Queens Domain Master Plan

Queens Domain

The Queens Domain is one of Hobart's pre-eminent open spaces with claims to being the City's premier urban park. Incorporating over 230 hectares of bushland and riverside setting, the Domain hosts features, attractions and facilities that have a wide range of values to the nation, Tasmania and local residents.

Past development and management has largely focused on natural and cultural values conservation. Lacking a 'spatial' plan to guide physical improvements to the place, the Domain has become 'many places' rather than one. Importantly despite much good work, long-held concerns about presentation and appearance, access, circulation, use, safety and activity remain unresolved.

This Master Plan, is the first of its kind for the Domain. It provides guidance about how to:

  • create distinct high quality settings within the rich landscape of the site
  • unify a diverse history of singular developments
  • make the Domain accessible in ways that have not been realised to date

All within the context of a respect for its natural and cultural values.
