Boronia Hill Reserve

This track is easily accessed from a number of streets in Kingston and Blackmans Bay.

The upgraded steps on the Royce Thompson Track to Boronia Hill, Kingston were completed recently, along with new signage and entrance bollards.

The track winds through peppermint and white gum woodland, dotted with sandstone outcrops.

Orchids can be found in the heathland in spring and early summer, along with epacris, pea flowers and wattles.
Boronia Hill Reserve was made possible through the generosity of a visionary group of women, who when selling their Kingston Beach craft gallery, donated part of the proceeds to Council for the conservation and protection of the reserve.

⏱ Time: 1 hour return
🚶‍♂️ Distance: 4 km return
🚗 Ample parking at reservoirs off Jindabyne Road.
✅ Dogs on leads allowed. Bikes are permitted on service roads in the reserve and on the Hutchins Street to Jindabyne Road link
⚠️ Narrow bush track with multiple steps
🗺 See map in photos for more details

TasWater has identified a sewer spill that has affected the southern end of Blackmans Bay Beach.

Council advises people not to swim or undertake other recreational water activities at this site.

The issue was caused by a blocked sewer in Illawarra Road and has now been rectified by TasWater.

Signage has been placed at the affected areas advising that the area is not suitable for recreational use.

The area may remain unsuitable for swimming and other recreational water activities for the next 24 hours.

A new shelter is on the way at Blackmans Bay beach

Work is scheduled to begin this Friday, 30 October to replace the shelter at the northern end of Blackmans Bay beach.

Beach access at the northern end of the beach will be closed to allow the safe removal of the existing shelter and construction of the new one. The project is expected to be completed before the end of the year and we will keep the community updated as the project progresses.

Please follow signage and advice from contractors while the works are underway.

Thanks for your patience!

🌧️ Campbell Street Stormwater Upgrade Complete

Great news for Firthside residents, the Campbell Street stormwater upgrade is now complete.

The project included the installation of additional stormwater pipes and a new detention system to help better manage stormwater during heavy rainfall and reduce the risk of localised flooding.

A big thank you to nearby residents and road users for their patience while the works were underway.

🗨 Local resident Dianne praised the contractors for their work and professionalism throughout the project.
“They were so courteous, friendly and nothing was a problem for them when we needed to get in and out our driveway and street.
Thanks guys for a great job.”

The Campbell Street stormwater upgrade is part of Council’s ongoing commitment to maintaining and improving essential infrastructure across Kingborough. ✅

Tasmania Fire Service
28/10/2026

Tasmania Fire Service

A statewide Fire Permit Period will start at 2am tomorrow, Thursday, 29 October, 2026.

This means fire permits will be required across the state from this time.

If you have a property and you wish to conduct a burn (larger than 1 cubic metre in size) on your property, you will need to apply for a free fire permit, by submitting an application online at https://www.fire.tas.gov.au/total-fire-bans-fire-permits-burn-registrations/ or free-call 1800 000 699.

During a Fire Permit Period, a permit is required by individuals intending to light a fire for burning vegetation or for a similar purpose. Permits are also required for fires at a sawmill or factory for burning wood waste or other flammable material.

Fires for cooking, warmth or disposal of garden waste do not require a permit provided that:
• It is one cubic metre or less in size.
• The fire is not lit in peat, humus or marram grass.
• The fire is attended by a responsible adult at all times until it is extinguished.
• All flammable material is removed for at least three metres radius from the fire.

Reminder: All fires lit in the open at any time of the year should be registered with the Tasmania Fire Service online via https://www.fire.tas.gov.au/total-fire-bans-fire-permits-burn-registrations/ or free-call 1800 000 699.

Remember:
• Some local government authorities prohibit backyard burning in residential areas.
• Fire may only be lit with the authority of the landowner.
• Fires must not be allowed to spread to neighbouring property.
• Neighbours should be informed of an intention to light a fire.
