North Hobart Neighbourhood Plan

The North Hobart Neighbourhood Plan is a 20-year plan that will guide the future growth and sustainable development of North Hobart. This includes how we protect the essence of North Hobart and enhance the area's key features.

In particular, the Plan identifies:

the best locations for new housing developments (infill and medium density)
opportunities for complimentary business and employment in the area
the best locations for new public open spaces, including parks
improvements to active transport routes, such as pathways and bike lanes.

The Hobart City Council endorsed the North Hobart Neighbourhood (Structure) Plan at the 26 May 2025 council meeting.

The North Hobart Neighbourhood Plan responds to and aligns with relevant strategic planning policy and plans, including the State Government's 30-Year Greater Hobart Plan. This plan identifies that new houses are best located in areas with high amenity and good services, such as childcare, schools, employment, and health services. It acknowledges that this should be done in a way that maintains the key attributes that make these areas liveable and attractive.
