Note:
1. The increase in Support for the Governor reflects additional expenditure for 2022‑23 Budget initiatives. A further increase in 2025‑26 reflects planned expenditure for heritage maintenance of Government House funded from revenue raised by the Office.
This Output facilitates the efficient and effective interaction between the Office of the Governor, the Parliament, the Executive, the Tasmanian State Service, the Tasmanian community and Offices of the Governor in other states. This Output also facilitates cooperation between all arms of government and the community to promote the State of Tasmania to a widening range of international guests and other visitors to the State.
The Office will successfully perform this Output by:
· meeting the expectations of the Governor in assisting her to meet her constitutional, legal, ceremonial and community responsibilities;
· meeting the expectations of the Governor and her spouse in the organisation of their official program and the administration of the household; and
·
maintaining the Government House Estate to a high standard.
