Board approves downtown film shoot for late‑March, asks producers to coordinate with police
Summary
The authority added a late film‑shoot request to the agenda and approved downtown filming March 22–25 with daytime cemetery scenes; staff and board emphasized police coordination and sidewalk use to minimize disruption.
The Hobart City Redevelopment Authority approved a late film‑shoot request and added it to the meeting agenda after board members discussed timing and logistics. The production (identified in materials as a request from John Snowden Van Bailyn) plans a downtown shoot that includes daytime scenes near the cemetery.
Committee member (speaker 4) moved to add the request and to reorder the agenda so unfinished business and unsafe‑building items could be handled earlier. Board members discussed using sidewalks rather than closing lanes and emphasized notifying the police department to avoid conflicts with state routes and pedestrian traffic. The motion to allow filming March 22–25 passed by voice vote.
The board encouraged the production to keep city staff and police apprised and suggested producers could recruit extras locally; no special road closures were approved at the meeting.
