A fair amount of work has been com-

pleted on enhancing the beach fore-

shore itself and on the connecting

roads. Council is now developing the

remaining sections. Most of the financ-

ing for the work has been provided by

Council itself although it did receive

a recent grant from the state govern-

ment that has helped facilitate a small

part of the redevelopment.

Sports Precinct

About 40 years ago, Council pur-

chased a large property and subse-

quently built a sports centre on it. At

that time, it was a large investment

and a substantial amount of debt had

to be incurred for the acquisition of the

land. The sports centre proved to be

very popular with large numbers of lo-

cal residents using its facilities.

With a number of other stadiums be-

coming available in Hobart, the sports

centre’s popularity began to wane.
