Transforming Lives. Transforming Cities. a Partnership Proposal to Deliver an Education-Driven Revitalisation of Northern Tasmania Transforming lives. Transforming cities. A partnership proposal to deliver an Education-Driven Revitalisation of Northern Tasmania University of Tasmania | utas.edu.au | March 2016 Education-Driven Economic Revitalisation of Northern Tasmania The Education-Driven Economic Revitalisation of Northern Tasmania project is a partnership initiative between the University of Tasmania, the Tasmanian State Government, TasTAFE, the City of Launceston Council, the Burnie City Council and the Cradle Coast Authority. The Education-Driven Economic Revitalisation of Northern Tasmania project presents a transformative investment proposal which addresses critical economic and community challenges facing the North and North- West of the State. Fundamentally, this project will increase the number of Tasmanians in higher education (to approach national participation averages) through more attractive and accessible programs and campuses. Investment in the Education-Driven Economic Revitalisation of Northern Tasmania project recognises the importance of education, science, innovation and technology to the future prosperity and resilience of Australia’s regional economies. The project will act as an economic stimulus to northern Tasmanian cities that will, in turn, contribute a lasting boost in regional and statewide productivity. Strong partnership at all levels of Government, with the community and with industry forms the foundation for the project’s success. On behalf of the project partners, the University of Tasmania presents the Education- Driven Economic Revitalisation of Northern Tasmania project to the Commonwealth Government seeking partnership and funding support to enable the realisation of this important economic revitalisation initiative. This proposal follows a presentation to the Joint Commonwealth and Tasmanian Economic Council in August 2015.

Introduction The Department of Primary Industry in 1989 commenced a Land Capability Survey of Tasmania at a scale of 1:100 000. The primary aim of the survey is to identify and map the location and extent of different classes of agricultural land, in order to provide an effective base for land use planning decisions. In addition, the aim is to ensure that the long-term productivity of the land is maintained, through the promotion of compatible land uses and management practices. A land capability classification system has been developed specifically for Tasmania comprising seven classes, and is based on the capability of the land to support a range of agricultural uses on a long-term sustainable basis.
