Mine sale a boost for West Coast jobs and business confidence in Tasmania

The proposed sale of the Avebury Mine is a major confidence boost for the West Coast.  It will create jobs and boost business confidence right around the State.

The West Coast has been doing it tough recently and this is the sort of good news that will be felt right through the community.

The Liberal Government will continue working with the West Coast community and honour our commitments to provide special assistance in the wake of the tragic deaths at the Mt Lyell mine.

As part of a united, stable majority Liberal Government I will work tirelessly to unlock the potential in Tasmania's resources sector so that we can grow the economy and create jobs, not just for the West and North West Coasts, but for the entire State.
