Concept designs released for new Tasmanian Tyndall Range trail huts

Tasmania's Parks and Wildlife Service are in the process of finalising concepts for their Next Iconic Walk project in Tyndall Range within the state's West Coast. Following the format of the established Overland and Three Capes Tracks, the new three-day/two-night hut-based bushwalk will connect Lake Plimsoll in the north with Lake Margaret Power Station in the south.

Leading the design, Jaws Architects have proposed concept plans for the two hut sites that were signed off by the Steering Committee in October last year. Their portfolio includes the prefabricated and site-assembled Three Capes Track cabins that were completed in 2015.

Drop-in information sessions with the architects and project team are scheduled in Launceston on 11 September and Hobart on 17 September. Attendees will be able to view the proposed hut designs, maps of the track route and early interpretation themes.

According to the updated project timeline, the development application is due to be lodged with West Coast Council and advertised for further public comment in late 2024. Construction is expected to commence at the end of 2025.
