We all know there’s something special about living in Greater Hobart.
But we also know that we’re not all that we could be. We’ve heard loud and clear that people need and expect something better to live here, to stay here.
The Committee was founded on the belief that we, as residents and businesses of Greater Hobart, need to do more to help make our region a vital, inclusive and sustainable place to live.
We have a significant role to play in fostering collaboration and driving positive change through:
We believe a positive, collaborative and diverse culture is vital to our region’s success, which is why we create connections and networks across Greater Hobart. To do this, we run events and education initiatives, and share information as widely as we can — because Greater Hobart gets better when we work together. It’s also why we’re deeply passionate about giving a voice to the young people of Tasmania, to ensure they have a say in what the future of their home looks like.
We commission research, using best-practice techniques and a range of methods, that look into the challenges and opportunities our region is facing. We make sure what we find is accessible and useful to everyone in our region, not just members or experts. If our research starts debate and discussion, that’s great – we’re here to grow knowledge and find better ways to realise our potential.
We passionately advocate for our region, but we don’t take hasty positions on anything. We always think in the long-term, so we put our energy into promoting the outcomes from the independent research we commission, which allows decision makers and communities to use them in the most strategic and effective ways possible.
We create opportunities for our members to become part of an active network of leaders, experts and citizens who share knowledge and resources, and develop relationships that help our communities and organisations to thrive. We also collaborate with our members to shape the Committee’s priorities, as we all work together to benefit everyone in the Greater Hobart region.
We’ve also reviewed existing plans that are charting our path forward. By embracing diverse perspectives, we can collaboratively shape our subsequent initiatives. We acknowledge the ongoing need for insights and remain dedicated to deepening our collective understanding.
