Hobart must once again lead as Tasmania’s capital — economically strong, culturally confident and united by leadership worthy of our city.

Meet LouiseMore about Louise
A Hobart local, an accountant, a steady pair of hands
Born and raised in Hobart, Louise has spent her life serving this city. An accountant, she has run her firm, Bloomfield & Associates, for over twenty-eight years — bringing real expertise in finance, governance and the challenges facing local business.
After three years as an Alderman, she is running for Lord Mayor to bring calm, financially-literate leadership to Council — and to build a Hobart that respects its heritage, plans wisely for the future, and leaves no one behind.
The record
Not just a plan. A track record.
Three years on Council, and real outcomes to show for it. A few of the wins Louise is most proud of:
Backed our young people
Won Council support for the Beacon Foundation and protected YouthARC from defunding.
A fairer deal at Salamanca Market
Better stallholder contracts, and 15 years of wrongly charged stamp duty recovered.
Safer streets, working with Police
Established a new community safety liaison team with Tasmania Police.
In the community’s words
