Tolmans Hill is a suburb of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. It is likely to be the last large scale greenfield suburban development to take place within Hobart city.[citation needed]
There was much controversy when the Tolmans Hill development was first announced as planning permits were not widely made available to the public. The development involved the removal of most of the vegetation that covered Tolmans Hill and many restrictions have been placed on land owners regarding revegetation, site disturbance, and visual impact. As the Hill features prominently upon the skyline of Hobart, a major impact has been seen by many residents of Greater Hobart, however due to the revegetation requirements placed on home builders this impact is likely to reduce in future years. After the development was allowed to proceed a movement to protect the Hobart skyline was initiated. Much of the land that is now bounded by bushland upon the hills of Hobart has very heavy building restrictions in place as a result of the Tolmans Hill project.[citation needed]
There are two private sports fields located behind Tolmans Hill on an old rubbish dump.
