KEY SOCIAL CONDITIONS

Thank you to everyone who has offered an idea, raised a concern or challenged an assumption. Consultation is useful when it makes a difference. What started with gathering all publicly recorded issues from over twenty-six years of debate since the 1990s, we engaged in over seven years of active consultation to curate the eight key conditions the Tasmanian community asked us of. These are as follows:

  1. No white elephant: i.e Fund the project privately and do not rely on a taxpayer bailout.

  2. Keep the road open: i.e. Do not require reduced or restricted access on the existing road corridor.

  3. No scar: i.e. Deliver an indistinguishable cableway corridor that requires little to no permanent clear-felling of vegetation.

  4. Co-exist: i.e. Do not reduce or restrict existing recreational use.

  5. Least visual impact: i.e Align the cableway corridor to minimise visual intrusion and quantity of pylons.

  6. Respect the skyline: i.e Provide a visually-unobtrusive pinnacle facility, when viewed from both the City of Hobart looking towards the mountain, and looking from the existing carpark at the Pinnacle.

  7. Convenient and Family Friendly: i.e Improve family friendly access and provide a base terminal with ease-of-access to and from the city, in particular the waterfront zone, including mixed-mode integration with existing transport options.

  8. Give Back: i.e Value-add to the ongoing management and preservation of Wellington Park.

MWCC are pleased to have included all of the above key social conditions into the fundamental building blocks of our proposal. These became values not just for our business model, but were carried through as challenges into the design brief for our entire team.

LATEST PUBLIC FEEDBACK

8,055 COMMUNITY RESPONSES:

A key step of Phase 4, MWCC voluntarily revealed the design detail of the Full Proposal on 4th August 2018.

Over 8,000 Tasmanians formally responded over the following 2 months till 30th September 2018 when we asked for critical design feedback on the released designs. Feedback was received over two months at our Public Display Centre at Brooke St Pier and via this website.

From all of us at MWCC, we are so grateful for your time, honesty and considered thoughts. Your input helped us improve the final detail which was formally lodged for council approval on the 12th June 2019.
