City Economy Strategy

The City Economy Strategy was developed to identify, promote and capitalise on the 'Hobart Difference'. The aim is to benefit all those who live, work and do business in the city.

This strategy sets the vision and priorities that will position Hobart for future social and economic prosperity. This will enable our businesses and resident communities to respond to and thrive from the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
