kunanyi/Mount Wellington Cable Car legislation Tabled
A cable car on kunanyi/Mount Wellington would be a game changer for Tasmania. It would showcase one of our most stunning natural landmarks, make the pinnacle more accessible to more people and it would create new jobs for Tasmanians.
The idea of a cable car on kunanyi/Mount Wellington has been around for over 100 years and it is time to take the next step and for a proposal to be assessed on its merits.
Accordingly, I have today tabled the Cable Car Facilitation (kunanyi/Mount Wellington) Bill 2017 in Parliament.
This legislation follows extensive public consultation and once passed will facilitate the assessment of a cable car proposal on kunanyi/Mount Wellington through the normal planning process.
Matthew Groom, Minister for State Growth`
