Building your Future – 100 days of delivery

In March, Tasmanians overwhelming voted for a majority Liberal Government with a comprehensive plan to take Tasmania to the next level.

Today, I can confirm that my Government has met every single one of the commitments we said we would deliver in the first 100 days since being sworn in for our second term.

In this time, we have delivered the 2018-19 Budget which confirms operating surpluses this year and every year across the forward estimates, with record investments in health, education and infrastructure.

Our Budget also details how the Government will deliver on our election commitments, in full and on time.

Since the resumption of Parliament, we have passed legislation to restructure the Tasmanian Health Service and deliver a suite of tax relief initiatives.

Joint State and Commonwealth funding has been secured for major projects, including the $576 million for the Bridgewater Bridge and almost $90 million for the Cradle Mountain precinct.

The Government has reached an historic agreement with TasWater and LGAT to reform and improve the State’s water and sewerage, reducing forecast price increases and accelerating upgrades.

Work has begun on Tasmania’s first Trade Strategy and we are reviewing our family violence laws to ensure we continue to offer the greatest protection possible for Tasmanian families at risk.

Funding has been brought forward to deliver Stage I and II of our Affordable Housing Strategy, representing the largest investment in affordable housing ever by a Tasmanian Government.

Tasmania is a much stronger, prouder and more confident place, but we know there is more to do.

Our Plan to Build Your Future builds on the momentum to take Tasmania to the next level.
