Regional Economic Development Plan North West Tasmania

The Plan focuses on the following levers that government
can influence to facilitate economic development:

• Infrastructure
• Skills
• Business enabling environment
• Access to finance
• Investment attraction, facilitation and retention
• Trade promotion, branding and marketing
• Business development services
• Facilitation, information exchange and collaboration 2.

The Plan consists of the following three parts:
1. The key assets of and opportunities for the region,
leading to a regional economic, social and environmental
context that describes the people and places that make
up the region, and its performance.

2. A vision, followed by:
a) Current actions that are already planned, committed
and funded. These are organised under the four
goals of the Economic Development Plan. Further
organisation occurs under the lever headings above.
b) Suggested actions that will be evaluated, prioritised
and, where appropriate, implemented by
government.

3. Sectoral profiles for each of the priority industry sectors
that are the focus of the Plan. These profiles provide a
snapshot of those sectors and outline the constraints
acting to hinder the growth of each sector, as well as the
opportunities for accelerating their growth at a regional
level.
