Ditch free parking, council advised
The Hobart City Council is considering scrapping early bird and free 90-minute parking at the city's major car parks.
A council committee has warned parking is at 80 per cent capacity during peak times and will reach full capacity by 2022.
It has recommended eight potential changes to reduce congestion, including removing free and cheap parking and opening the major car parks for longer to allow late-night shopping.
But Alderman Marti Zucco said the most promising option was creating more peripheral parking, with buses to the city.
"If it's going to cost you $10 a day to park in the CBD and $4 or $5 to park on the periphery, people will start considering those things," he said.
Police seek more city surveillance cameras
The Tasmania Police Association is calling for 100 per cent CCTV coverage across the Hobart CBD.
Association president Col Riley said CCTV coverage was "non-existent" in some parts of the city centre.
The association took its concerns to the Hobart City Council in April.
"The issue is that to even get to the court situation you need to have enough evidence to start with and if you don't have the video footage then you've got to try other means but in this day and age CCTV footage is a bare minimum for most investigations," he said.
Alderman Simon Behrakis said the council was working to address the issue.
Get on board the Mona Foma business bus
The organisers of the Mona Foma summer arts festival in Launceston are urging businesses to get involved in planning next January's event.
They are holding an industry engagement session for local businesses in Launceston on Friday night.
Mona Foma's business development officer Angelique Brcic said 46,000 people attended this year's festival and about a third were from interstate.
She said businesses around north and north-west Tasmania could take advantage of the influx of visitors during the festival.
"Even businesses as far away as Devonport noticed a surge over that weekend," she said.
Weather
Light rain is forecast for the west and north, increasing by this afternoon and extending to central areas.
Possible light rain elsewhere with gusty north-westerly winds shifting westerly by tonight.
