Disabled Fishing Platform

Risdon Brook Reservoir features a dedicated fishing platform designed specifically for wheelchair users, making it one of the more accessible angling spots near Hobart.

The platform targets trout, with stocks periodically replenished to support anglers with disabilities. Disabled toilet facilities are also available on site.

Access to the fishing bays requires both a valid recreational fishing licence and a transport scheme pass. The platform sits within Risdon Brook Park, a recreation area managed by TasWater approximately 15 minutes north of Hobart.
