The Tasmanian Government's industry development strategy aims to create optimum conditions for such investment to take place. A crucial element in the conditions that enable investment to flourish is an environment which allows the achievement of sustainable economic and development goals. Micro-economic reform, the clear establishment of development priorities and the streamlining of approval processes are important facets of the industry development strategy and contribute to the establishment of such an environment. DSD can offer new industries in the State, a range of support services that, in other parts of the world, would require contact with many different Government agencies. DSD can appoint a project manager to deal directly with the proponent and to liaise with other State and Commonwealth agencies.
Legislation exists which allows an integrated, consistent and streamlined approval process.
Opportunities Investment opportunities are available within Tasmania's traditional resources-based industry sectors or in new, emerging industries such as aquaculture, information technology and advanced telecommunications.
