The Hobart City Council is promoting the construction of a tourist tramway around the Hobart waterfront. So far five tram bodies have been obtained by the council, with body restoration on two trams completed so far.
The exact route and other details are yet to be finalised and approved. The favoured option is from Hunter Street around the waterfront to the Salamanca Place area. A number of alternative proposals including through the city to North Hobart and sharing the railway line to the Botanical Gardens have also been proposed.
The project is generally in abeyance, and it is unlikely that there will be any movement in the sort term. The trams remain in storage, and are not accessible to the public.
