The Tasmanian Liberal Government has provided more than $580,000 to businesses on the East Coast that have been affected by the recent closure of the Tasman Highway at Paradise Gorge.
Fifty-four applicants have now received funding, providing much-needed support during this unprecedented event.
The Business Hardship – Critical Support Grant Program offered grants to all eligible impacted businesses located south of Lake Leake road along the Tasman Highway to Buckland including the towns of Buckland, Orford, Triabunna, Little Swanport and Swansea.
Businesses that could demonstrate that they are part of the supply chain through the delivery of essential goods and services in and out of the impacted areas were also eligible to apply.

The BBF has reached a new low, advertising for an anti-jobs campaigner to attack Tasmania’s salmon industry that supports thousands of jobs in regional Tasmania.
Fresh from a decisive and embarrassing loss in the High Court where the BBF failed to challenge the validity of the Tasmanian Regional Forest Agreement, the radical protest organisation is turning its sights on aquaculture.
Now they are employing a professional protester to target Tasmania’s hard working salmon industry, whose only job will be to lead a co-ordinated attack on Tasmanian jobs.
As the demand for healthy protein has grown, the Tasmanian Liberal Government has made substantial changes since 2014 to strengthen the oversight and regulation of the salmon industry.
