The wine industry is a significant contributor to Tasmania’s economy, with a rich history and a growing reputation for producing high-quality wines. The government’s budget commitment to invest 1.5 million over three years is a strategic move to further strengthen this sector.

The hub will focus on researching and developing cool climate varieties, with a particular emphasis on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The remaining $1.05 million will be allocated to a range of projects aimed at improving the wine industry’s sustainability. These projects will focus on reducing water usage, improving energy efficiency, and minimizing waste. The Tasmanian government believes that these initiatives will not only benefit the wine industry but also contribute to the state’s overall sustainability goals.

We are committed to ensuring that Tasmania remains a strong and vibrant place to live, work, and grow. Our plan includes a focus on the agricultural sector, recognizing its importance to our economy and community. The Tasmanian Government is committed to supporting our growers and makers through the 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future. This comprehensive strategy aims to ensure Tasmania remains a strong and vibrant place to live, work, and grow.
