As part of building Hobart’s future sewer network, we’re installing the next section of a new 4.3 km sewer pipeline along Lower Domain Road. The next stage of work will involve the full closure of Lower Domain Road between Carriage Drive and Government House Tasmania.

What’s happening

We’re installing the next large section of the sewer pipeline as part of this major upgrade.

When

Monday 18 August to late September 2025

Where

Work will take place along the Lower Domain Road (between Government House Tasmania's main entrance and Carriage Drive entry closest to the Tasman Highway).

Traffic and Access Changes

• Access changes – You can still reach key locations like the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens and Government House Tasmania, but detours will be in place, and it may take a little longer than usual.
• Parking changes – No on-street parking will be available along Lower Domain Road between Carriage Drive and Government House Tasmania during this stage of works.
• Plan ahead– Expect some delays along Lower Domain Road. To reduce disruption, clear signage and alternative routes will help guide you. We have included a map for your reference.

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 Monday, 18 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.
