Radical makeover for waterfront
Sue Neales Mercury
DETAILED makeover plans for Hobart’s Macquarie Wharf railyards and docks area containing the new Royal Hobart Hospital will soon go before Cabinet. Central to the docklands redevelopment is the extension of the main traffic thoroughfare of Davey St north below the Domain and war memorial Cenotaph through to the water’s edge. Plans seen by the Mercury detail a new $1 billion low-rise Royal Hobart Hospital at the centre of the site, ringed by associated medical centres and rooms, as well as luxury hotels, restaurants and arts venues.
