The draft plan for the Springs development is available:

http://www.wellingtonpark.tas.gov.au/management/development/springs/#springs-zone-masterplan http://www.wellingtonpark.tas.gov.au/pdf/draftspringsmasterplan.pdf

Recommendations of the plan include:

Panel
  • Retention of the low key public open space at the upper Springs or Old Hotel site.
  • New interpretation signs and track entry facilities at the upper Springs.
  • Improved parking arrangements at the middle and lower Springs sites to provide for visitors to the day-use centre.
  • Improved picnicking facilities at the lower Springs area, including a new public toilet and improved walking tracks.
  • Upgrading of the existing lookout accessed via the former Exhibition Gardens, and reinstatement of a former walking track through the Gardens.

A key aspect of the plan is the recognition of the existing permit to build a day-use centre at the Springs. The centre, approved by the Resource Planning and Development Commission in 2004, incorporates a visitor centre, shop, restaurant, parking areas and public toilets. The permit is held by Sultan Holdings, who are intending to commence construction by November 2008. The draft plan however also notes the possibility of a new location for the approved day-use centre.
