We want to understand what the community most values about the park.
The consultation period for Our Mountain’s Future has closed.
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.
The consultation period for Our Mountain’s Future has now closed.
Public consultation on Our Mountain’s Future was open from 23 October to 4 December 2024.
We would like to thank everyone for participating and having a say. Further updates on the review will be provided on this website as progress is made.
What we heard in phase one will inform the vision for Our Mountain’s Future.
We are now working on how best to achieve that vision.
The first step as we develop a plan for Our Mountain’s Future was to understand the community’s vision for the future of the park. We are now beginning to focus on understanding what the community has told us, which will be used to inform actions and recommendations to deliver on 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.
We have set out the following three themes to help guide the review:
-
-
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.
