KINGBOROUGH COUNCIL

STREET LIGHTING
Council often receives enquiries from residents
about faulty streetlights, or requests for street
light activation in new subdivisions.
Street lights are not part of Council’s
infrastructure when they’re attached to an
overhead pole. Damaged or malfunctioning
lights on these poles should be reported
directly to TasNetworks on 132 004. Every
pole has its own unique pole tag number, so it
helps to advise TasNetworks of that number,
particularly in very long streets.
Council is responsible for street lighting poles
when the pole doesn’t have overhead power
services attached. Reports of damage to these
lights should be reported to the Council’s Asset
Management team leader on 6211 8283.
You should also call that number for street light
activation in new subdivisions. An assessment
will be made and, if applicable, a request will
be lodged with TasNetworks.
For urban subdivisions of less than 10 lots, it’s
Council policy that one-third of the lots must
have occupied dwellings before an activation
request is submitted to TasNetworks. Urban
subdivisions of more than 10 lots must have a
quarter of the lots with occupied dwellings.
There may be a delay in light activation after
a request is made to TasNetworks. This will
depend on the company’s workload at the time
of the request - particularly during very busy
times.
PARKING
Kingborough Council manages parking rules
and time limits on all public roads and council
controlled areas in the municipality.
That includes timed parking, “no stopping”
and “no parking” signs, loading zones, disabled
parking and permit parking.
Council also patrols the following car parks:
Channel Court, Kingston LINC, Kingston
Primary School, John Street, 7 John Street,
Kingborough Medical Centre, Kingston Plaza
and Kingston Gateway.
All-day parking is available at the back of the
John Street carpark. Park and Ride users have
two carparks available - Denison Street below
Calvin Christian School, and at Huntingfield
near the Algona Road / Channel Highway
roundabout.
Disability Parking
There are disability spaces available around
Kingborough. You must display your current
disability permit from your rear view mirror.
Council recognises permits from all States and
Territories. Tasmanian permit application forms
are available from Service Tasmania.
There is also a permit available for people
who are temporarily disabled, administrated
through the Hobart City Council.
