Hobart City Council elections are imminent – the university’s move into the CBD will be an issue

The council election includes an optional vote on the move. It’s not binding on the council but a big win either way would be hard for its elected members to ignore.

And both sides know it – The Mercury reports tensions betweee university management and the anti-move  Save U Tas Campus campaign.  The council election runs October 3-25 and voting is compulsory.

Which will make for an interesting public meeting,when candidates can address voters tomorrow night. It’s organised Save Campus group.
