25A Osborne Esplanade, Kingston Beach
Council discussed the options available to the Kingston Beach Surf Lifesaving Club during the 26 June Council meeting. The recently refused development proposal for 25a Osborne Esplanade will no longer be pursued and the Surf Club is now looking at other options. Council staff are having further discussions with the Club’s executive in order to assist in finding the right solutions for the Club and its members.
Council is committed to improving the current public toilet and changeroom facilities at Kingston Beach to support both the local community and visitors to the area and will be investigating how the site at 25a Osborne Esplanade can be best used for the future.

Council received a request from Hobart City Council regarding Australia Day and resolved to support:
- Changing the date of Australia Day; and
- Local Government Association of Tasmania lobbying the Federal Government for changing the date of Australia Day.
