This is a Budget that has our community at its heart. Our strong economic Community foundations mean we can invest more in wrap-around community services to ensure vulnerable Tasmanians are supported.

During the height of the pandemic, we used our balance sheet as an economic stabiliser, delivering the largest economic and social support package in the nation as a proportion of our economy - at over $1 billion. We will continue to provide temporary and targeted measures over the next two years as the impacts of the pandemic continue.

We are protecting what is special about our state and investing to future-proof our parks and reserves, and to unleash more opportunities for Tasmanians to participate in the recreational pursuits they love.

We will build the intergenerational infrastructure our state needs to thrive, Rebuilding including more homes, better schools, roads, bridges, irrigation systems, as well as a stronger renewable energy assets and health and justice facilities. We’re backing Tasmanian businesses, supporting their recovery and growth, and Tasmania making it easier for them to employ.
