Car Parking on Franklin WharfThe Authority and Tasports worked closely together throughout 2005 to bring about changes to improve Franklin Wharf. This involved removing some of the long term parking from Franklin Wharf making the water’s edge more accessible to the public. The changes, which came into effect in December 2005, have created a clear pedestrian route between Hunter Street and Salamanca Place and reduced the visual impact of parked cars on Franklin Wharf.

Entry to Sullivans CoveThe Authority has worked closely with Hobart City Council and the Department of Energy, Infrastructure and Resources and the RSL to explore ways to improve the entry to Sullivans Cove via the Tasman Highway. As part of the project, students from the University of Sydney’s Post-Graduate Urban Design Program were asked to generate design ideas and principles to improve this area. A public exhibition of this work was held at the Authority offices between December 2006 and February 2007. Read more about this project...

It can encourage activity and improve legibility. To understand what is possible on the Hobart waterfront, the Sullivans Cove Waterfront Authority commissioned Heffernan Button Voss Architects to propose new lighting concepts for the area. In their report, the consultants identify seven key spatial types:
For each type, they propose lighting principles and conceptual strategies. Complementing their ideas are lighting precedents from other towns and cities that are applicable to Sullivans Cove. This report has been forwarded to Aurora, Tasports and the Hobart City Council for their consideration. The full report is available below to download, as well as a one-page information sheet. Two versions of the report are available. The high resolution A3 version provides greater image quality, while the low resolution A4 version is more suitable for slower connection speeds.
Activity Outlook 2006-2014 + BeyondThe Activity Outlook detailed the direction and intentions of the Authority when it was published in 2006. The Activity Outlook affirms that Sullivans Cove is a world-class location with a multitude of authentic uses and activities. This authenticity forms a vital part of Tasmania’s identity as we promote our attractions to the world, and protecting this authenticity is a high priority.
