The works for the Swansea Main St development, funded from grants is almost complete. The funds have taken the works as far as we can stretch them.
Tenders were significantly above the original budget, as has been the case with all works budgeted before the end of 2020, meaning the scope of works encompassed in the design is not able to be delivered at this time, through the grant.
This provides opportunity in the future to complete the works through future funding with a shovel ready design.
Stage 1 is completed from Muir’s Beach car park to the wharf. Stage 2, from the Wharf to Garnet Avenue will commence shortly with completion expected before the end of 2024.
Works on the Gulch project are well advanced with completion of the project to be reached before the summer tourist rush.

Glamorgan Spring Bay Council continues to develop the Triabunna Wharf and Marina Precinct (TWMP).
The TWMP consists of berths for recreational boats, tour boats and commercial fishing boats.
There is a four lane, all tide public boat ramp with large vehicle and trailer parking facilities.
Council has completed Stages 1 to 4 of the marina expansion to cater for the high demand for marina berths.
Expansion development to the TWMP commenced in 2012.
The TWMP has 24 hour CCTV monitoring for security.
The Triabunna Wharf and Marina consists of the following:
- Over 100 marina berths
- 1 Ferry terminal servicing passengers to Maria Island
- 3 Tour boats berths servicing the popular East Coast
- 7 commercial fishing boat berths
- Large Commercial wharf with diesel fuel facilities
- 4 lane, all tide public recreational boat ramp
The development of the TWMP has cemented Triabunna’s future as the gateway to Maria Island National Park and a boating mecca for East Coast Tasmania.
Due to the economic and social success of the Triabunna Wharf and Marina Precinct, and the ongoing demand for additional commercial and marina berths as well as the long-term needs of the Maria Island ferry, a long-term master plan has been prepared. The Spring Bay Harbour Expansion Master Plan was developed through 2018 in consultation with key users and stakeholders.
The development of the Spring Bay Harbour Expansion Master Plan coincided with Federal Government infrastructure grant funding programs that relate strongly with the objectives and social and economic benefits that the Master Plan will bring. Accordingly grant submissions were made with multiple letters of support from local organisations and potential users however the outcome is not yet known.

Triabunna Tomorrow Streetscape Plan 2016
Triabunna Tomorrow is about rethinking and redefining the town’s built environment to assist with developing the town as the gateway to Maria Island and the economic benefits of encouraging visitors to stop and spend some time exploring and discovering Triabunna.
The Gateway Gatehouse project is one of the critical Stage 1 projects to come out of a series of urban design recommendations that deliver the establishment of a coordinated culture and environment within Triabunna. It contains contemporary buildings, spaces and artworks that completely redefine the town.
The Gateway Gatehouse has been built on Council owned land at the main entrance to the town on the Great Eastern Drive (GED) and is clearly visible from the highway. It aims to capitalise on and improve the visitor journey along the GED.
The overall purpose of the Gateway Gatehouse is to create a welcoming, memorable and meaningful entry experience to the town. It acts as a satellite visitor information centre, providing a place for visitors to pull over, discover what the town is about and clearly position and signpost Triabunna as the gateway to Maria Island National Park.
