Hobart
Hobart City Council is located on Hobart's western shore. As the capital it is the central activity centre for Greater Hobart for work, shopping and entertainment.
​
In 2024 City of Hobart endorsed a Transport Strategy that identifies a number of actions to support cycling such as developing a Hobart Cycling Strategy, implementing the Greater Hobart Cycling Plan, developing safe routes to schools, behaviour change initiatives and road safety improvements to benefit vulnerable road users.
​
In 1997 Council adopted the Hobart Bike Plan which identified routes shown on the map for cycling infrastructure. The Intercity Cycleway and Hobart Rivulet Track were the only substantial projects that were completed in the first 20 years of the strategy.
The City of Hobart hasn't had a comprehensive cycling network plan since but it is a priority from the Hobart Transport Strategy 2024.
In 2008 a Principal Cycling Network Plan was adopted to prioritise arterial cycling routes.
​
The Tasmanian Bicycle Council (TBC) prepared a Hobart City Centre Cycleway Plan in 2019 in response to transport strategies from State Government, City of Hobart and RACT which identified the need for improved cycling infrastructure in the city centre but did not identify where. The TBC plan identifies a AAA standard cycling network on Collins, Campbell, Melville and Harrington Streets with an emphasis on bi-directional cycleways to overcome the barriers posed by a one-way street layout.
