Following a comprehensive rejection of the cable car development on 21 grounds of planning and management non-compliance, the Mount Wellington Cableway Company appealed to the Resource Management and Planning Appeal Tribunal (RMPAT) now known as Tasmanian  Civil and Administrative Tribunal (TASCAT).

On 03/11/22 TASCAT ruled to uphold the City of Hobart’s decision to reject MWCC’s unwanted & inappropriate cable car proposal for kunanyi / Mt Wellington.

THANK YOU !

TASCAT’s 2022  decision to uphold the City of Hobart’s decision to reject the cable car proposal was a massive victory demonstrating the power of community & the importance of belief, persistence & fighting for what you believe in.

Now in 2024 the fight may not yet be over with Premier Jeremy Rockliff voicing his desire to approve the cable car, against the science, planning advice and clear opposition of Hobartians and the Aboriginal Community.  The State Government have released their Mountain Review for planning of the management of Wellington Park into the future.

The first step of the review is to understand the community’s vision for the future of the park through a survey. It is important the government gets as many responses as possible to this survey from people who know and care about the mountain – please complete the survey here by 4/12/24

WELLINGTON PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN REVIEW:

The Wellington Park Management Trust commenced a review of the Wellington Park Management Plan & members of the public were invited to make their comments in the first phase of the review which was addressing Park Values. This survey closed for comment 15/09/24

Further input into Management Zones & Specific Area Plans was planned to be undertaken in the near future with proposed completion of a draft management plan expected in 2025. The Wellington Park Management Plan Review procedure is currently being “recalibrated in light of the State Growth review of kunanyi / Mount Wellington announced in May 2024. Issues arising from overlapping public consultation periods are being resolved and an update will be provided shortly”. See https://mountainreview.tas.gov.au/?mc_cid=84d0e85557&mc_eid=a3d0a51f0e
