Glenorchy City Council has developed the Tolosa Park Masterplan to guide the long-term development and improvement of Tolosa Park as a major recreational, sporting and community destination. 

About Tolosa Park

Tolosa Park is one of Glenorchy’s most significant public open spaces. The park includes picnic areas, sporting facilities, bushland trails and the popular Tolosa bush huts available for hire.

Tolosa Park is a valued community space that supports recreation, sport, events and outdoor activities for residents and visitors of all ages.

The masterplan

The Tolosa Park Masterplan sets out a long-term vision for the future development of the park and guides Council’s planning, investment and improvement works over time.

The masterplan was developed in consultation with the community and identifies a range of priorities and opportunities for the precinct.

Glenorchy City Council is seeking funding to help transform the former Tolosa Reservoir into an iconic parkland space.

A Master Plan has been developed for the area, using extensive feedback from the Glenorchy Community.

The Master Plan will be carried out in 2 Stages, Stage A and Stage B. Stage A is complete.

Stage B, for which Council is seeking funding, will see the open area created in Stage A transformed into an iconic, recreational parkland and space for events. Stage B will see a network of paved walking trails created, and the installation shelters, picnic and BBQ facilities, boardwalks and play equipment, with and connectivity to trails and other facilities in the Tolosa region, all within 5 minutes drive of the Glenorchy CBD.

Key elements of the masterplan

Key initiatives included in the masterplan include:

  • Improved family facilities, including picnic areas, playgrounds and amenities
  • Enhanced sporting facilities for clubs and community use
  • Better access, circulation and parking
  • Protection and enhancement of bushland and natural areas
  • Improved walking trails and park connections

Investment

Stage A of the Master Plan, which will create the broad area of open space is being jointly funded by Council and TasWater. TasWater will hand the area over to Glenorchy City Council once the Stage A works are finished for Council to work on Stage B.

To complete Stage B as a single project rather than incrementally over multiple years, Glenorchy City Council requires funding of $13 million. Council has approached both major political parties and all Tasmanian Senate and House of Representative Candidates for Clark seeking their commitment to funding this important project for Glenorchy, Greater Hobart and Southern Tasmania.
