TreeClimb Hobart has temporarily shut while what its operators describe as “additional council requirements” are completed.
The closure took effect at the aerial adventure park on Friday, October 9. It opened in early July.
TreeClimb Hobart said it had only just been told the park needed to shut.
“It’s disappointing to have to close TreeClimb Hobart during the school holidays and we’re sorry to all the families who had plans to visit,” TreeClimb general manager Rhiannon Noble told Pulse.
Noble said the park had been closed at the direction of the council while some additional requirements were confirmed.
“We’re currently meeting with council to understand exactly what’s needed and we’re cooperating fully to make sure everything is in place,” she said.
“We’ll share a reopening date as soon as it’s confirmed.”
“There has been no incident prompting the closure.”
She said all guests with upcoming bookings had been contacted directly and their bookings credited.
“We know many families and adventurers have plans with us and we’re so sorry to be pressing pause on your TreeClimb fun,” the park said on social media.
“We’re working closely with council to get this sorted as quickly as possible and can’t wait to welcome everyone back to the treetops soon.”
A Kingborough Council spokesperson said the council was “unable to comment on the details due to privacy and procedural requirements”.
“Any questions about the operation of a particular facility should be directed to the facility’s operators,” a council spokesperson told Pulse.
In May, TreeClimb Australia announced it was building the park at The Lea Scout Centre between Kingston and Hobart, with more than 600 metres of ziplines across six courses.
It is the first TreeClimb park outside South Australia.
