Elizabeth Street Mall

Elizabeth Street Mall is a pedestrian street mall in Hobart, Tasmania. It is located on Elizabeth Street between Collins Street and Liverpool Street. It is the largest shopping area in the Hobart city centre.[1] It is also a busy meeting place and busking area.[2]

The mall was created in the 1970s when small-scale pedestrianisations were briefly popular in Australia and other countries. At the time this was opposed by some businesses, but now the street is one of the busiest in the city.
