Updates, ideas and announcements as we work towards a Hobart that is affordable, safe and full of opportunity.
youtharc ·
What if we treated our young people as assets instead of problems?
YouthARC is a vital Hobart hub where young people find belonging through arts and music. By investing in connection before crisis, we build a city that values its residents as assets.
council amalgamation ·
Higher rates, less say? The reality of council amalgamation
A Hobart-Glenorchy merger risks higher rates and weaker representation. We must protect our local identities and choose cooperation over consolidation for a city that works for the people.

Beyond promises: My record of delivery for Hobart
Judge Louise Bloomfield on her record, not promises. From fixing Aquatic Centre losses to supporting Salamanca stallholders, she is delivering a fairer, more accessible Hobart for all residents.
small business ·
From a simple idea to a city-wide business community
Business Greater Hobart began with a simple belief: our small businesses need a stronger voice. Explore the journey from its early days to becoming a vital advocate for our local community.

Could Campbell Street become our city’s new innovation heart?
Campbell Street TAFE could be more than just classrooms. Let’s create an innovation precinct where students and local businesses connect to build a stronger, more diverse Hobart economy.
parking ·
Beyond the meter: A vision for human-centred parking
Parking in Hobart shouldn't be a lottery. We need a human-centred approach that helps parents, seniors and people with disabilities find the right space at a fair price.
hobart city council ·
What could Hobart achieve if we ended the Town Hall infighting?
Hobart’s future depends on cooperation beyond Town Hall. By prioritising negotiation over infighting, we can secure the investment needed for our roads, pipes, and local community.
accessibility ·
Independence and dignity: Practical wins for accessibility
A city is only welcoming when everyone can use it. From new parking bays to the online Access Map, we are working to remove barriers and ensure Hobart works for all its residents.
collins street ·
Is the Collins Street trial delivering on its safety promise?
A trial shouldn't mean immunity from scrutiny. We are calling for an independent safety audit of the Collins Street bike lanes to ensure infrastructure protects all Hobart residents and cyclists.
public transport ·
Leading a Regional Plan for Safer, Smarter Bus Stops
With bus patronage rising, our stops need more than just a pole. Louise Bloomfield proposes a regional audit and upgrade program to deliver seating, shelter, and local art for Greater Hobart.
south hobart ·
What’s next for dog access at South Hobart Oval?
Despite Council’s decision on dog access at South Hobart Oval, Louise Bloomfield remains committed to standing with residents and finding a practical solution for the local community.
hobart city council ·
Securing Hobart’s fair share: the $20 million opportunity
I see Hobart as falling short by $20 million in annual funding. We need a Lord Mayor who builds relationships to secure investment for infrastructure and keep the pressure off local rates.
housing ·
Where will the people who build our city live?
Major projects need workers, and workers need homes. We are proposing a regional modular housing plan to support our workforce today and provide community housing for the future.
hobart markets ·
Why fair processes matter for our market operators
Markets are community ecosystems built on years of effort. Louise Bloomfield explains why Hobart’s council processes must recognise this investment to keep our local economy thriving.
democracy ·
Why the power of ‘No’ is a wake-up call for Hobart
The power of 'no' is a democratic alarm bell. To move forward, local government must rediscover honesty and service, proving there is something worth saying 'yes' to in our city.
leadership ·
Hobart Must Lead Again
Hobart is Tasmania’s civic heart. It is time to move past internal conflict and restore purposeful leadership that focuses on housing, transport, and the needs of our local community.
night-time economy ·
Beyond the headlines: The real state of Hobart’s night economy
While headlines suggest growth, Hobart’s night-time economy is struggling to keep pace with inflation and costs. We need a strategy that supports real viability for our local venues.
