The Acting Premier Bryan Green will meet the King Island Council and local community tomorrow following the decision to close the island's abattoir.

Mr Green will be accompanied by senior Government officials to assess the impact of the closure.

"This is a major blow to King Island and the Government's immediate focus is on supporting those who will be affected and looking at future opportunities," Mr Green said.

"I want a first-hand understanding of the impacts the closure will have on the community and the broader King Island economy.

"This is a resilient community and the Government will work in partnership with it through these difficult times," Mr Green said.

"I am positive about King Island's future and the Government will do whatever it can to help facilitate opportunities that will provide employment and support the local economy," Mr Green said.
