6 Washington Street, South Hobart

The Hobart City Council Planning Authority Committee has considered a development application for partial demolition, alterations, new front fencing and signage for 6 Washington Street, South Hobart. The vote was tied, meaning the application will now be delegated to officer level for a decision.

If approved, the proposal will replace the existing fence along the Wentworth Street frontage with a new entryway featuring signage upgraded boundary fencing and a covered pedestrian entrance. If approved, the redesign will create a more open and accessible space, incorporating bicycle parking and new signage.

Since the last meeting, 32 development applications delegated to council officers were also approved while 24 development applications are currently being advertised.

A reminder that the City has a planner on duty during office hours which members of the community can call through our Customer Services to check to see whether any development or work to a garden will require planning approval.
