What should Hobart look like tomorrow? Let's chat.

The Hobart Design Guidelines are a new handbook aimed at supporting thoughtful, high-quality development across the city.

The guidelines don't introduce any new rules. Instead, they provide a practical and inspiring resource for designers, developers and the broader community.

It is hoped the handbook will serve as a tool to help Hobart grow in a way that reflects its unique character, supports wellbeing, and responds to future challenges.

Come along to this pop-up if you would like to talk with the minds behind the guidelines and share your thoughts on what should be included in the handbook.
