Making the most of West Park for our Community

Published on 03 September 2021

During July this year, the Burnie City Council and the University of Tasmania embarked on a process to explore all the future possibilities for the University of Tasmania’s move to West Park, a reimagined Makers’ Workshop, and the opportunities it enables for our region.

Burnie City Council Mayor Steve Kons said “As the new Cradle Coast campus nears completion, and with the Makers’ Workshop being reimagined, it is timely for us to come together with all site users and the community to shape this plan.”

The first consultation phase focused on the Guiding Principles - Community, Accessibility, Place and Sustainability - to help guide all future uses and operations of West Park. We wanted to know if these were still the right fit, and the feedback we received was highly supportive. As a result, the feedback has been incorporated into a Draft Precinct Agreement between Burnie City Council and the University and we would like to thank those who have been a part of this conversation to date.

The second consultation phase is now open and we invite the community to provide further feedback on the Draft Precinct Agreement. We’ll be gathering feedback until Thursday, 30 September.

It is anticipated that our plan for West Park will be released by the end of this year.

Be part of the conversation and help us shape a vibrant future for West Park as it enters its next phase.
