Mr Nikolic began vacating his St John Street office following his defeat to Mr Hart in Saturday’s federal election.
The office, which recently underwent renovations, was ordered to be upgraded after it failed several occupational health and safety measures.
Mr Hart said he was yet to be formally contacted about the move, with the process unable to begin until his victory was officially recognised by the Australian Electoral Commission.
“I will look at the space sometime soon, but I’m really in no hurry,” Mr Hart said.
Mr Hart said he acknowledged the pain of a political loss and would give Mr Nikolic space to process Saturday’s outcome.
Mr Hart has lodged an application with the Launceston City Council to conduct signage works and minor modifications at the office.
