The Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TCCI) is the voice of business in Tasmania and has welcomed Tasmania’s commitment to Marinus Link and the North West Transmission Development. 

 

TCCI CEO, Michael Bailey, said Marinus Link was a game-changer for Tasmania and something the TCCI has been supportive of for many years.

 

“Make no mistake, Marinus Link will be a pivotal moment in the history of Tasmania,” Mr Bailey said.

 

“Marinus will unlock billions of dollars in investment, new energy generation projects and create a jobs pipeline for decades to come.

 

“Hydro-industrialisation helped build and define Tasmania in the 20th century.  Marinus Link will do the same in the 21st century.

 

“Tasmania’s energy generation isn’t keeping up with demand.  Marinus Link will underpin new generation projects and help grow the economy and support businesses around the State that need more energy.

 

“We also welcome the Australian Government’s commitment to this project and its support, which recognises the fact that this is nationally significant infrastructure and therefore Tasmanian taxpayers should only pay their fair share, with the rest of the country making a bigger contribution.”
