The Tasmanian Government is inviting community feedback on proposed upgrades to the West Tamar Highway between Trevallyn and Riverside.
This project is jointly funded by the Australian and Tasmanian governments as part of a $36 million commitment to upgrade the West Tamar Highway Targeted Upgrades between Exeter and Launceston.
Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Kerry Vincent, said six priority sites have been identified to enhance safety, improve traffic flow and ensure this key transport link meets the community's future needs
"The West Tamar Highway is one of the busiest commuter routes in northern Tasmania, and these upgrades will make it safer and more efficient for everyone who uses it," Minister Vincent said.
"We want to hear directly from the community to ensure the designs meet local needs and support future growth in the area."
"The proposed improvements, from safer intersections to new pedestrian facilities, are about making it easier and safer for all road users, whether you're driving, walking or cycling."
The proposed designs include:
Community members can provide feedback on the designs from Monday, 10 November 2025 until Sunday, 30 November 2025 online via the Transport Tasmania website.
Two information sessions will also be held to give the public the opportunity to view the designs and share feedback:
The sessions take place at Windsor Community Precinct (Area 3), 1 Windsor Drive Riverside:
Throughout the consultation period, the designs can also be viewed at the West Tamar Council Riverside office at 2-4 Eden Street, Riverside and the City of Launceston office, 19-28 St John Street, Launceston, during business hours Monday to Friday.
