President of SCRRA Gloria Lonergan said it has been a pleasure to work with the members on the project. “We are very excited to present it to the community on this particular weekend, which is when the Middleton Fair would normally be held,” explained Ms Lonergan.

Minister for Arts, the Honourable Elise Archer MP and stars of the series Luke McGregor and Celia Pacquola met on January 21 to make the announcement. “The Tasmanian Government is a strong supporter of our vibrant arts sector,” said Minister Archer. “I am excited to announce our government’s support of the fifth season of the hit, Logie-winning comedy Rosehaven co-creators and lead actors Celia Pacquola (left) and Luke McGregor (right) met with Minister for Arts, the Honourable Elise Archer MP (cen- series Rosehaven, investing $500,000 through Screen tre) to announce their return to southern Tasmania to film a fifth season of the show. (PS) Tasmania towards the production of the new season, scheduled to begin shooting in February.” Filmed entirely in Tasmania, Rosehaven has charmed audiences across the country since its debut in 2016, and has since become one of the ABC’s highest-rating programs. In this season, having defeated the first agent that tried to encroach on McCallum Real Estate’s territory, Daniel (ex-pat Tasmanian Luke McGregor) and Emma (Celia Pacquola) are content for things to go back to normal. But Barbara (Kris McQuade) isn’t, and she forces them to take on more responsibility for the business. Could this be the year she finally retires? Meanwhile Daniel is regretting breaking up with the love of his life and Emma finally gets what she’s always wanted, a Rosehaven-based nemesis. “All in all, it’s Rosehaven as we know and love it and all set in Tasmania,” Minister Archer stated. Rosehaven co-creators and lead actors Celia Pacquola and Luke McGregor spoke of their excitement to be returning for the newest instalment of the hit show. “This is really exciting for us and it hasn’t quite sunk in yet,” Ms Pacquola and Mr McGregor said. “In 2015 we knew we wanted to make a TV show, but we had no idea what to write about and we were extremely worried no one would want to watch whatev- er we came up with. “Now we’re getting to make a fifth season, we will allow our very self-deprecating comedian brains to feel a tiny amount of pride that we’ve made a good thing. “But having written that, we already feel arrogant so we take it back and apologise for getting a big head there for a second. “Thank you to everyone who helped us get here and a huge thank you to Tasmania for being such an awesome state to film in; from the amazing crew and actors we’ve found here, to the beautiful locations and local cuisine we get to eat on the weekends, we wouldn’t want to film any- where else,” Ms Pacquola and Mr McGregor declared. To date, the Tasmanian Government has now invested a total of $2.45 million in all five seasons of Rosehaven, and about 500 Tasamanian cast and crew have found work on the show. In addition, 36 emerging Tasmanian screen practition- ers have also gained valuable experience and skills working on the production through training attachments. This year, the production is attaching emerging Tasmanian director Michael O’Neill (Australia’s Best Street Racer, Small Town Drifter). Mr O’Neill will get the opportunity to learn first-hand from the Rosehaven director Jonathan Brough, furthering his professional development within the film industry. Season five of Rosehaven will be in production for seven weeks across southern Tasmania, employing over 70 Tasmanian cast and crew members, and filming is expect- ed to generate over $2 million in the local economy. The announcement follows the recent launch of the Tasmanian Government’s Cultural and Creative Industries Recovery Strategy, which focuses on supporting the arts sector as it recovers from COVID-19 and beyond. “Our ongoing commitment to Tasmanian screen pro- duction has enabled the screen industry to strengthen its capacity to develop new stories and service productions on the scale of Rosehaven, ensuring Tasmania’s unique stories, landscapes and people continue to intrigue, engage and entertain audiences around the world,” Minister Archer said. “Screen production has proven itself to be very COVID- Safe, and this was evident at today’s Rosehaven rehearsal at the Theatre Royal. “It is a natural fit for a responsible industry like screen production to seek to work in a COVID-Safe environment like Tasmania. “I’d like to particularly thank production companies Guesswork Television and What Horse, and the show’s producers Luke McGregor, Celia Pacquola, Kevin Whyte and Andy Walker. “I also acknowledge the ongoing and substantial sup- port the ABC and Film Victoria has provided the Rosehaven production,” concluded Minister Archer. 8 – KINGBOROUGH CHRONICLE TUESDAY, 2 FEBRUARY 2021 Australia Day

Pam married Bob in 1935, during the great depression. The union survived Bob’s absence on active service during the anxious days of the Second World War, pro- duced four children and only ended with Bob’s early death at age 63. Pam had vases of flowers in every room in the house, grown for her by Bob. They were my parents and part of my great inheritance is gardening.

Call the Kingborough Chronicle on 6229 3655 TUESDAY, 2 FEBRUARY 2021 KINGBOROUGH CHRONICLE – 23 A-League aspirations Kingborough football fans may be able to enjoy a higher level of local involvement in the sport with talk of a Tasmanian A-League team. Premier of Tasmania, the Honourable Peter Gutwein MP and Acting Minister for Sport and Recreation, the Honourable Sarah Courtney MP recently spoke about discussions with Football Tasmania about establishing the team. Premier Gutwein said a Tasmanian franchise would deliver the A-League a truly national competition. “We have seen strong growth in football participation in recent years in Tasmania and the government believes the next logical step is for Tasmania to have an A-League team of its own,” Premier Gutwein remarked. “Any sporting competition is not truly national without Tasmania in it and on the back of entering the NBL later this year, this is our chance to further make our mark on the national sporting stage. “Tasmanians deserve the same opportunity as other states in providing a pathway for elite football in our state and we stand ready to assist however we can as they Milah Hatten was one of the KLAC participants in the U/12 high jump at Gormley Park on Saturday morning. (PS Carolyn Whitehouse) work with A-League management to progress their bid.” Acting Minister Courtney said nearly 40,000 Tasmanians play football, more than any other team sport in the state. “Football has a great future in Tasmania and an A- League team of our own would be another positive step forward in recognising our state as a true national com- petitor,” Acting Minister Courtney said. “Elite level sports are also very important for our events strategy and will help position Tasmania as a destination of choice for visitors. “It will also create significant opportunities to develop our local talent, while creating jobs and providing signif- icant economic benefits to Tasmania.”
