Hobart’s Queens Walk social housing complex is set to grow to 150 units after council unanimously voted through 65 new multiple dwellings last night.

“I had a chance to tour through the units before and after, and the redevelopment, I think, has been pretty good,” said Cr. Harvey.
“It’s really a well-located area…the fact is it has a lot of recreational space, and it would be great to think the residents would have an easy cycle ride through there to Kmart and wherever else they need to go.”
