The City of Hobart is inviting the community to have its say on plans to improve safety, accessibility and public spaces around the intersection of D'Arcy, Washington and Macquarie streets in South Hobart.
Community engagement for the Macquarie Street South Junction Upgrade will run from 5 October to 1 November 2026, with residents, businesses and other stakeholders invited to learn more about the project and provide feedback on early concept designs.
The project is exploring opportunities to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility, simplify movement through the busy junction and create a greener, more welcoming public space.
Hobart Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds said the intersection was one of South Hobart's most important community hubs and community feedback will play an important role in shaping the final design.
Potential improvements being considered include safer pedestrian crossings, improved accessibility, increased greenery and shade, enhanced public spaces, opportunities for outdoor dining and activation, and stronger recognition of local identity through storytelling and public art.
