Construction Update - Next Stage of Lower Domain Road Pipeline Works

25 July 2025

As part of building Hobart’s future sewer network, we’re installing a new 4.3 km sewer pipeline along Lower Domain Road. The next stage of work will bring construction closer to the Tasman Highway.

What’s happening

We’re installing new sections of the sewer pipeline as part of this major upgrade.

When

Monday 28 July to Saturday 2 August 2025

Where

Work will take place between Lower Domain Road (near the Botanical Gardens entrance) and across Carriage Drive.

Traffic and Access Changes

  • Minor lane restrictions and short sections of closures for in-road construction.
  • Traffic controllers are on site to keep vehicles and pedestrians moving safely, including access to the Gardens’ main entrance.
  • Temporary loss of car parking opposite the Botanical Gardens entrance.

Stage 1, located along Lower Domain Road (between the Domain Highway and the bus turning bay), is planned to fully reopen to the public by Saturday, 9 August 2025.

We understand these works may cause some inconvenience, and we appreciate the community's patience as we complete this important project to improve Hobart’s sewer infrastructure and protect the health of the Derwent.
