Please note if you use this track

🚧 Temporary impacts to Taroona Foreshore Track 🚧

Part of the Taroona Foreshore Track near the IMAS campus will be impacted between 1 June and 19 June (weather permitting) while contractors undertake upgrades to the intake pipe nearby.

To support this work, a 150mm diameter hose will at times be crossing the path on weekdays between 7am – 4pm, limiting access for some users.

Safety signage will be displayed for community awareness.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The work is part of improvements enabling IMAS to conduct safe and sustainable operations including research and species conservation.

💬 Have your say on Kingborough’s Disaster Resilience Strategy

Kingborough Council is developing its first Disaster Resilience Strategy to help our community and Council better prepare for, respond to and recover from future disasters.

Natural hazards like bushfires, storms and floods can happen with little warning. This Strategy will set clear goals and priorities to guide Council’s actions and focus on where we can make the biggest difference in building a resilient Kingborough.

💬 Your input matters
People who live, work, study, run a business or regularly visit Kingborough are encouraged to share their views. Local communities know best the risks they face and what support is needed before, during and after emergencies. Your feedback will help ensure the Strategy reflects real community needs and priorities.

📝 Community survey
Council is inviting feedback through a short survey (around 10 minutes to complete).
👉 Complete the survey here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/TRK3B8G
📅 Open until 27 April 2026

📍 Prefer a paper copy?

🤝 Further engagement
Council will also work directly with community groups and organisations, including a dedicated focus group to gather insights, experiences and ideas from key stakeholders.

Thank you for helping shape a safer, more resilient Kingborough.

Great little community gathering to mark the final transfer of this
important 8952m2 patch of Tasmanian blue gum forest to Kingborough Council for inclusion into Taroona Park. Good outcome for local biodiversity conservation particularly the critically endangered Swift Parrot which annually flies through Taroona Park to feed on the blue gum blossoms.

Thanks to the University of Tasmania for responding to community concerns and gifting the land.

If you’re planning a walk along Taroona Beach today, dip into the patch of blue gum forest behind.
We’ll be celebrating the protection of this forested area today. Join us for a cuppa at 2.30pm!
