We want to understand what the community most values about the park.
Help us develop a vision for Our Mountain's Future
kunanyi/Mount Wellington is a popular and beloved landmark for both Tasmanians and visitors. Wellington Park, where it's located, offers great recreational, cultural, and environmental benefits.
However, the park's popularity has raised concerns about funding, amenities, environmental and cultural issues, and infrastructure, including access. The Tasmanian Government knows there are challenges with the mountain and the park and wants to understand what needs to change to make Tasmania's vision for the mountain a reality.
We want to hear from everyone in the community as we plan for Our Mountain's Future.
What we hear in phase one will inform the vision for Our Mountain’s Future.
We will then work on how best to achieve that vision.
The first step as we develop a plan for Our Mountain’s Future is to understand the community’s vision for the future of the park. Later phases will focus on how to deliver that vision.
We acknowledge that the park is subject to the Wellington Park Management Plan and that extensive analysis has been done previously by the Trust and others. We will incorporate existing work into this review wherever possible as we develop a vision with a longer-term focus.
To do this, we want to hear from all Tasmanians.
We have set out the following three themes to help guide the conversation:
-
-
User experience is about how the community accesses and interacts with the park.
-
Administration considers land management, ownership, planning and funding.
Where is Wellington Park?
From kunanyi/Mount Wellington near Hobart, Wellington Park reaches north towards Glenorchy and Collinsvale, south towards Longley and Crabtree, and nearly 30km to the west. It is owned by several public and private bodies and is managed by the Wellington Park Management Trust under special legislation.
