It provides direct skybridge access to the Royal Hobart Hospital and Wellington Centre.
The council said the Centrepoint and Central car parks remained open and were “fully operational and available for customer use”.
Centrepoint offers 782 spaces and Hobart Central has 466 spaces.
The council has not given a timeframe for reopening.
