The Contested Waterfront
Take a walk along one half of the proposed Battery Point Walkway and discover the story behind one of Hobart’s most enduring public infrastructure proposals.
Hear from Friends of Battery Point Walkway members Jim Gandy, David Hook and Chris Shurman about the vision for a continuous waterfront walkway, the design and progress of the proposal, and the decades-long campaign to make it a reality.
As you walk, look out across the Derwent and consider what greater public access to Hobart’s waterfront could mean for the city — and how community advocacy can help shape the places we share.
Come along, have a look, and join the conversation about the future of Hobart’s waterfront.

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
