Hi
The Eastern Shore (Howrah Tranmere Lindesfarne ) has the two shopping centres Shoreline and Eastlands and no probably nothing really comperes to Eastlands ,on our side of the river other than Hobart CBD, Kingston has more shops now with Channel Court being built up and there are a further 15 shops being developed along with with an extention to Coles Supermarket . There is another shopping area in Kingston Town . So I dont really think that there is a lack of shopping facilities although many people from our side of the river shop at Eastlands and there is another large shopping complex being built near the airport.
As for schools I would say that there is a number of good schools in the Kingborough area Kingston High is being demolished and a new school is being built near the sports centre which according to the reports it is going to be fantastic with it being new. Taroona High is another one, Calvin School, Southern Christian College The private schools are in Sandy Bay ,Fahan, Mount Carmel, and Hutchins for boys. As for the primary schools there are Margate , Blackmans Bay, Kingston, Illawara (Blackmans Bay)Taroona,
Sandy Bay is not in Kingston but is between Hobart, Taroona and Kingston. I suppose it is a little quiet outside of sandy Bays shopping area but it is changing There are a lot of Interstate people moving into Tas from WA and NSW and I think that the shops are changing to provide items that these people are used to and expect . As for Kingston apparently 40% of all new residents to Tasmania settle in the Kingborough area . Because of these figures Kingston is improving just taking a little while.
hope I havent confused you even more
