And then there was one….

If you know the owner of this van, currently on site at Lake Barrington International Rowing Course please let the know that we need their urgent attention to have it removed.

Site set up for ARC 2026 is in full swing and it needs to be urgently moved - either by owner or by site management.

Any help to track down the owner is greatly appreciated - please share and tag as appropriate 👍🏻

As part of the Selfs Point Sewer Transformation project TasWater needs to remove several large trees along the Intercity Cycleway near McVilly Drive to make way for the new sewer pipeline.

🚧 To complete this work safely and efficiently, the cycleway will be temporarily closed.
📍 Closure location: Between the Tasman Bridge and the Regatta Grounds car park.
📅 Dates: Monday 16 to Friday 20 March.
⏰ Times: 9 am to 4 pm.
🚴‍♂️ The cycleway will be open outside these hours.

🔀 Detours & Travel Advice
• Alternative routes are shown on the map.
• Allow extra travel time while using detours.

Bicycle Network Tasmania says cyclists riding to and from the north can detour from Bay Street via Letitia and Argyle/Campbell streets, but it’s more difficult for people coming over the Tasman Bridge — especially as the ferry doesn’t run during the day.

⚠️ Please note: Dates and times are subject to weather and ground conditions and may be adjusted if required.
