Greg Summers (of the monthly garden notes)
will be there promoting veggie gardening. E-bike enthusiasts from
WHEN will answer all your questions about how e-bikes and how useful they are for flattening the hills. We'll be giving away the last
of our Walking West Hobart maps.
Elizabeth Lelong of Eve's Garden will
have some plants for sale.
There will be a children's play space, music,
food, book and clothing exchanges and general neighbourliness.
This Saturday, 1 - 4 pm, corner of Hill and Pine Streets, between the pharmacy and the cafe. Bring some surplus seeds or produce to share, or just come!

You
may be concerned about the proposal to build a multi-storey hotel at 234-250
Elizabeth St in North Hobart. It will dramatically change the skyline
and ambience of that precinct. If you want to make a submission opposing
the development application go to this site Click here to have your say!
At its proposed 50 metres, it is more than five times the height of surrounding buildings.
These two towers would set a dangerous precedent if built, encouraging tall buildings outside the CBD proper where they are currently concentrated. It would transform one of Hobart's heritage streets into the beginnings of a Gold Coast boulevard.
Is this the future you want for Hobart? Make a submission to the Hobart City Council now and help save Hobart from these ugly towers!

The
permitted height in this part of the Central Business Zone (Hobart
Interim Scheme 2015) is 11.5 metres (which equates to about 5 stories)!
The
planning scheme requires that buildings in this area should be
sensitive to the transition between the CBD and surrounding zones.These two towers would set a dangerous precedent if built, encouraging tall buildings outside the CBD proper where they are currently concentrated.

Here's another campaign item.
We've been contacted by CEDAMIA (Climate Emergency Declaration and Mobilisation in Action).
They think Tasmania could well be the first Australian state to ban all NEW fossil fuel extraction and infrastructure projects. We really don't need any! Recently Tasmania's electricity grid has been meeting demand with 100% renewable electricity, so we are already leading the way. Even if some gas-fired generation is occasionally needed, there is certainly no need for NEW fossil fuel projects in Tassie. Banning new fossil fuel projects would be a relatively easy thing for Tasmania to do and it would set a wonderful example for other states and territories to emulate.
You might like to take a look at CEDAMIA's website and perhaps promote their Tas No More Bad Investments (NMBI) petition in some way.
