The Tasmanian majority Liberal Government will always protect those things that are intrinsically Tasmanian and set us apart from the rest of the world.
Our beautiful State’s rich and diverse heritage is an integral part of our way of life and is treasured by Tasmanian communities and admired by visitors.
Conserving, protecting and re-imagining our heritage listed places is vital to ensuring their longevity and the future success of our tourism and hospitality industry, and it is critical that we move to protect these assets and create vibrant experiences that respond to local and visitor expectations.
Today our Government was delighted to announce that, from 2023 onwards, we will invest $1.5 million a year from the increased revenues from Hotels and Clubs that the Future Gaming Policy delivers to support and revitalise our unique heritage places.
We will also ensure the Heritage Places Renewal Loans Scheme is available to the National Trust to continue their important work to conserve our built and natural heritage.
