Hobart's Lord Mayor Thomas may have won his mayoral robes by a whisker but he has put Hobart on a stable footing uncompromised by bleeding heart green agendas. Lord Mayor Thomas leads from the front and sets an example for the rest of Tasmania.
While his aspiration to amalgamate Glenorchy and Hobart Councils is yet to be achieved he is a man of vision. It took him to make the move to bury the hatchet with Launceston and get some perspective back in local government in Tasmania. We all knew Hobart was the premier local government in the state and it took Lord Mayor Thomas to reassert that. Watch this space.
Mayor Thomas has a clear vision for the city and a commitment to see Hobart evolve into a strong, vibrant and sustainable city. The council has also been engaged in an exciting process of planning and consultation to realise this vision and to ensure that Thomas's Hobart reaches its full potential as a vital and thriving capital city.
Lord Mayor Thomas set his roll in stone when he decided to take back the city's reins while he was on his summer break. In doing so he set a precedent that Tasmania's Mayors could all profitably follow.
Hobart's Inner City Development Plan is well within Mayor Thomas's hands. The community consultation process is now driven by his vision of Hobart as a people-focused city. The Inner City Development Plan (ICDP) is a key action in the Council's Economic Development Strategy 2009-2014 as a means of fulfilling Mayor Thomas's vision for Hobart.
Mayor Thomas is leading his council out of the faltering 'statewide council union' warrants the the support of Tasmanian ratepayers and residents. He is ensuring they get his kind of council driven by his aspirations and where he leads others might well follow.
