Our future Vision details a range of action items staged across the next 30 years that allow for a responsive, holistic solution embracing new technology and making the most of the opportunities the city holds for a better future.
The first two stages focus on shifting people’s behaviours and patterns to embrace new technology and mobility options

Why we need to shift
84% of Hobart residents use private transport to get to work. We have the highest percentage of car use for commuting of all capital cities in Australia.
Roar Film and Edge Film. What changes can we make?
Our initial aim is to achieve a 4% shift in traveller behaviour from private vehicle transport to alternative transport options in the first 10 years of the life of the Vision.
What happens if we don't see a change?
Roar Film and Edge Film. If the shift of transport mode is not achieved, or if population growth outstrips predictions, plans will need to be made in the first 10 years for a major infrastructure solution to ease congestion.
This analysis and assessment for major infrastructure project(s), which would be implemented in years 11 to 20, should take place in the first 10 years of the Vision. We need to be prepared and ready to implement an infrastructure solution if and when it is needed.
What are the next steps?
We’ll also begin to lobby key stakeholders and all levels of government to advocate on behalf of all Tasmanians for change.
