarence?

Clarence City Council continues to advocate for the Derwent Ferry Expansion following the success of the Bellerive Ferry Service, focusing on a site at Lindisfarne.

Other projects of significance for Clarence are the upgrades to the Tasman Bridge and the Rokeby Road realignment which council will continue to advocate for under the City Deal.

We are also promoting the Greater Hobart Digital Twin project and the Greater Hobart Smart Precincts Strategy, initiatives that will support the digital transformation of Greater Hobart.

The Greater Hobart Strategic Partnership

The Greater Hobart Strategic Partnership is a collaboration between the Clarence, Glenorchy, Hobart and Kingborough councils to implement the Greater Hobart Act 2019 Work Plan and to deliver the Hobart City Deal projects.

The Mayors and General Managers of the Greater Hobart Councils are the Steering Committee for this Partnership and provide high-level strategic oversight.

Greater Hobart is already home to around 199 000 people and is expected to reach 227 000 residents by 2040. Integrated planning and development is vital to guide development and planning across Greater Hobart for the next 30 years, and to ensure it grows to be a thriving and inspiring place to live.

The Greater Hobart Strategic Partnership also collaborates to strategically advocate for the residents of Greater Hobart as it changes and grows.

Greater Hobart Committee

The Greater Hobart Committee is made up of elected members from the four Greater Hobart Councils (Clarence, Hobart, Glenorchy and Kingborough) and the Tasmanian Government to work collaboratively on strategic land use and infrastructure planning. 

Under the Greater Hobart Act 2019, the Greater Hobart Committee has developed a 30 Year Greater Hobart Plan to guide the development of transport, housing and employment centres and how they relate to each other long term and the growth of the Greater Hobart area.
