By Jo Spargo Verified, Rachel Edwards| Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Verified Plans for a new ferry terminal on the River Derwent at Lords Beach, Sandy Bay, were approved at last night's Hobart City Council meeting. Council's transport spokesperson Ryan Posselt explains why the site was selected over one at Wrest Point, and whether parking will be an issue for commuters. "Working with Federal Group, we were unable to secure a deal and that has led to us returning to Lords Beach, which is just next door, south of the casino," Mr Posselt tells ABC Radio Hobart's Jo Spargo.
