March (various dates)
The Tamar Estuary Management Taskforce (TEMT), an advisory body to the Tasmanian Government, are currently developing an ‘Infrastructure and Amenities Master Plan’ for the Kanamaluka/Tamar. The Master Plan will provide TEMT with a framework to guide the delivery of cultural and recreational precincts to the public use and foreshore areas of the Kanamaluka/Tamar. The aim of the Master Plan is to revitalise the waterfront, bringing people to the water’s edge and connecting key areas of Launceston. The feedback from the community, businesses and other stakeholders will be essential in shaping the final Master Plan.
TEMT are running targeted sessions for businesses at the following times:
