The Southern Tasmanian Councils Authority (STCA) has ramped up its campaign for the AusLink Network in Tasmania to be extended to include the Brooker Highway into Hobart and the Tasman Highway to the Hobart International Airport.
In releasing its submission on the Commonwealth Government’s draft AusLink Tasmanian Corridor Strategy, Chair of the STCA, and Lord Mayor of Hobart, Ald Rob Valentine, was today joined by the Mayor of Clarence, Ald Jock Campbell and the Mayor of Glenorchy, Ald Adriana Taylor, to highlight the importance of this issue to the whole Southern Tasmania region.
Ald Valentine said the STCA submission emphasises the significant strategic importance of the Brooker and Tasman Highways to Tasmania.
‘The Brooker and Tasman Highways are the busiest roads in Tasmania and are expected to remain that way for at least the next twenty-five years,’ Ald Valentine said.
The STCA, at its Board meeting on the June 28 2007, approved the 2007/2008 Annual Plan.
The Annual Plan, based on the STCA’s Strategic Plan, is developed each year to guide the activities of STCA staff.
Some of the key features of the plan are:
- Continuing to lobby for the Brighton by-pass, Bridgewater Bridge redevelopment and extension of the Auslink National Land Transport Network to include the Brooker Highway to the City and the Tasman Highway to the Airport.
- Ongoing implementation of the State Government funded Southern Area Task-force.
- Ongoing implementation of the Federally funded Southern Tasmanian Weeds Strategy
- Continuing to seek appropriate outcomes to the State Governments Water and Waste Water review.
- Continuation of the STCA regional purchasing program
- Continuing to develop and implement the Southern Region Economic Development strategy
