Visitor infrastructure investment

The challenge

The Tasmanian Government has identified the visitor economy as a strategic economic growth opportunity for the state. Tasmania is known for being clean and green and there is a customer expectation that our road environment will reflect this.

The condition of roadsides is one of the first impressions visitors to Tasmania receive as they travel from an airport or ferry terminal.

State road customer complaint data shows a large number of complaints relate to the appearance of state road roadsides. This suggests current management is not meeting customer levels of satisfaction.

Customer complaints in relation to the State Road Network made between 2005 and 2015.  A large majority relate to aesthetic issues such as roadside mowing and litter collection.

Investment Plan

A program of state road infrastructure upgrades targeting specific visitor levels of service will be developed in line with tourism industry priorities.

The Investment Plan includes investment to improve the appearance and maintainability of important visitor gateways including roundabouts, medians and landscaping, particularly the Tasman Highway between the airport and Hobart, the southern approaches to Launceston and the Bass Highway at Devonport.
