BRANCH UPDATE Ben Shaw NECA TAS Member Manager
Welcome to 2022! I hope the start of the year has been a safe one. The opening of Tasmania’s borders has changed the way we conduct our businesses, bringing both challenges and opportunities. NECA will continue to work closely with you this year, as we navigate the new environment.
A positive end to 2021 Towards the end of last year, NECA held end-of-year industry luncheons in both Launceston and Hobart. The events were well-attended, with Ministers Guy Barnett, Felix Ellis and Michael Ferguson delivering updates on the Tasmanian Government’s sustainable energy project and business incentive program. Attendees were also entertained by guest speakers Jack Riewoldt and Alistair Lynch, who shared some of the highlights from their sporting careers.

Government and policy NECA continues to work with the Tasmanian Government on issues affecting our industry, and we will update members through our bulletins as new information
becomes available. If you have any issues when dealing with the government, and you would like some assistance, I strongly urge you to get in contact.
