The TCCI is the voice of business in Tasmania.

 

Each year it produces a ‘Tasmania Report’ that lifts the lid on what’s really happening in Tasmania, the community and the economy.

 

This year, the TCCI is outlining its vision for where it wants to see Tasmania in 2028.

 

TCCI CEO Michael Bailey said it was important to outline and articulate clear and achievable targets that the Government and our political leaders should aspire to.

 

“Tasmania really is at a crossroads,” Mr Bailey said.

 

“What we do now and over the next few years will determine how well our State tackles the challenges that we will face over the next generation.  There are no silver bullets.  We need meaningful, long-term planning with clear targets.

 

“The Tasmania Report – Vision 2028 outlines six key areas: energy; the budget; the economy; education and skills; consultation; and Government Business Enterprises and State-Owned Companies.

 

“Each of these areas is fundamental to our future.  We need our political leaders to say how they will address each of these areas and deliver on each of these targets.  This will require Government between now and 2028 to embark on significant reform – to the budget, the public sector, GBEs, service delivery and the workforce – and will require bold and decisive action.

 

“We will discuss the targets at a lunch in Hobart on Friday, 14 February along with a presentation on the Tasmanian economy from Deloitte’s Cedric Hodges.  There will also be a panel discussion with John Mazengarb (CareSuper), Kath McCann (Tasmania Devils), Damien Bones (Deloitte) and Professor Richard Eccleston (University of Tasmania).

 

“We look forward to discussing the report with community and business leaders at this sold out event.”

 

Mr Bailey said the TCCI would monitor the Government’s performance against each of the targets and provide progress updates to members and the community.
