18-44 Napoleon Street, Battery Point (the Cartela)
The Hobart City Council's Planning Authority Committee has approved a development application for slipyard works at 18-44 Napoleon Street, Battery Point.
The proposal involves slipping the Cartela ferry at Hunter's Slipyard for hull maintenance and repairs, including replacing deteriorated planking and dumps (bolts). The hull will be covered to protect the timbers and contain dust. Work will take place Monday to Friday, 8am – 4:30pm.
The work is expected to take approximately two years to carry out. The permit does not impose a time limit on the works.
