Vegetation works will be undertaken at Eurobin Street Geilston Bay as part of our hazard management area from Monday 19 January and are expected to take approximately three weeks to complete.

This action aligns with the adopted Bushfire Mitigation Strategy 2024-2034.

Completion of these works will reduce local bushfire risk, provide defendable space for residents, and improve firefighter safety during bushfire response.

Disruption Type: Temporary smoke and noise during works

As part of our annual park and playground renewal program we’re updating the play equipment at Blessington Street Park, South Arm.

The updates will include the renewal of all play existing equipment and combining existing play areas into one larger space.

It will also include minor landscaping, edging, new gravel path and softfall repairs.

Works begin with the removal of existing equipment and then installation of the new equipment.

For updates on this project please contact us.

Disruption Type: Access to play park may be interrupted

Each year we undertake an extensive springtime program of mowing, slashing and fire hazard management across the region.

From October and through to Summer we visit all council owned land to maintain vegetation and reduce hazards. This includes council land such as bush reserves, fire trails, rural roadsides and other natural areas.

Parks and sportsgrounds are maintained routinely throughout the entire year including throughout.

Toward the end of the schedule, we reassess all areas and will reattend spots where substantial vegetation has grown back. Typically, the mowing and slashing is done in stages, we start with fencelines and move into the centre, then we return for clean up – so the works may occur intermittently over several days.

Council-owned rural roadsides are slashed once a year and this work is done by a contractor.

The primary purpose of roadside slashing is to ensure clear sight lines for drivers, signage visibility, drain maintenance, safe pedestrian passage and fire safety. The basic mowing and slashing work utilises large machinery to minimise traffic disruptions and roadsides are not maintained to the same standard of sportsgrounds, parks and reserves.

Construction of the new Cambridge Dog Park at Cambridge Oval will commence in July and will be complete in early 2026.

The park is set to open in early 2026, and once complete, will be Clarence’s second dedicated off-lead facility, designed to provide a safe, inclusive, sensory and enriching space for dogs and their owners.

Spanning 1.5 hectares, the park will include:

• Two fully-fenced exercise zones – one for sensitive pooches and one for more sociable hounds
• A gravel dog training area
• Nature-based play features, including logs, rocks, and textured surfaces
• A central ‘pup hub’ meeting area with seating
• Water refill stations and shady spots for cooling off
• 6,000 square metres of lush new turf
• Accessible walking paths, and a new car park
• More than 70 new trees and extensive landscaping to make it a true canine paradise.

Initial works will see the land being reshaped for better accessibility and the repurposing of existing dams, laying the foundation for a thoughtful and inviting open space.

These works are part of the broader Cambridge Oval Master Plan.

Disruption Type: Weather dependant

We are planning upgrade works on Pass Road, Rokeby, between Glebe Hill Road and Connor Place to improve safety and accommodate increased traffic and heavier vehicles.

The upgrade will be delivered in stages. Works between Winterborne Road and Connor Place are intended to be undertaken in 2026, subject to contractor availability. This will be followed by works between Glebe Hill Road and Winterborne Road.

The project includes widening and upgrading the road, relocating underground services and overhead power lines, and improving stormwater infrastructure. A shared path is planned on the western side of Pass Road from Glebe Hill Road to Winterborne Road, with allowance for a future shared path from Winterborne Road to Connor Place.

In early 2026, key planning milestones were achieved. An Aboriginal Heritage Assessment has been completed, with approval granted by Aboriginal Heritage Tasmania. City of Clarence engineering plans are approximately 90% complete, with final drafting, internal approvals and a Natural Values Assessment underway to confirm impacts on vegetation and required protection measures.

Design refinements have reduced the amount of land required for the project. Land is now only required from three properties, and we are progressing valuations, surveys and negotiations with those property owners.

TasNetworks is preparing to relocate high-voltage mains to enable road widening and culvert construction. These works are scheduled for January–February 2026 and will not require road closures.

Once agreements with property owners are finalised and planning assessments are complete, City of Clarence intends to call tenders for construction in the current financial year.
