Community groups, councils and sporting organisations will be supported with commitments to progress important local initiatives under a re-elected majority Liberal Government’s 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future. The commitments will encourage greater community engagement and drive job opportunities, especially in regional areas.
Proponents have engaged with Liberal candidates to support their community projects. Each commitment has undergone a rigorous assessment.
All funding will be subject to approval by both houses of State Parliament.
The approach stands in stark contrast to the Labor party who are making funding commitments via secret correspondence.
Only a re-elected majority Liberal Government will deliver for local communities through its 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future.
