This report is submitted in accordance with Section 11 of the Tasmanian Community Fund Act 2005. During 2006-07, the TCF allocated grants of $4.85 million to 138 projects in two General Grant Rounds, and $287,679 to seven projects in the Tasmanian Aboriginal Heritage targeted round. This brings the total amount allocated by the TCF since 2000 to more than $31 million for 862 projects covering every region in the State. As I am sure you would agree, the TCF is a vital source of funding for community organisations in Tasmania. Yours sincerely Gerald Loughran CHAIRMAN 9 October 2007 GPO Box 1350 Hobart, Tasmania 7001 Telephone (03) 6233 2800 6233 2920 Facsimile (03) 6233 5690 Email: [email protected] Internet: www.tascomfund.org 1 Introduction The Tasmanian Community Fund (TCF) has been providing grants to not-for-profit community organisations since 2000. The TCF was established from the proceeds of the sale of the Trust Bank, as a way of providing an ongoing benefit to the community from the sale of a community asset. Outside of government, the TCF funds the broadest range of projects in the State. A complete list of grant recipients is available on the TCF website at www.tascomfund.org and shows the wide range of community projects and organisations supported by the TCF. In 2006-07, the TCF approved approximately $5.1 million in grants for 145 community groups. This was made up of: • $2.39 million for 76 projects in Grant Round 13; • $2.46 million for 62 projects in Grant Round 14; and • $287,679 to seven projects in the Tasmanian Aboriginal Heritage targeted round. Further information on the projects approved in Grant Rounds 13 and 14 is provided on pages 9-17. The Tasmanian Aboriginal Heritage funding round is set out in more detail at page 8. A list of all grants paid during 2006-07, including some payments for projects approved in earlier grant rounds but paid during this financial year, is on pages 18-20. Some quick facts about the TCF: • TCF has assessed more than 3500 applications for funding requesting a total of $190 million in 14 general grant rounds and three targeted rounds. • Some 862 grants have been approved. • A total of $31,138,648 has been approved for those projects. • 60 per cent of grants have been for amounts under $25,000. • Only two per cent of grants have been for amounts over $200,000. • The number of grants approved in a general grant round ranges from 36 (round four) to 76 (rounds nine and 13). • The total amount funded in a general grant round ranges from $1,549,353 (round four) to $2,562,950 (round 11). Further details for each grant round, and a break-up of funding by funding amount, can be found in the Appendix on pages 28 and 29. Making a difference The Tasmanian Community Fund’s vision is working with Tasmanians to make a difference. Some of the projects in 2006-07 that have made a difference to the lives of Tasmanians are highlighted throughout this annual report. Cerebral Palsy Tasmania Beach Wheelchairs – $21,800 (2006) Cerebral Palsy Tasmania is a statewide organisation that provides assistance and support to people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Cerebral Palsy Tasmania aims to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities and offer a range of services that support children, adolescents and adults to participate fully in the community. Cerebral Palsy Tasmania received funding from the TCF and Connect Community Foundation to buy 12 beach wheelchairs. The funding from the TCF was used to buy four adult wheelchairs and four all-terrain wheelchairs for a beach wheelchair hire program. This project makes beach visits possible for the hundreds of adults and children with disabilities in Tasmania. The beach wheelchairs are available for hire, all year round. One of the beach wheelchairs in use. 2 Chairman’s message The TCF Board has the responsibility and privilege of allocating TCF.

  • Guide to Latrobe and Surrounds
    A GUIDE TO LATROBE AND SURROUNDS Welcome to your Rural Photo by Rick Eaves Professional Experience Placement We understand that undertaking professional experience placement (PEP) away from your home can be both exciting and challenging. It can take a little while to settle into a new environment and find- out about important day to day things such as public transport and the location of relevant services and facilities. This guide is designed to make that transition a little easier by providing some helpful information about the rural region in which you are undertaking your placement. Your rural placement may only be for a short amount of time, or it could be over many months. Regardless of the length of your placement we encourage you to explore the region, become involved in community events and activities that interest you and connect with other students who may be on placement in your area. Undertaking a rural health placement provides many learning opportunities, inside and outside of the practice environment. You never know, you might fall in love with the relaxed lifestyle or beautiful landscapes! In this guide you will find information about: Transport – Getting Around Accessing Medical and Allied Health Care for Yourself Public Holidays Chemists and Pharmacy’s Places to Eat Mental Health Support Shopping and Fuel Stations Disaster Management Markets Student Study Spaces Community Events Local Experiences Entertainment Options Physical Activity and Fitness Creative Pursuits Services 1 Transport – Getting Around Due to the dispersed nature of places in rural and regional Tasmania and large geographical distances between these and the major cities, many people chose to either bring their own car or hire a car if travelling from interstate.

  • Devonport and Burnie Urban Bus Reviews Final Report
    Devonport and Burnie Urban Bus Reviews Final Report 18 November 2017 This page is intentionally blank Executive Summary Phillip Boyle & Associates (PBA) has reviewed the Burnie and Devonport Bus Networks for the Department of State Growth (State Growth). The review is one of many to be conducted across Tasmania and is a key input into bus service improvements planned by the government. The primary objective of each Bus Network Review (BNR) is to develop an efficient bus network that will serve community needs now and into the medium-term future. More specifically, this implies achieving: • Increased patronage • Improved connectivity and accessibility • Improved efficiency of service provision. The two networks were reviewed at the same time, but are distinct from one another. They are separated by 40km and connected by urban fringe bus routes (which serve Penguin, Ulverstone and other towns on the North-West coast). The urban fringe routes have been reviewed internally by State Growth, although this report provides thoughts and improvement options that arose during the process. The ‘urban area’ is defined that those that have a density of over 15 dwellings per hectare. The bus service review was focussed on government objectives of ensuring urban areas are provided with adequate bus services to meet their needs. To ensure a holistic outcome, all routes in the broader study area were considered. However, to keep the scope of detailed analysis manageable, analysis and recommendations are focussed on ‘urban areas’ of Burnie and Devonport (including Somerset and Latrobe). The Burnie urban network consists of 21 routes (with several additional urban fringe routes operating to Penguin, Ulverstone and Wynyard).
