After a long and tedious appeals process, the Mount Wellington cable car has just been rejected once again.
The Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal gave their verdict just moments ago after the Mount Wellington Cableway Company (MWCC) launched an appeal following a rejection for a permit from the Hobart City Council in June.
The Tribunal says the MWCC proposal failed to meet standards around noise emissions, visual impact, effects on elements of geoheritage, and effects on biodiversity, saying the proposal would also have an adverse effect on quiet enjoyment of natural and cultural values in the Park.
The proposed pinnacle centre, the cableway and a tower on the escarpment above the Organ Pipes would ‘adversely impact visual values and visual character in the Park’.
