The Tasmanian Government supports the Elphinstone Group and Team Sentinel’s bid for a share of the Commonwealth’s $10 billion LAND 400 project, the ADF’s new light-armoured vehicle.
The Elphinstone Group’s role in the Team Sentinel bid for this major defence contract is a demonstration of Tasmania’s advanced manufacturing capabilities.
The Tasmanian Government has supported the Elphinstone Group and Team Sentinel’s bid for this contract, and will continue to do so.
The Elphinstone Group will provide manufacturing and systems integration services from Tasmania to Team Sentinel in Geelong, should they be successful in securing the contract.
We want to see Tasmania secure a larger share of national defence spending, to support economic growth and create jobs across our state.
This is why we are also supporting the state’s Pacific Patrol Boat bid, and we will release a Defence Industries strategy soon.
The Tasmanian Liberal Government is committed to backing our competitive strengths to create jobs and grow the economy.
