The City of Hobart is embarking on stage two of storm recovery works in our bushland reserves after the floods that occurred in Hobart over 10 - 11 May 2018.
The City's stage one response focused on damage repairs critical to human safety and essential services and included major works to rebuild a stone bridge on the North-South mountain bike track damaged by the floods.
Stage two recovery works will include repairing walking tracks in nine of our bushland reserves, including in Wellington Park, Queens Domain, Knocklofty and Waterworks reserves.
The works also include major repairs to fire trails and pedestrian bridges. Specific project information including trail closures and updates will be reflected on this page as works progress.
The recovery works are being jointly funded by the City of Hobart and the Australian and Tasmanian governments' Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements.
