Although its location became primarily the site of a Hobart City Council depot, some remnants and archaeological remains of the original Zoo can still be seen.

[1][2][3] National Threatened Species Day has been held annually since 1996 on 7 September in Australia, to commemorate the death of the last officially recorded thylacine.

[1] This zoo, which included a breeding programme for Tasmanian devils, rehabilitated the image of native animals and attracted scientific interest in them.

[8] In March 1922, the Hobart City Council advertised for a curator to care for the Beaumaris zoological collection still housed on the Roberts property.

[9] On the evening of 27 March the Hobart City Council Reserves Committee held a meeting to consider the applicants for the curator's position.

[10] Arthur Reid, the new curator who had been born in Edinburgh, Scotland, had emigrated to Tasmania at the age of 21, and had been an avid naturalist since boyhood.

Reid was tasked to inspect the various enclosure designs, zoological collections, and gain experience in the management methods of these facilities.

[12] In July the Reserves Committee received a report from Curator Reid, after an article in the Illustrated Tasmanian Mail (22 June 1922) alleged poor animal welfare amongst those housed at the Roberts property at Battery Point.

[13] During late August a large wedgetail eagle, caught in a rabbit trap, was captured in Pyengana, Tasmania by a representative of the Nestlé Milk Company.

An echidna, wallabies, possums, eagles and more Tasmanian devils were also donated by members of the public and added to the collection still housed at Battery Point.

The plan was to have the enclosure viewable from both above and below, with a moat at the front, and concrete walls on the sides, some 40 feet wide with a den area attached.

The animals were transferred from the old Beaumaris property at Battery Point, to the new zoological facility by the Hobart City Council at the rehabilitated quarry site at the Queen's Domain,[1][21] on 1 February 1923.

[24] The animals were recaptured on 17 February after Curator Reid built a box trap baited with lambs heart, and left it near the culvert where the pair had been hiding.

The site was acquired by the Royal Australian Navy and converted into a fuel storage depot for the nearby HMAS Huon shore base.

[28] Proposals as late as 2003 for future uses of the site included a sculpture park for Tasmanian artists and a wildlife rehabilitation centre.
