Works

Council has engaged Moore Civil Contracting to undertake erosion protection works adjacent to 34 and 35 Pipe Clay Esplanade, where shoreline erosion has progressed close to the road.

As part of these works, large sand-filled geofabric bags will be installed along the shoreline to help protect the road while Council considers longer term coastal management options for Cremorne.

Works are expected to commence during the week beginning 23 November 2026 and are anticipated to take approximately one week to complete, subject to tides, weather conditions and site constraints.

During this time, you may notice increased noise from construction machinery and delivery vehicles. Moore Civil Contracting will provide further information about traffic management arrangements closer to the commencement of works.

We are renewing three sets of beach access stairs at Lauderdale Beach to help keep beach access safe and reliable for the community.

Where are the works happening?

We will be renewing the stairs at:

• The northern end of Balook Street
• The eastern end of Hadlow Road
• The eastern end of Epping Road

When will the works happen?

Works are expected to start in November 2026 and finish by December 2026. Timing will depend on the weather, tides and contractor availability.

Each set of stairs will be closed for approximately two to four weeks while works are underway. We aim to have all three access points reopened before Christmas 2026.

Alternative beach access

The beach access stairs at the eastern end of Grafton Road will remain open during the works and can be used as the nearest alternative access point.

Thank you for your patience while we carry out these improvements.

We’re making improvements to Bellerive Beach Playground.

Some areas of the playground will be temporarily closed while we install new play equipment and surfacing.  See the image below for more information.

Works will begin from 19 October and be completed approximately 4 weeks later on 13 November (weather permitting). 

The improvements include:

• new rubber surfacing to replace the existing soft bark (beneath the sky tower and rockers) (blue area)
• removal of the sand pit (green area)
• installation of three new pieces of play equipment to replace the sand pit (green area)
• landscape improvements to the central garden including new stepping-stones and planting (yellow area).

The aerial shot of Bellerive Beach Playground (pictured below) shows the area where works are happening.

The area outlined with red dash shows the playground spaces that will be closed at the start of works.

This area will be adjusted as works are completed and playground areas are reopened.

 

 

 

We are progressing the staged upgrade of Pass Road, Rokeby, between Glebe Hill Road and Connor Place to improve safety, traffic efficiency and access for the growing Rokeby and Glebe Hill communities.

The project includes road widening, road boundary adjustments, underground service relocations, stormwater upgrades and overhead power relocations. A shared path is planned along the western side of Pass Road between Glebe Hill Road and Winterborne Road, with provision for a future shared path between Winterborne Road and Connor Place.

Engineering design for the first stage, between Winterborne Road and Connor Place, is substantially complete. Construction is scheduled to commence in 2027, subject to the completion of pre-construction activities and contractor procurement.

Design of the second stage, between Glebe Hill Road and Winterborne Road, is expected to commence in early 2027. This stage is intended to include a temporary unsealed footpath along the western side of the Pass Road reserve to improve pedestrian access ahead of the road upgrade.

An Aboriginal Heritage Assessment has been completed, with approval granted by Aboriginal Heritage Tasmania. Further design work and planning assessments are underway to confirm potential vegetation impacts and appropriate protection measures. Design refinements have also reduced the amount of land required for the project, with property acquisition processes progressing.

TasNetworks is relocating high-voltage mains in preparation for the upcoming roadworks.

We will continue to publish project updates on this webpage as further information becomes available. As property acquisition processes are confidential, we are unable to comment on individual property negotiations associated with the project.
