Residents fear compulsory acquisition of Dynnyrne homes to make way for Southern Outlet bus lane

 Meg Smith and her husband have poured "blood sweat and tears" into restoring their home, but they are worried the more than 100-year-old house's days are numbered.


Key points:

Several properties on a suburban Hobart street could be affected by a plan to widen the Southern Outlet

The State Growth Department has written to some Dynnyrne Road residents saying the proposed designs "require more space than the existing road corridor permits"

The Liberals first promised a fifth lane for the Southern Outlet in 2018, and residents were notified about the current proposal on March 25

Ms Smith and her husband are among a group of homeowners in Dynnyrne, in Hobart's southern suburbs, who have been told their property could be affected by a proposal to widen the Southern Outlet — which is the main route for people travelling to Hobart from the south.
