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 Trade and Minister for Tourism, Hon Jeremy Rockliff MP;
· Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Hon Michael Ferguson MP;
· Minister for the Arts, Hon Elise Archer MP;

The Department is organised into key areas of: Business and Jobs; Business Services, Cultural and Tourism Development; 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 services from TasTAFE, which assists TasTAFE in offering a broad range of products and services to individuals, industry sectors and enterprises.

5. This project has been transferred from the Department of Communities Tasmania.
6. These initiatives will be delivered by TasTAFE. Refer to chapter 28 of this Budget Paper.
This initiative will continue the work of the AFL Licence Taskforce, aimed at securing the support of the Commission and Presidents for the granting of a Tasmanian AFL and AFLW licence, and to progress the feasibility planning for the infrastructure necessary, including a new sporting and event stadium in Hobart.
This initiative will provide an additional 250 grants for property owners seeking to construct new ancillary dwellings that will be made available for long-term rental.
This initiative will reintroduce mobile speed cameras to Tasmania to detect speeding offences as well as support the capacity to trial and implement mobile phone, seatbelt, and average speed enforcement over time.
This initiative will fund the second year of the Derwent Ferry trial into 2023 and includes funding to support the establishment of an ongoing service between Hobart and Bellerive. The initiative also includes funding to design and build a floating pontoon at Bellerive, as well as redeveloping the Bellerive landside infrastructure to improve all weather passenger amenity and general upgrade of the wharf area.
This initiative will support infrastructure upgrades to the Dial Regional Sports Complex.
This initiative will continue essential upgrades of Glenora Road, an important tourism road providing access to Mt Field National Park and other tourist attractions in the Derwent Valley.
This initiative will support the next stage of scoping and design for the Hobart Transit Centre following the selection of a preferred site. A Hobart Transit Centre will enable changes to Hobart’s passenger transport system required to meet growing commuter transport challenges.
This initiative will support the doubling of the Residential Land Rebate, which provides utility cost rebates to eligible applicants to boost land and housing supply.
This initiative will continue support to Air New Zealand to deliver a direct service between Hobart and Auckland, New Zealand.
This initiative provides funding over two years to support the enhanced role of Infrastructure Tasmania to facilitate the delivery of government infrastructure projects.
This initiative will extend the Job Trainer Fund, providing low or no fee training places for job seekers, school leavers, and young people looking to upskill and re‑train, regardless of prior qualification attainment.
This initiative will support the completion of power network infrastructure upgrades to support the re‑opening of the Dolphin Mine located near Grassy on King Island.
This initiative will continue the management and coordination of the Launceston City Deal and its initiatives as well as other Northern Cities Initiative projects.
This initiative will support Motorsports Tasmania to undertake design and planning for improved infrastructure at Symmons Plains, specifically aimed at increasing commercial utilisation of the site.
The minerals and construction sectors are currently in a phase of strong growth. To help meet the increased demands of industry and other stakeholders, this initiative will support Mineral Resources Tasmania in providing enhanced services and information to the sector.
This initiative supports the construction of the new Bridgewater Bridge. This project is jointly funded with the Australian Government with both parties contributing additional funding. This allocation includes funding for enhanced interchanges at either end of the new bridge and for the demolition of the existing bridge. Building a new Bridgewater Bridge is the biggest transport infrastructure project in Tasmania’s history and will improve safety, reduce travel times and create local jobs. The opening of the new bridge to traffic will be followed by additional civil works to finalise the interchanges at either end of the new bridge to be completed in 2025. Demolition of the existing bridge will occur thereafter.
This initiative will support the development of an indoor multisport facility at Wilkinsons Point that will support community use and provide training facilities for the Tasmania JackJumpers NBL team. This project has been transferred from the Department of Communities Tasmania as part of the 2022‑23 Budget.

This initiative will support the building and construction industry as part of a coordinated effort in workforce development and training to attract more workers to the sector.
This initiative will enhance the experience of customers engaging with the government by providing greater timeframe accountability and opportunities for customers to rate their service experiences.

This initiative will deliver a revised literary awards program designed to support Tasmania’s writing community and bring literature to the forefront of Tasmanian culture, introducing six new categories for literature.
This initiative will assist TMAG in continuing to provide value to Tasmania’s research, cultural, artistic communities, the Tasmanian community and visitors to the State.
This initiative will assist TMAG to continue to develop a strategic vision for a re-imagined cultural and arts facility that supports a pathway to treaty and truth‑telling in consultation with the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, as well as the development of a cultural precinct in the City of Hobart.
This initiative will support the growth and development of Tasmania’s emerging space industry by providing funding to research and development projects that seek to extend, adapt, or develop new technology for the space economy.
This initiative will allow TMAG to continue to open to the public in a manner consistent with public health guidelines while delivering a valuable and rewarding visitor experience.
This initiative will support activities under the Tasmanian Trade Strategy 2019-2025 in four key priority areas: building trade in key sectors; showcasing Tasmania in priority markets; supporting trade logistics and market access; and building the export capabilities of Tasmanian businesses.
During 2021‑22, the Department was restructured in accordance with relevant State Service Restructuring Orders. Refer to chapter 1 of this Budget Paper for further information.
At an output level, the restructures resulted in the following changes:

16. The increase in Industry and Business Development in 2022-23 primarily reflects the rollover of unspent appropriation from 2021‑22 for the Building Projects Support Program, and the additional funding for Headworks Holiday ‑ Doubling Residential Land Rebate.
17. Industry and Business Development includes funding that relates to strategies and activities that are the responsibility of the Minister for Advanced Manufacturing and Defence Industries, the Minister for Science and Technology, the Minister for Small Business and the Minister for Trade.
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 investment for Tasmania and creating jobs. Outcomes of the Office 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: Investment Attraction and Promotion; Major Project Facilitation; Northern Cities; and Red Tape Reduction, which incorporates the role of a Small Business Advocate who assists small businesses trying to resolve issues and disputes with larger organisations.
This Output focuses on maximising growth and job creation through business and industry including:
· the administration of business and skilled migration programs;
· providing a statewide interface to engage with Tasmanian businesses and support the State’s industries to capitalise on their competitive strengths;
· providing a range of services that support the growth of Tasmanian businesses and emerging sectors including support for small to medium business through business development services and tools, and information on starting, running and growing a business; and
· providing a range of targeted international engagement programs and advocacy functions to promote Tasmania including trade support, economic diplomacy, and business and skilled migration facilitation.

Notes:
1. The Annual Red Tape Reduction Report produced and published each year lists red tape issues identified for Government to take action on and reports the progress against these actions.
2. This measure includes investment where the Office of the Coordinator-General has: directly engaged with an entity to promote or support new, or retain, investment in Tasmania; provided investment facilitation services including advice, process identification and navigation, and engagement with linked parties; or provided recommendations to Government resulting in financial or other support to a project.
3. Travel restrictions and border closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have had a significant impact on the international education sector and student numbers nationally. While borders have now reopened, impacts to student numbers are expected to continue in 2022-23 due to a range of factors.
4. Figures include nominations under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) and Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491). The ability to achieve the 2022-23 target will be dependent upon the number of nomination places allocated to Tasmania for the 2022-23 financial year. The nominations are unlikely to be confirmed until early in 2022-23.
5. The value of premium merchandise exports is calculated as total goods exports less iron ores and concentrates.
6. This measure captures the number of advice services and assistance packages, provided by Business Tasmania, Enterprise Centres, Digital Ready and targeted industry-specific grants programs. The 2020‑21 actual outcome reflected a significant increase in enquiries to Business Tasmania in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
7. Satisfaction and outcomes are measured by feedback from the Minister’s Office and, where appropriate, colleagues and clients. The feedback focuses on the quality, relevance, and timeliness of advice.
This Output provides a strategic, coordinated, and statewide approach to the planning and delivery of major infrastructure to support economic growth and Tasmania’s development.
It is achieved through engagement, leadership and innovation, and demonstrating best practice in infrastructure policy, development, planning and delivery including:
· provide independent and objective advice about infrastructure development and reform proposals to the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Treasurer and Cabinet as required, including on legislative and governance reforms;
· in collaboration with industry and government agencies, provide strategic advice and specific infrastructure strategy, planning, procurement, and construction solutions, including the delivery and maintenance of a 10-year infrastructure pipeline and project assurance system;
· demonstrate best practice planning, delivery and outcomes for high-profile and/or major projects as referred to Infrastructure Tasmania by the Tasmanian Government;
· lead government engagement with the transport industry to improve freight and supply chains to address strategic issues and constraints;
· coordinate agency input into statutory land use planning issues;
· develop corridor strategies for major roads across Tasmania, including the consideration of alternative transportation options; and
· support the Transport Commissioner, review and improve transport networks and deliver road management operations.
· providing strategic road safety policy advice, supporting the Road Safety Advisory Council, encouraging community involvement in road safety, delivering road safety projects, and education and awareness programs and administering the School Crossing Patrol Officer program;
· delivery of all registration and licensing services to the Tasmanian community including, but not limited to, developing and maintaining legislation, business policies, practices and procedures, providing information, collection of fees and delivering services relating to the registration of vehicles and licensing of drivers; and
· developing, encouraging, and enforcing compliance with state‑based regulations for roadworthiness, vehicle standards, dimensions and mass limits, loading and operation of vehicles; and undertaking management of approved inspection station schemes.
This Output manages the regulation and delivery of passenger transport services that support the efficient, equitable and safe movement of people, including the administration of targeted transport assistance schemes and subsidies for students, the unemployed, aged pensioners and persons living with a disability, with a focus on:
· the sustainable delivery of passenger transport services;
· administering contracts for the delivery of regular passenger transport services across the state; and
· initiatives to support the uptake of passenger transport, particularly where transport congestion is an emerging issue.

Notes:
1. This is a new performance measure. The 10‑Year Infrastructure Pipeline is now being published through an online database. The information is gathered from the asset owners, including Tasmanian government agencies, government businesses, relevant statutory authorities, local government and also includes a number of known major private sector projects.
2. This is a new performance measure. Tier 1 projects are those assessed under the Infrastructure Tasmania Project Assurance Framework as being ‘High Risk, High Value’ projects, following a weighted risk score matrix and risk criteria.
3. This measure has been amended to apply only to speed limit reviews on the state road network. A different process is applied to requests for speed limit changes on local government roads, therefore future results will not be comparable to previously reported figures. This measure is calculated from the date a request is made to undertake a speed limit review to the date the technical review is completed.
4. This is a new performance measure. The Department is working towards the goal of having a road corridor strategy in place for every state road in Tasmania as part of its strategic approach to transport planning.
5. This is a new performance measure. The statutory timeframe for responding to heavy vehicle access permit applications under section 156 of the Heavy Vehicle National Law is 28 days.
6. Satisfaction and outcomes are largely measured by feedback from the Minister’s Office, Secretary, relevant Deputy Secretary and, where appropriate, colleagues and clients.
7. This data is based on four automatic number plate recognition cameras installed on transport safety vehicles, with a target of collecting 50 000 images per month.
8. This is a new performance measure. Serious casualties include road fatalities and road serious injuries (admitted to hospital for 24 hours or longer).
9. This is a measure of the effectiveness of government strategies to ensure that the average age of buses on government contracted services is appropriate. This target reflects that the average bus age varies over the duration of bus contracts. The lowest average bus age is generally at the commencement of contracts due to incentives for the purchase of newer fleet vehicles, with the average age then increasing over the course of the contract.
10. This is a new performance measure. Network reviews are an important way for the Department to ensure that General Access bus services are fit for purpose and being delivered in the most efficient manner. This measure includes reviews of both trial and existing services, with reviews varying in size and complexity (classified as minor, moderate and major).
11. This is a new performance measure that will be based on operator reporting of the number of dropped trips. It should be noted that there are a number of different reporting requirements in place. As a result, it is proposed to report for operators individually for a 12-month period. In the future, accuracy is likely to improve with the introduction of common ticketing and real‑time information. The 2021-22 target of 95 per cent is an acknowledgement of the impact to services of the COVID‑19 pandemic and issues relating to driver shortages.
12. This is a new performance measure, and reporting on this measure will commence in 2022-23. The timeliness of responding to customers about maintenance requests on state roads is a key measure of our success in meeting customer needs. Depending on the nature of the maintenance request, the prescribed timeframes differ.
Skills Tasmania is responsible for:
· managing Tasmania’s publicly funded training and workforce development system, to support the Government’s vision for a high-quality system that is accessible, responsive and job focused;
· directing Government subsidies to training and support that is aligned with identified industry needs and that delivers positive employment outcomes for learners;
· working with industry to facilitate partnerships and to support workforce development activities that assist Tasmanian enterprises to attract and retain skilled workers;
· managing Tasmania’s apprenticeship and traineeship system; and
· providing strategic advice in relation to TasTAFE and engaging with the Australian, state and territory governments on national policy and funding matters relating to skills and training.
Jobs Tasmania is responsible for:
· working with and across governments, the community, and businesses to increase employment outcomes, workforce participation and re-engagement with work, education or training for all Tasmanians; and
· establishing the Regional Jobs Hub Network and a range of complementary employment and participation programs that support job seekers in gaining meaningful work opportunities and connect businesses to a job ready workforce.

Notes:
1. The data for VET graduates employed after training is sourced from National Centre for Vocational Education Research Limited Student Outcomes Survey 2021, released in December 2021. This data relates to government funded VET graduates (qualification completers) from 2020.
2. The data for government funded VET graduates (qualification completers) with improved employment status after training is sourced from NCVER Student Outcomes Survey 2021, released in December 2021. Improved employment status after training, is employment status changing from not employed before training to employed after training, or employed at a higher skill level after training, or received a job-related benefit as reported by the graduate.
3. Apprentice/trainee in training represents the number of Tasmanian apprentice and trainees undertaking training as at 30 June. The 2021-22 target is updated to reflect additional activity resulting from post-COVID-19 subsidy programs. Figures are sourced from Skills Tasmania internal data as at March 2022.
This Output facilitates mineral exploration and mining development and fosters and encourages responsible land management in Tasmania, with a focus on:
· improving the quality and quantity of geoscience information, essential to the encouragement of mineral exploration and responsible land management;
· promoting Tasmania nationally and internationally as being highly prospective for mineral exploration and mining through targeted and strategic marketing; and
· providing information for sustainable land use planning and infrastructure development decisions through activities such as geohazard mapping, resource identification to protect against sterilisation and management and rehabilitation of abandoned mining lands.
This Output also ensures the responsible management of Tasmania’s mineral resources and a fair and sustainable return to the community when a resource of metallic, construction, industrial and fuel minerals or geothermal energy is developed.

Notes:
1. Satisfaction and outcomes are measured by feedback from the Minister’s Office, Secretary, relevant Deputy Secretary and, where appropriate, colleagues and clients. The feedback focuses on the quality, relevance and timeliness of advice.
2. Statistics are derived from the three quarters of each financial year from ABS exploration data.
3. The definition of modern remote sensing data and mapping is defined as data created from 1996 onwards.
4. The planned area for the collection of new remote sensing data has changed significantly since the target for 2021-22 was first set.
The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery is the state museum and art gallery with a Tasmania-wide remit. This Output aims to share unique stories that exhilarate and provoke, by connecting art, science, culture, and the environment. TMAG creates opportunities that enable participation, reflection, learning, dialogue, and debate. Its strategic objectives are to: be accessible to the Tasmanian and global community; tell unique stories that exhilarate and provoke through strong collections; and have engaged and involved communities by enabling participation, reflection, learning, and discussion. TMAG plays a key role in positioning Tasmania as a globally significant cultural centre at the edge of the world.
This Output focuses on working with Tasmanian artists and arts organisations to support this important industry. It aims to build the sustainability of arts businesses, broaden the engagement of Tasmanians in the arts and highlight the State’s diverse arts and cultural sector. This result is achieved through a range of industry development programs, initiatives, and projects. This Output includes funding for individual artists, arts organisations, and major Tasmanian cultural institutions to plan and realise projects and to develop and present new work. These projects generate economic activity, create employment opportunities and opportunities for audiences and enhance Tasmania’s reputation as a cultural tourism destination. As a key part of the Government’s ongoing commitment to the preservation of the State’s moveable cultural heritage, this Output also includes investment, funding, and professional assistance to Tasmanian museums (other than TMAG), art galleries and moveable cultural heritage organisations.
This Output aims to build on the success that has occurred in the sector through increased local, interstate and international screen production in this State. It also provides support for professional and project development, and the development of interactive games. In doing so, it seeks to promote Tasmanian talent and stories to a worldwide audience and provide employment and increased economic activity in the State. This Output also aims to position Tasmania as a centre for the creation and development of quality content in the digital media environment as an important part of the growing creative industries sector.
This Output aims to support and sustain a strong hospitality and events sector across the State, maximising the value and return on investment of events supported by the Government, and managing key industry partnerships that support development of the supply side of the visitor economy. Hospitality investment aims to support industry development through the provision of strategic advice and the development and administration of partnerships and programs. For events, the aim is to develop a seasonally balanced portfolio that brings people to Tasmania; gets people moving around the State; encourages positive conversation about Tasmania; creates job opportunities; benefits communities through economic stimulus; and makes Tasmania the boutique events capital of Australia. This Output includes oversight of Princes Wharf No.1 Shed, a key event venue on the Hobart waterfront.
This Output provides strategic advice, funding, and industry development programs, while also developing key partnerships that support the supply‑side opportunities and challenges of the visitor economy. Actions are guided by T21 as a well‑established partnership between government and industry through the T21 Visitor Economy Action Plan and includes collaboration across government to progress priority projects through policy, and program development and delivery.

Notes:
1. TMAG total visitors represent the combined number of visits made across the TMAG sites. The new target for 2022-23 indicates a growth in attendance, though not to pre-COVID-19 levels. This is due to the slow re-emergence of attendee and participant confidence.
2. 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.
3. The decrease for 2020‑21 reflects the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of the Safe Events and Activities in Tasmania Framework, which places caps on capacity numbers depending on a risk approach as outlined in the plan. The target for 2022-23 is reflective of a non-Ten Days on the Island festival year, and remerging confidence in cultural attendees post the COVID-19 pandemic.
4. Contribution to the 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. Prior year actual figures are revised in accordance with: Cat.5220.0 Table 7 ‑ Expenditure, Income and Industry Components of Gross State Product, Column EU, Row 41 = $372 million, multiplied by Arts factor (SWG figure) of 37.2 per cent = $138.38 million. 2021‑22 figure is the target, as ABS figures are to be released on 19 November 2022. The updated historical figures incorporate new and revised national estimates that reflect changes in methods, concepts, classifications and data sources to maintain a consistent time series. The projected increase for 2022-23 is based on a return to more regular programming and cultural activity, with the likely removal of emergency government support and small museum sector and volunteer capacity returning.
5. Attendance figures from Administered Outputs and identified Special Projects in State Budget Papers. The reduction in 2020‑21 was due to the combined impact of the Theatre Royal/Hedberg redevelopment and the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on venue availability and audience capacity. It is anticipated there will be a return to more regular programming and cultural activity and the return of confidence in ticket buying patrons. In 2022-23 the Hedberg will also return to full capacity.
6. Number of Tasmanian artists, arts workers and museum-workers employed on paid engagements in approved applications during the financial year. This total also includes a 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 ratio 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 spend 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.
This Output contributes to the construction of streets as provided under the Local Government (Highways) Act 1982 and the Local Government Act 1993.
Table 11.8 provides financial information for the Department’s Capital Investment Program. More information on the Capital Investment Program is provided in chapter 6 of The Budget Budget Paper No 1.

This is an important change that has occurred, which provides greater certainty for both the construction industry and the Department. These programs include:
· Freight Capacity Upgrade Program;
· Great Eastern Drive;
· Greater Hobart Traffic Solution;
· Launceston and Tamar Valley Traffic Vision;
· Northern Roads Package;
· Roads of Strategic Importance;
· South East Traffic Solution;
· State Road Upgrades ‑ North West and West Coast Region;
· State Road Upgrades ‑ Northern Region;
· State Road Upgrades ‑ Southern Region; and
· Urban Congestion Fund.

Notes:
1. The decrease in Appropriation revenue ‑ operating in 2022‑23 reflects the completion of existing Budget initiatives, fixed‑term COVID‑19 related funding and 2021 election commitments.
2. The variation in Grants reflects the cash flow of Australian Government funding, largely relating to the Roads Program.
3. The increase in Interest primarily reflects the activities of Tasmania Development and Resources in administering loan schemes.
4. The decrease in Other revenue reflects the finalisation of the reimbursement of costs associated with the MyState Bank Arena Upgrade from the Department of Communities Tasmania in 2021‑22.
5. The increase in Employee benefits in 2022‑23 primarily reflects the impact of 2021 election commitments and the additional funding for Infrastructure Tasmania Operational Funding.
6. The increase in Supplies and consumables primarily reflects additional funding for Strategic Freight Routes ‑ Maintenance.
7. The decrease in Grants and subsidies reflects the completion of existing Budget initiatives and 2021 election commitments.
8. The decrease in Borrowing costs primarily reflects the cash flow of 2021 election commitments including Supporting Jobs at INCAT, and Building and Construction Support Loan Scheme.

Notes:
1. The variation in this item reflects the transfer of the grant responsibility to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania.
2. The decrease in Marine and Safety Tasmania in 2022-23 reflects the completion of funding for the Bridport Foreshore and the Cygnet Jetty initiatives.
3. The variation in West Coast Wilderness Railway reflects the funding profile of previous Budget initiatives.
This funding provides allowances to parents and guardians of students who do not have access to government-subsidised public passenger transport services for travel to and from school as well as residents of the Bass Strait Islands to assist with the cost of flights and ground travel to mainland Tasmania to access education.
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 funding supports Marine and Safety Tasmania in carrying out its functions of managing the Tasmanian Government’s non‑commercial marine facilities and Tasmania’s marine regulatory environment.
This funding supports local government for loss of revenues from heavy vehicles following the abolition of local heavy vehicle road tolls in favour of national heavy vehicle charges.
This funding supports aged pensioner residents of the Bass Strait Islands with a 50 per cent concession on one return airfare from their Island residence to Northern Tasmania each financial year.
This funding supports Tasmanian Railway Pty Ltd to manage, maintain and operate the Tasmanian rail network and also provides for essential annual maintenance of rolling stock assets.
Ten Days on the Island is a biennial statewide arts festival celebrating Tasmania’s unique identity and island culture. The Government will continue to support Ten Days on the Island to deliver a festival of excellence with a particular focus on regional Tasmania.
Established in 1837, the Theatre Royal is Australia’s oldest continually operating theatre. The Government’s commitment to funding the Theatre Royal recognises the theatre’s significant role in Tasmanian history, as an integral venue for the performing arts in Tasmania, and foundational to the recent Hedberg development.
This funding supports taxi fare concessions and subsidies for eligible persons with permanent disabilities or medical conditions that significantly restrict their personal mobility.
This funding supports capital works and the maintenance of the West Coast Wilderness Railway as an iconic West Coast attraction that helps attract visitors to the region.
