Tasmanian entrepreneur Greg Ramsay hopes to begin work on a golf course, recreation and accommodation development on the South Arm peninsula
by the end of next year.
And a proposed River Derwent ferry service, offering a 15-minute trip to Hobart, would add to the attraction.
The 18-hole links course would take up less than 25% of the 146ha site, leaving room for walking trails, picnic pavilions, fishing platforms and cycle-ways.
Mr Ramsay said the value of the investment, depending on community reception, would be between $3 million and $10 million.
Mr Ramsay has been dealing with residents, community groups and Birds Tasmania about the site, which was bought from George Calvert by the state’s Parks and Wildlife Service in 2000.
