Glenorchy Council

Glenorchy City Council extends from the New Town Rivulet in the south (on the boundary with Hobart City Council) and extends north through residential and industrial areas to Granton, near the Bridgewater Bridge. 

​

Consultation is underway in January 2025 on the Draft Glenorchy Cycling Strategy. Review the plan, fill in the survey or provide feedback on the interactive map.

​​

Council did a Paths, Tracks and Trails Survey in September 2019. The main themes were:

1. Bringing the river to the city - improving crossing points over the Brooker Hwy at Montrose, Goodwood and DEC

2. Improving the Intercity Cycleway - extend it further north to Granton and improve connections to the Glenorchy CBD, foreshore and MONA

3. More recreational paths and tracks - develop a network that links and extends the existing recreational paths and tracks to all major recreational destinations (eg: Montrose Foreshore area, MONA, Windermere Bay etc) in parks, reserves and alongside rivulets.

4. Safer footpaths - Improve the 466km of footpaths

5. Building infrastructure for all abilities - install kerb ramps on footpaths at intersections

6. Providing safer road environment - Continue to invest in Road User Safety Improvement projects. Priorities include:

• Zinc linc to Lutana from Intercity Cycleway along disused rail corridor

• Humprhreys Rivulet Track between Intercity Cycleway and Tolosa Park

• Foreshore Track

• Cycleway extension to Granton

• Montrose Foreshore Access across the Brooker Hwy
