Investment boost on the East Coast

The Liberal Government is committed to growing our tourism industry to 1.5 million visitors per year by 2020.

As part of this commitment the Liberals will provide $3 million to assist the development of the Solis Louisville Golf Course.

The Solis Louisville development languished under the Labor-Green Government. Our commitment will provide $1.5 million in both 2015-16 and 2016-17 to fund public infrastructure costs which have left the project stagnant.

In more good news for the East Coast, the Federal Government today committed to support Tasmanian salmon producer Tassal's construction of a fish by-product processing facility near Triabunna.

The job creating plant is expected to create 30 jobs during construction and 20 jobs once operational. The plant is a welcome development for the Triabunna region which has been severely affected by the closure of the Triabunna Woodchip Mill.

The Federal Government's $3.85 million support is part of the $106 million Tasmanian Jobs Package.

The Liberal Government remains committed to keeping Tasmania open for business.
