Wellington Park Management Trust

The Wellington Park Management Trust is an independent management authority set up under the Wellington Park Act 1993. Membership of the Trust is specified in the Act, and comprises an independent Chair together with the Director-General of Lands, the Director of Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service and the CEO of Tourism Tasmania (or their nominees), plus 2 nominees of City of Hobart, and 1 nominee from each of Glenorchy City Council and TasWater.


The Trust is responsible for managing and protecting the diverse natural and cultural heritage values of Wellington Park, and for enforcing the Wellington Park Regulations 2019. The Park comprises 14 separate land parcels owned by the Crown, City of Hobart and Glenorchy City Council. The Trust's role is one of strategy and regulation, in partnership with on-ground management undertaken by the land owners.


The Trust develops and periodically updates the Wellington Park Management Plan, a statutory document that provides for sustainable opportunities for recreation and tourism, while conserving the environmental, cultural and water catchment values of the Park. The current Management Plan, released in 2013 and amended in 2015, is now being reviewed.
