Submissions invited for new Tasmanian event

Submissions invited for new Tasmanian event
July 11, 2020

The Tasmanian Government and the City of Hobart are seeking submissions from experienced event organisers to run a new end of year food and beverage celebration over the Christmas and New Year period.

Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein said ideas are being sought to support Tasmanian suppliers and producers, reinvigorate the vibrant atmosphere of Hobart and offer something that is uniquely Tasmanian.

Premier Gutwein notes “COVID-19 has challenged us in so many ways, but it also means we have to challenge our thinking on how to respond.  Hospitality and events are key economic drivers, and so we are looking at identifying truly Tasmanian concepts that we can turn into reality, that will help reinvigorate Hobart and celebrate the quintessential produce we are so very proud of.”

Tasmanian Minister for Small Business, Hospitality and Events Sarah Courtney advises “we are world renowned for offering some of the most innovative and bespoke event experiences and I look forward to seeing the creative concepts that will be put forward as part of the submission process."

Hobart Lord Mayor Anna Reynolds said the City was pleased to be working closely with Government to deliver an event that would celebrate Tasmanian food and beverages, the end of the year and the strong community spirit in Hobart.

Lord Mayor Reynolds adds “this year is probably the most challenging that many of us have experienced.

“We are hopeful this submission process will draw out some exciting and innovative ideas for a fitting celebration on Hobart’s waterfront.”

“Coming together at the end of the year to celebrate our wonderful local Tasmanian fare will be an important step in our community’s recovery."

Submissions close 31st July 2020.
