Chambroad's Kangaroo Bay hotel development approved for Hobart's eastern shore

In short:

The Tasmanian Planning Commission has approved plans to build a contentious hotel development on Hobart's eastern shore.

Chinese developer Chambroad wants to build a 155-room, five-star hotel at Kangaroo Bay at Bellerive.

What's next?

The project has faced multiple delays and community opposition, with the local council last year voting to buy back the land, a process that's currently before the Supreme Court.
