THE STUDY AREA

Waterworks Reserve lies in the forested foothills of kunanyi/ Mt Wellington in the upper reaches of the Sandy Bay Rivulet at 150 metres above sea level (Figure 1).

The Waterworks Master Plan study area covers 32 hectares, which includes TasWater’s land titles of 12.8 hectares (Figure 2). The focus of this master plan is the 19.2 hectares of City of Hobart land. Issues of shared management concern include historic recreational linkages over the dam walls that traverse TasWater’s land, and environmental management issues that cross title boundaries or may impact on broader reserve values. Figure 3 provides a more detailed overview of the existing site features.
