4-10 St Johns Avenue, New Town  

The Hobart City Council Planning Authority Committee has approved a development application for partial demolition, alterations and signage for 4-10 St Johns Avenue, New Town.

The proposal includes the removal of two existing signs along the New Town Road frontage and the installation of a new double-sided sign displaying the club's name and information about barefoot bowls and bingo sessions. The sign would be attached to the existing fence facing New Town Road. The application also seeks retrospective approval for an inward-facing electronic scoreboard adjacent to the southern bowling green and proposes a new sign on the rear of the scoreboard facing New Town Road.

Officer level development applications approved between 14 September and 28 September 2026

Between Hobart City Council Planning Authority Committee meetings, the City's Planning Officers are busy reviewing a range of residential and commercial development applications for Hobart.

Since the last meeting, 18 development applications delegated to council officers were also approved while 17 development applications are currently being advertised.

A reminder that the Council 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.

Further information about the proposals can be found in the Planning Committee agenda here.
