The Department of State Growth’s role is to enable and support economic growth and facilitate the creation of jobs and opportunities for Tasmanians. In doing so, the Department has five key objectives:
· work with Tasmanian businesses and industry to support strategic growth and job creation;
· grow and support Tasmania’s visitor economy;
· contribute to Tasmania’s brand as the best place in the country to live, work, invest and raise a family;
· strategically develop our infrastructure and transport systems to support industry and business growth and our community; and
· build organisational capacity by working collaboratively and developing our people, safety, systems and culture.
The Department provides portfolio support to the following Ministers:
· Minister for Tourism, Hon Peter Gutwein MP;
· Minister for Advanced Manufacturing and Defence Industries, Hon Jeremy Rockliff MP;
· Minister for State Growth, Hon Roger Jaensch MP;
· Minister for Skills, Training and Workforce Growth and Minister for Hospitality and Events, Hon Sarah Courtney MP;
· Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for State Development, Construction and Housing, and Minister for Science and Technology, Hon Michael Ferguson MP;
· Minister for the Arts, Hon Elise Archer MP;
· Minister for Trade, Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction and Minister for Resources, Hon Guy Barnett MP; and
· Minister for Small Business, Hon Jane Howlett MLC.
The Department is organised into key areas of: Business and Jobs; Business Services, Cultural and Tourism Development; Renewables Tasmania; Resources, Strategy and Policy; and Transport and Infrastructure. The Department also supports the Office of the Coordinator‑General.
State Growth works collaboratively and in partnership with other Government departments to achieve growth in the Tasmanian economy. In delivering services to Tasmania and growing our State, we are client centric, collaborative, values based, results driven, innovative and creative, adaptable and agile, efficient and welcome and support diversity in our organisation.
The Government, through the Department, purchases Vocational Education and Training (VET) services from TasTAFE, which assists TasTAFE in offering a broad range of products and services to individuals, industry sectors and enterprises. The Government will introduce legislation in the 2021 Spring Session of Parliament to establish TasTAFE as a new not‑for‑profit government business that provides VET services that benefit the Tasmanian economy, builds the productivity of the Tasmanian workforce and provides effective pathways for students into work.
This chapter provides the Department’s financial information for
2021‑22 and over the Forward Estimates (2022‑23 to 2024‑25).
Further information on the Department is provided at www.stategrowth.tas.gov.au.

The Office of the Coordinator‑General is Tasmania’s principal entity to attract and support investment in the State. The activities of the Office are a fundamental element to the Government’s agenda of promoting and attracting investment for Tasmania and creating jobs. Outcomes of the Office of the Coordinator‑General are achieved for clients and for Tasmania by working collaboratively across the broader Department of State Growth, other state and Australian Government agencies, statutory authorities and local government. The Office operates broadly across four interconnected areas including Investment Attraction and Promotion, Major Project Facilitation, the Northern Cities Major Development Initiative and Red Tape Reduction, which incorporates the role of a Small Business Advocate who assists small businesses trying to resolve disputes with larger organisations.
The Industry and Business Development Output:
· focuses on maximising growth and job creation through business and industry, including the administration of business and skilled migration programs. The Output provides a statewide interface to engage with Tasmanian businesses and supports the State’s industries to leverage their competitive strengths;
· provides a range of services that support the growth of Tasmanian businesses. This includes support for small business through business development services and tools, and information on starting, running and growing a business; and
· includes a range of international engagement functions to promote economic growth including: trade support; economic diplomacy; and business and skilled migration facilitation.
Skills Tasmania is responsible for:
· managing Tasmania’s publicly funded training and workforce development system, directing Government training subsidies to training that is relevant to key industries; supporting innovation and economic growth; and delivering positive employment outcomes;
· developing policy and strategy relating to skills and workforce development. This work has two key components: facilitating the delivery of high quality vocational education and training by TasTAFE and other Registered Training Organisations; and working with industry to support workforce development activities that assist Tasmanian enterprises to attract and retain the skilled workers they need to grow; and
· managing the regulation of apprenticeships and traineeships, providing support services to RTOs and for the overall management and performance monitoring of the Tasmanian training system.
Jobs Tasmania is responsible for:
· partnering with communities to remove barriers to employment, training and workforce participation; and
· rollout of the Regional Jobs Hub Network and a range of complementary initiatives that will support employment outcomes for Tasmanian job seekers, those that want to get back in the workforce and employers who are looking for workers.

Notes:
1. 2020‑21 Targets have not been updated as actual data was not available to the Department in time for the preparation of 2021‑22 Budget Papers. Actual data will be published in the Agency’s annual report, which will be published by 31 October 2021.
2. TMAG Total Visitors represents the combined number of visits made across the TMAG sites.
3. Total Visitor Engagement represents the visitation and engagement across both physical and digital platforms and includes all visits to museum sites; visits to TMAG websites measured in sessions; social media engagement across all platforms; and visits to TMAG programming taking place at other sites.
4. Contribution to Gross State Product of selected arts industries is taken from the annual ABS publication 5220.0 Australian National Accounts: State Accounts released each year in November. The 2020‑21 figure is a target, as ABS data is not available until 19 November 2021. The updated historical figures used in Table 11.7 incorporate new and revised national estimates that reflect changes in methods, concepts, classifications and data sources and to maintain consistent time series.
5. Attendance figures from Administered Outputs and identified Special Projects in State Budget Papers. Reductions are due to the combined impact of the Theatre Royal/Hedberg redevelopment and the impact of COVID‑19 restrictions on venue availability and audience capacity.
6. Number of Tasmanian artists, arts workers and museum‑workers employed on paid engagements in approved applications during the 2020‑21 financial year. Also includes number of works purchased under the COLLECT Art Purchase Scheme.
7. The industry standard ratio for developed projects advancing into production is 10:1. A lower ratio is a better result. The ratio varies due to the time taken by some projects to achieve a production outcome. The KPI is calculated over three years. This may result in previously reported actuals being restated to reflect the final actual position.
8. The calculation of the actual Tasmanian spend leveraged by productions is updated as projects acquit against investments. This may result in previously reported actuals being restated to reflect the final action position.
This Output relates to payments for the provision of services for the Bruny Island Ferry, Furneaux Shipping and King Island Shipping.
This Output relates to the contract funding provided to suppliers of public bus services, including school day only services.
This Output relates to contract payments to suppliers of school bus services.

Notes:
1. The funding profile for the CIP varies significantly from year to year due to the cash flow requirements of specific capital projects.
2. All road project estimates are provided at the P50 level. This is based on the project cost with sufficient contingency to provide a 50 per cent likelihood that this cost will not be exceeded. On this basis, projects are managed at a whole‑of‑program level to achieve a balance in cost estimation.
3. This project includes co‑contribution funding from the Australian Government. For further information, refer to chapter 6 of The Budget Budget Paper No 1.
4. This project includes funding beyond the 2021‑22 Budget and Forward Estimates.
5. This project includes the Australian Government’s commitment to improve safety and efficiency in Australia’s southern‑most local government area.
6. Great Eastern Drive Upgrades includes additional State Government funding.
7. Rokeby Stage 3 ‑ Pass Road to Oakdowns includes the State Government’s and Australian Government’s co‑contribution commitment for important efficiency and safety upgrades in the South Arm locality.
8. This initiative reflects a State Government contribution of $14 million towards a future partnership with the Australian Government for stage two upgrades of the Tasman Highway at the Sideling. Greater Hobart Traffic Solution includes the State Government’s and Australian Government’s co‑contribution commitment for the Tasman Bridge Upgrade.
9. Infrastructure Stimulus Funding will support the undertaking of a number of important road and bridge projects throughout the State and also provide support for the construction industry, including: East Derwent Highway Upgrades; Railton Main Road; Electronic School Zone Signs; Tasman Highway Apsley River Bridge; and Heavy Vehicle Rest Areas. This initiative is funded by the State and Australian Governments.
10. The State Government’s contribution to the Midland Highway is also incorporated into State Road Upgrades ‑ Southern Region and State Road Upgrades ‑ Northern Region.

The Government has committed funding of $13.1 million for rail infrastructure in the 2021‑22 Budget to Tasmanian Railway Pty Ltd, bringing total funding over the Budget and Forward Estimates to $241.6 million. This includes $98.9 million of Australian Government funding.
The total funding includes the remaining Tasmanian Government commitment of $58 million to match the Australian Government contribution to Tranche 3 of the Tasmanian Freight Rail Revitalisation Program. This will provide for upgrades of priority sections of the State’s freight rail network, with all key rail freight corridors benefiting from this investment.

Notes:
1. The increase in Marine and Safety Tasmania in 2021-22 primarily relates to funding for the Bridport Foreshore and the Cygnet Jetty initiatives.
2. The decrease in Ten Days on the Island in 2021‑22 reflects $250 000 brought forward to 2020‑21.
3. The variation in West Coast Wilderness Railway reflects the funding profile of previous Budget initiatives.
The Department administers allowances paid to parents and guardians of students who do not have access to Government subsidised public passenger transport services for travel to and from school. It is intended to assist with the cost of providing private transport to the nearest bus stop or school. Allowances are also paid to residents of the Bass Strait Islands to assist with the cost of flights and ground travel to mainland Tasmania to access education.
This payment represents the Government’s contribution to the Forest Practices Authority. The FPA’s key role is as an independent regulator of Tasmania’s forest practices system. The system regulates the management of forest and threatened non‑forest vegetation on both public and private land.
The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, one of the world’s finest small orchestras, continues to receive State Government support. The TSO plays to audiences throughout the State and its award‑winning recordings are heard throughout the world. A versatile orchestra, the TSO is renowned for its expertise in music of the classical and early romantic periods, and is recognised internationally as a champion of Australian music.
This contribution supports Marine and Safety Tasmania in carrying out its functions of managing the Government’s non‑commercial marine facilities and Tasmania’s marine regulatory environment.
Under the reform measures that abolished local road tolls in favour of national heavy vehicle charges, $1.5 million is provided annually from motor tax receipts to local government to compensate for loss of revenues from heavy vehicles.
Aged pensioner residents of the Bass Strait Islands are entitled to an airfare subsidy when travelling between the Bass Strait Islands and Northern Tasmania. The subsidy is a 50 per cent concession on one return airfare from their Island residence to Northern Tasmania each financial year.
This payment represents the Government’s contribution to Private Forests Tasmania. The role of PFT is to facilitate and expand the development of the private forest resource in Tasmania in a manner that is consistent with sound forest land management practice.
This provision will ensure that permanent timber production zone land continues to be managed and is accessible and available for multiple uses. It includes funding for maintenance of the forestry road network to allow for continued community, tourism and firefighting access management of public recreation sites, provision of forest education activities, special species timber management and ongoing facilitation of forestry research.
This payment represents the Government’s grant contribution to Tasmanian Railway Pty Ltd. The payment allows TasRail to manage, maintain and operate the Tasmanian rail network on a sustainable basis, and also provides for essential annual maintenance of rolling stock assets.
Ten Days on the Island is Tasmania’s premier arts festival. The Government will continue to support Ten Days on the Island to deliver a festival of excellence with a particular focus on regional Tasmania.
The Theatre Royal is Australia’s oldest continually operating theatre. The Government’s commitment in funding the Theatre Royal recognises the Theatre Royal as a significant piece of Tasmania’s history, part of the new Hedberg development and a centre for performing arts presentation.
The Scheme provides for payments to operators of taxis including wheelchair accessible taxis to support fare concessions and subsidies made available to eligible persons with permanent disabilities or medical conditions that significantly restrict their personal mobility.
The West Coast Wilderness Railway is an iconic West Coast
attraction that helps attract visitors to the region and Queenstown. This
funding supports capital works and the maintenance of the Railway’s operations.

4. The increase in Property, plant and equipment in 2022 reflects the estimates for the Derwent Entertainment Centre Upgrade.
