Tasmanian Government
The Tasmanian Government has taken the fight to Canberra and successfully secured the $240 million GST exemption for the Macquarie Point urban renewal project.
Treasurer, Guy Barnett, welcomed the news, saying this was a fair outcome for Tasmanians.
"We have advocated long and hard to the Federal Labor Government to secure this outcome, and we are pleased that they have finally done what's right," the Treasurer said.
"Despite holding a position for months that Tasmania would not be granted the exemption like other states, our government has never stopped fighting for our fair share.
"We will continue to work with any Federal Government to protect and promote the best interests of Tasmanians."
