The Greens remained opposed to the idea.
If passed by the upper house, the cable car bill will allow a planning application involving public land to go ahead without the consent of Hobart City Council.
The bill seeks to make it easier for a cable car proponent to carry out an assessment of Wellington Park so as to prepare a planning application.
