TMAG BUSHFIRE
EXHIBITION At the TMAG now: One Hell of an
Inferno: the 1967 Tasmanian
Bushfires but it closes soon - on
Sunday 19th March. That means it's also your last chance to visit the
Tasmania Fire Service Story Booth,
located in the Central Gallery, to tell
your story of Black Tuesday. Don't miss the moving and fascinating
Exhibition, which shares the stories of
many Tasmanians affected by the
events of February 1967, and also leave your own memories of the day,
which will become part of the 1967
Bushfires Story Map. And if you’re
keen to get more involved with the Museum, why not join one of the
TMAG’s popular membership groups
– the Friends of TMAG or the
TMAGgots – and enjoy even more of what TMAG has to offer.
DANGEROUS
INTERSECTION Residents are advised to exercise due
caution when approaching the
intersect ion of Wellesley and Congress Streets, especially now that
the summer sport season is in full
swing at Wellesley Park. An urgent
problem has arisen as vehicles are being parked right up to the corner to
accommodate the renovat ions
currently underway at 20 Congress
Street. Visibility down Wellesley Street is now nil until your car (or
your body!) is half way across the
intersection. The HCC has been notified by the Association and
suggestions made to trim vegetation
on all corners. A more permanent

Mt. Wellington. The project has a

historic Site yet - one of only a few
complexes designed to house female
convicts in Tasmania? South Hobart residents have free entry to the Site

A SOUTH HOBART NEWSLETTER complete. The beautiful historic building, that was the Macquarie
Street State School, is now looking
for tenants in the Arts and cultural
development fields to become part of
a dynamic community in this new
Arts hub. A Commonwealth
Government grant has been used to
renovate this historic site, bringing it up to 21st Century standards - a
dynamic new arts centre for South
Hobart and, indeed, all of Hobart.
The building has ample car parking, a hall that can be rented by the hour, a
meeting room and various sized
rooms in the main building available
for three year leases. Expressions of
interest must be submitted by 24th
March, 2017. If you are interested,
please organise a site visit and
briefing by ringing Neil Cameron (Project Manager) on 0418 733 551.
Send your Expression of Interest to
c/- Neil Cameron 4 Milles Street, South Hobart 7004.
I LOVE HOBART TMAG is partnering with the University of Tasmania (UTAS) to
present a special late night opening
at the Museum on Thursday 2nd
March, 2017. The Welcome to
Hobart evening is designed for the
whole community to welcome new
international students to Hobart, as
well as newcomers to the city, and introduce them to the cultural
attributes of their new home. There
will be a range of activities to enjoy
including live music, gallery tours, games, the Hobart Human Library
and, of course, the chance to enjoy
some fantastic Tasmanian food and
beverages. The event runs from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Entry is free, but
please register your attendance at the
Eventbrite page. [UTAS staff and
students can also register for free transport from the Sandy Bay
Campus and Melville Street
accommodation.]

STATE PLANNING
LEGISLATION DECISION Community groups have reacted with dismay and frustration over
Planning Minister Peter Gutwein’s
approval of the final State Planning
Provisions (SPP) that lock in weakened protection for urban,
environmental and cultural heritage,
reduce the capacity for the public to
engage in planning decisions and threaten to undermine Tasmania’s
unique character and identity. [Go
to the SHPA website’s Recent News
for the full details.]
