Hobart's BIG issues

Hobart is one of the most enviable cities in the world to live in and visit. 

Home to beautiful parks, mountains, rivers and beaches. A cultural city renowned for its festivals, arts, orchestra, museums and heritage buildings.

A cool climate and clean environment we are experiencing the greatest economic boom this state has ever seen.

But despite all this there is trouble in paradise.

We head the nation in some of the worst socioeconomic indicators and the city carries record debt that the next generation will inherit.

Traffic congestion, housing shortages, building and planning complications are just some of the big issues this city has to deal with.

I will deliver strong leadership, real life business experience with a social conscience and a transparent and consultative approach.

Following are the big issues that I see and experience and would make a priority to address.

John Kelly is a true local - born, raised, educated and worked in the city of Hobart all his life.

 

Dedicated participation in both community and small business in such diverse fields as sporting clubs, Army Reserve, committees and boards, surf lifesaving, charities, construction, to name a few, gave John the all round skills to acquire and turn around the much loved, but fledgling State Cinema in 2002.
