Upcoming Road Closure – Lower Domain Road mid/late June to August 2025

12 June 2025

As part of the Selfs Point Sewer Transformation Project, we’re building a new 4.3km sewer pipeline to connect the new pump station at Macquarie Point and the future Selfs Point Sewage Treatment Plant at New Town Bay.

To safely carry out this work, the next section of Lower Domain Road (between the bus turning bay and the entrance to the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens) will be fully closed from mid/late June to August 2025.

What’s happening now?
Work on the first section of Lower Domain Road (between the Domain Highway and the bus turning bay) is nearly complete. We’re finalising pipe installation and road reinstatement works and expect to reopen this section to traffic later in June 2025.

How will this new closure affect you?

  • Access changes - you can still reach key locations like the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens and Government House.
  • Parking changes – local parking spaces along Lower Domain Road may be impacted.
  • Detours will be in place - please allow extra time. We have included a map below with alternative routes to help plan your trip.

We understand these temporary changes may be inconvenient and will impact the daily lives of some residents and visitors. We appreciate your patience while these important works are underway.
