I am pleased the Government House Land Amendment Bill 2017 has passed the Legislative Council.
The Bill will allow Government House the capacity to undertake revenue-raising activities that are in keeping with the status of the site.
For some time Government House has been investigating ways in which it can connect with the community and make the site more accessible to more people. Government House’s Forward Plan 2015-2025 outlines a number of extra activities to be undertaken at Government House to enhance general public interaction with the site as well as opportunities for co-hosting events that are approved by Government House.
All revenues raised will go directly towards the ongoing maintenance of the site.
Government House is a key part of our history, and this Bill will provide more community engagement opportunities between Government House and the people of Tasmania.
