Your vote matters. SHPA surveyed all candidates for Hobart City Council to help you make an informed choice. 20 candidates chose to respond.
Our questions covered general community issues and some specific SoHo concerns:
- Responding to projects with majority public opposition
- Campaign funding from property developers
- Preservation of public green spaces
- Mt Wellington cable car
- Halls Saddle visitor hub
- Council behaviour
- Net zero carbon target for council operations
- Shared access for dog owners to South Hobart Sports Ground
- Improvements to Hobart Rivulet Park
- 40 kmh speed limit in the SoHo retail precinct
- Planning to protect natural and cultural heritage
Many invested extra time and effort to explain their responses and to raise their own priority issues.
Please take the time to read those comments before reacting to the simple Yes/No response.
Voting is compulsory, and is by postal voting only. Ballot packs are delivered from Monday 5th October, 2026. The polls close at 2:00 pm on Tuesday 27th October, 2026.
