As the HCC Transport Spokesperson, it’s important I recognise infrastructure that is not capable of supporting the transport needs of the community.

That’s why I’m asking council to write to the State advocating for a redesign of the Domain Hwy, Brooker Hwy interchange

This is my son Emerson taken a few days after he was born at Hobart Private Hospital. Today, we have learned that Healthscope are closing the doors to the next generation and will no longer offer maternity services.

#politas

This is sick 🤟

She shreds is all about supporting and encouraging women and girls to get together to skateboard. I’m a massive advocate for any organisation or facility that brings people together. That is what community is, and to a degree what life is all about.

Simple #politas

Thrilled to let #politas know the West Hobart Local Area Mobility Plan was endorsed by Council last night.

The proposed changes will bring our community closer. It will discourage people using the “rat run” & encourage walking or riding around our wonderful suburb more often in comfort & safety.

“It should not be easier to build forever Airbnbs than actual homes. The best way to correct this perverse imbalance is to relax planning controls on medium-density and infill residential developments.”

Well said!

Here’s some of my comments from last nights tricky planning decision as reported by Pulse Tasmania

Planning Directive 6 is a major thorn in this City’s side. Poorly drafted with almost no grounds to refuse a short stay application

#politas

I am appalled the planning scheme allows this to happen.

How can can this be considered a residential development and not a commercial hotel #politas ?

12 units, all for short stay accomodation.

Fix planning directive 6 NOW

Great to see those vibes of transparency that I instigated as one of my first moves in Council having the ripple effect in the sector I thought they would. Who’s next?

#politas

Surely Nipaluna/Hobart is one of the best places to live in the world. 😍

That’s a win #politas #lgtas

Great to see more quality proposals to fill our missing middle in @cityofhobarttas #politas

This is really quite a remarkable result, we hear that “no one wants bike lanes in Hobart” yet here we have a result showing almost half of those surveyed support the Collins Street Bike Lane Project.

Crack on then!

#politas

Headline figure 7,900 trips are made by bicycle in Greater Hobart every day.

#politas

Shout out to the folk placing illegal anti bike lane propaganda all over Collins street in time for the Christmas parade 🎄🎅

Very festive

#politas

Well I’ve made the jump and now operate no less than seven social media channels. It’s a bit nuts but I’m pleased to see so many familiar #politas identities have jumped over too.

Onwards!
