The Tasmanian Government makes no apology for backing local businesses, jobs for Tasmanians and congestion busting infrastructure work that is already underway.
Tasmanian firm Hazell Bros has an approved development application for works at the Hobart Airport Interchange, which they are currently working on.
The interchange is fully funded and has the support of all three tiers of government, as well as planning approval from the Clarence City Council.
The Tasmanian Government will not use taxpayers’ money wastefully and unnecessary when the potential developers have already been given additional access to the highway.
It is appropriate the matter be concluded in the Resource Management and Planning Appeal Tribunal between Hazell Bros and the appellants.
The project remains on track for completion in mid-2022.
