We must thank everyone who has taken time to persuade Hobart Council to go ahead with the speed humps.
As you all know, Council finally made its decision to go ahead, but there is one last hurdle – the Department of Infrastructure (DIER) requires another round of public consultation.
To make is easier on everyone, we have drafted a collective submission on behalf of our community. Please have a look and let us know if you have any further additions or changes.
Here are the two relevant files:

Incidentally, anyone who cares to can make their own submission:
Simply write to Manager, Traffic Engineering, Hobart City Council GPO Box 503 Hobart 7001 by Monday June 9
thank you to chris- a succinct and eloquent summary of all the reasons why we have kept fighting to improve road safety in our valley. let’s hope there will be no more delays!
What an impressive submission! Thanks Chris.
I hope everyone makes submissions of their own, too, as I hear that there is another petition from Ridgeway and there has been a newspaper campaign as well.
Great use of research, very well written, thanks oh great one.
Great work Chris. Thank you. Do you require all of us to sign the submission?
I agree with all of this, and I think it reflects the original positive submissions of Waterworks Rd residents very well (mine at least, and the others I knew about), as well as adding new information – many thanks Chris for putting it all together.
Chris I absolutely support the submission and thank you for your huge effort in making our valley safer for all of us and our families.
In answer to Bev,
No if it’s okay with everyone Janine and I will sign on everyone’s behalves.
Meanwhile the anti speed hump man has been organising new petitions, so it’s best for us not to get too complacent.
That is an impressive submission Chris and Janine, well done and thank you. A very effective counter to some of the wilder stories circulating about this issue.
