Data led policy for Hobart

Grounded in Evidence,
Built for People

Tiffany believes that good policy starts with good data. Every position she takes is informed by evidence, community input, and independent research.

To develop her policy positions, Tiffany draws on the work of independent policy organisations including Fore Good, an Australian-based organisation dedicated to building a stronger, fairer community through evidence-based advocacy. Alongside Fore Good, Tiffany actively seeks input from independent researchers, community organisations, and the people most affected by the issues she campaigns on — particularly women, people with disabilities, and those advocating for climate action.

This approach reflects a core belief: that the best decisions are made when you listen first, look at what the evidence actually says, and remain honest about what you don’t yet know.

As a Councillor, Tiffany will bring that same process to every vote, every budget decision, and every conversation at the council table. She will publish her reasoning openly, consult genuinely, and always be willing to follow the evidence.

 

DATA: Hobart has more women than men — the lowest male-to-female ratio of any Australian capital city (95.2 males per 100 females, ABS 2024).

ACTION: Hobart: A City for All Action Plan 2026–29

Hobart has made important commitments through the Hobart: A City for All Action Plan 2026–29, and I believe it is time to take stock. As a candidate, I am committed to undertaking a thorough review of the actions outlined in that plan. Assessing what is working, what needs to go further, and whether our current trajectory will actually deliver the outcomes our community deserves. Hobart’s residents, including women, people with disability, and those most exposed to climate risk; need more than good intentions on paper. They need a council that holds itself accountable to the goals it has set and is willing to act when the evidence says we need to do more.

ACTION: Require gender impact assessments on all major Council decisions
Australia’s national gender equality strategy Working for Women outlines five priority areas: ending gender-based violence, unpaid and paid care, economic equality and security, health, and leadership, representation and decision making. Council decisions on planning, procurement, and community services should be assessed against these five dimensions before being passed.

ACTION: Map and make publicly available breastfeeding and parenting facilities. 

ACTION: Display “Breastfeeding is Welcome Everywhere” signage alongside other statements of inclusion. 

ACTION: Review and update the outdated 2022 City of Hobart Local Preference Policy – which cites a defunct Purchasing Policy.

DATA: 60% of Australian women have faced period poverty (can’t afford period products) at some time in their lives.

ACTION: Tackle Period Poverty Through Council Facilities 

Partner with organisations like Share the Dignity or On The House to provide free period products in Council facilities without increasing cost for Council (and therefore rates).

ACTION: Update the Council’s Toilet Strategy to ensure our toilets are safe, accessible (both in location, and design) and clean. 

DATA: Tasmania has one of the highest rates of disability of any Australian state. Over one quarter (26.8%) of Tasmanians have or had disability — higher than all other states and territories. Hobart’s also has an older median age (39.3 years), and disability prevalence rises sharply with age (52.3% of Australians aged 65 and over have disability). ACTION: Powered wheelchair and mobility scooter charging stations — Independence in public space is a practical daily concern for people using powered mobility devices. Hobart’s hilly terrain drains batteries faster than flat cities, effectively shrinking the accessible city. Councils control the placement of amenities in parks, precincts, and civic spaces. A charging network audit developed with input from local mobility device users, and installation of charging points at key destinations, would be credible, deliverable, and transformative for local independence. Currently, there is only 1 listed location, and your own charger must be used. ACTION: Footpath and kerb accessibility — 14.4% of workers walk to work, one of the highest rates in Australia, and the area has a significant flat or apartment-dwelling population. Maintaining smooth, well-lit, kerb-cut footpaths is low-cost but high-impact for wheelchair users, people with prams, and older residents. Long term planning for public lifts or alternate means of gradient management must be completed. Set a 5 year target and work towards improved footpath and kerb accessibility. ACTION: Conduct Hobart City Council audit for web accessibility.  There are still components that are not able to be interpreted easily through a screenreader and many forms that are not disability accessible. ACTION: Implement live captioning for Council Meetings Council meetings currently are videoed, and put online after the meeting time with captions; however this limits in person engagement someone Deaf/deaf of hard-of-hearing can access. No AUSLAN interpreter is translating meetings.

ACTION: Support Community Battery roll out in partnership with TasNetworks.

ACTION: Utilise locally hosted AI models (which reduce environmental impact) when the use of AI use makes sense.  

ACTION: Advocate for a Tasmanian energy strategy to make sense of various projects, their impact and the way Council will interact with the wider energy system in Tasmania.
