Streets People Love Hobart - January 2025 Newsletter

The last two months have been insanely busy and productive for the team I joined to launch the Streets People Love Hobart campaign. We're rallying together the community and business support for Hobart's street improvement projects that make it easier for people to get around outside of a car and make our streets more enjoyable places to be.

Below is a summary of what we've been up to, written for a newsletter sent to our mailing list.


Thanks for joining us in creating a thriving and vibrant Hobart for everyone.

We hope you had a fantastic start to the year and are ready to join us for a year of place-making and community connection.

We’ve been quite busy since we kicked off last year and wanted to share these updates with you.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to making this possible.
