VOTING RECORD

The Lord Mayor advised the Chamber with great sadness, of the death of former Hobart City Council Alderman Eric Hayes AO.

“Eric was an Alderman on the Council for two periods, the first being 1998 to 2007 and then from 2010 to 2011.

Eric served on the City Services, Infrastructure Services, Community Development, Finance and Corporate Services and Strategic Governance Committees.

Apart from his service to the City, Eric was probably best known as the proprietor of the Domino café in what is now the Elizabeth Street Mall, which he opened in the 1950’s after his success with the popular Manhattan milk bar in Criterion Street. At the time the Domino was known as a multicultural hub of Hobart with a continental atmosphere and its espresso coffee.

We send our deepest and sincere sympathies to Eric’s wife Christine and to all of his extended family.

As a mark of respect I request that the chamber rises to observe a minute’s silence.”
