As a result of the Lord Mayor contacting me regarding the future of the Farm Gate Market I have indicated I am prepared to reconsider its closure if the Hobart City Council is prepared to utilise its own resources to mitigate the concerns raised with me directly this morning by senior Health officials.
Any proposed way forward would need to ensure that stringent social distancing measures and customer hygiene practices are actively managed and overseen by the Hobart City Council from their own resources.
