Elizabeth Mall vehicle access
The mall is open to delivery, service and removal vehicles between 7am and 8.30am Monday to Friday only (no permit is required during those hours). The bollards that prevent vehicular access are opened and closed by a City of Hobart officer. Access is one way, with drivers required to enter the Elizabeth Mall from Liverpool Street and exit to Collins Street.
Customers and trades people requiring access to the mall outside of these hours for shopfitting, emergency repairs and other building works will need to apply for a permit.
When your permit application is approved, you may also be provided with a key to allow independent access through the mall bollards. In this case you would need to pay a key deposit of $550 (inclusive of GST. Note that GST only applies on forfeiture of deposit).
If the works being undertaken in the Elizabeth Mall involve the setting up of infrastructure or undertaking work in the Mall itself, you will likely also be required to obtain a permit to occupy or carry out the works.
Depending on the work being carried out, payment of an infrastructure bond may also be required as a condition of the permit.
