Kunanyi/Mt Wellington Zip Line Proposal
Last week on Adjournment I spoke of my disappointment at the recommendation of the planning officer that the development be approved.

This proposed zip line was modelled on another in New Zealand by the same proponent - part of a theme-park approach for Kunanyi.
Let me take a moment at this point to acknowledge those representors and say thank you. Time and again, you step up to defend Kunanyi.
The Tasmanian Greens will be encouraging the community to make representations opposing a private, commercial zipline proposed on the slopes of Kunanyi
The Tasmanian Greens do not believe the ‘Our Mountain’s Future’ is a credible or necessary process. The Mount Wellington Management Trust should be left to complete their review.
Deputy Speaker, I rise tonight to talk again about kunanyi, that omnipresent mountain that sits behind our beautiful city here, nipaluna.
I've got some questions about the $600,000 your department allocated to a strategic review of kunanyi/Mt Wellington in the Budget. I'd like a breakdown of how the $600,000 is planned to be spent and whether you are aware that the Wellington Park Management Trust had made a submission for $300,000 to the Treasury Structured Infrastructure Investment Review process for a business case? Were you aware of that when you announced your own strategic review?
hy are you letting the minister for Business, Industry and Resources run the internal departmental review of future uses of kunanyi?
In 2021, the Mount Wellington Cable Car Company proposal was comprehensively rejected by the Hobart City Council through a rigorous established planning process, hearing thousands of concerns raised by Tasmanian Aboriginal people, the community, and experts.
Your government has a policy to support a cable car up kunanyi/Mount Wellington and the construction of a large, privately owned commercial centre on the summit. Your predecessor set up a specific section in the Department of State Growth to help its progress and pass facilitation legislation to help the proponents apply for assessment.
