Following the June Board meeting at Latrobe Council Chambers, Cradle Coast Authority Board members visited Mill Park Wesley Vale to learn more about one of North West Tasmania’s largest industrial development sites.

Hosted by owner and local businessperson Tony Seymour, the tour showcased the former Wesley Vale Pulp Mill site, which has been transformed into a thriving industrial and commercial hub. Spanning more than 55 hectares, the site currently accommodates a diverse range of tenants, including Costa, Simplot and Visy, alongside a number of local businesses and service providers.

Board members heard about future plans for the site, including proposed industrial expansion and data centre development, supported by significant existing infrastructure including abundant power and water supply. Mill Park also benefits from its strategic location, with excellent access to the Bass Highway, the Port of Devonport and Devonport Airport.

The visit provided valuable insight into the region’s industrial growth opportunities and the important role sites like Mill Park play in supporting investment, employment and economic development across the Cradle Coast.

Staff from CCA who attended the 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 in Burnie yesterday joined around 200 people to hear from Tasmanian Aboriginal leaders and non-Aboriginal Tasmanians sharing their stories, challenges, actions and future hopes.

With a theme of 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩. 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦. speakers gave those of us attending deeply personal and powerful views and experiences that pointed clearly to making change based in accountability, empathy and respect.

We thank Reconciliation Tasmania for hosting this moving and thought-provoking event and the opportunity to hear these stories and learn about Reconciliation challenges.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁’𝘀 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆

The Cradle Coast is currently home to a $15 billion renewable energy pipeline, yet most turbine components, including the massive blades, are expected to be imported with minimal local content. This represents a significant economic opportunity loss, as billions of dollars in equipment procurement currently leave the state.

Our latest report, 𝘓𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳, 𝘓𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺, outlines how we can pivot from being consumers of technology to regional producers:

𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻: By localising the manufacturing of wind turbine parts and blades, the region can retain a major share of investment value and create additional high‑value local jobs.

𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲: We already have a strong foundation. Local firms like Harbro Engineering and Penguin Composites are demonstrating advanced capabilities in composites, precision engineering and industrial 3D printing to support turbine maintenance and bespoke parts as technology evolves.

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: This transition requires coordinated effort. Success depends on sophisticated and effective collaboration between the private sector and all three levels of government. Direct involvement from global turbine builders such as Vestas or Goldwind, supported by formal licensing and intellectual property agreements, will be essential.

𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹-𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: The Mersey–Leven Industrial Land Study confirms that industrial land supply is tightening across the region and identifies a clear need for additional, well‑located industrial land to support manufacturing and other industrial activities. The Study recommends future industrial land supply options capable of accommodating large‑scale, industrial uses. These outcomes are strengthened through a coordinated planning approach as part of the Mersey Leven Strategic Alliance between Central Coast, Devonport City, Latrobe and Kentish Councils.

We can convert opportunity into prosperity by acting together, to ensure renewable energy construction creates a lasting legacy for the 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁.

🎓 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐩: 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 $𝟏𝟓 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 🚀

The transition to renewable energy is the most significant economic transformation in our region's history, but realising its full potential requires investing in our youth. To ensure the $15 billion investment pipeline translates into local prosperity, we must prioritise education and skill-building today.

The unfortunate reality of current stats - According to the latest data for Tasmania’s 2024 Year 9 students, there is a significant proficiency gap that we must address to prepare our future workforce:

🖋️ 52.1% did not meet the expected proficiency level in writing.
📚 40.3% did not meet reading expectations
🔢 42.8% did not meet the expected proficiency level in numeracy

The "Gap" Warning from Dr. Lisa Denny: Demographer Dr. Lisa Denny highlights a critical challenge: while state-wide literacy reforms are underway, their full benefits won't be visible in Year 12 completion rates until 2039. This leaves a decade-long "gap" of under-skilled youth who may miss out on high-paying career pathways if we don't act urgently.

𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐌

We need hands-on solutions that connect students to the real-world industries growing in their backyard. GreenSTEM is a high-impact initiative designed to do exactly that—building Science, Engineering, and Digital Technology skills to equip young people for the region's emerging energy sectors. Programs like GreenSTEM are positioning the Cradle Coast as a national leader in future-focused education and innovation.

Building the Foundation - Literacy and numeracy are the bedrock of STEM pathways. By strengthening these foundations and leveraging initiatives like the Clean Energy Centre of Excellence in Burnie, we can create clear, high-value pathways for young Tasmanians to stay, train, and build their futures locally.

The choices we make in education today will determine whether this investment leaves a legacy of enduring prosperity or a series of missed opportunities.

We need to invest in our youth, together.

CCA was a proud supporter of the Tasmanian Business Conference held this week, with CEO Philip Reid participating on the 𝘋𝑟𝘪𝑣𝘦𝑟𝘴 𝘰𝑓 𝑅𝘦𝑔𝘪𝑜𝘯𝑎𝘭 𝘗𝑟𝘰𝑠𝘱𝑒𝘳𝑖𝘵𝑦 panel.

Hosted by Devonport Chamber of Commerce & Industry, this was a fantastic event with a range of engaging speakers who explored topics that ranged from trends in AI and ethics to digital twins for business; insights on both the State and Federal budgets to the importance of resilience in changing times.

Excellent organisation by DCCI with engaging speakers in an interactive environment, we're looking forward to seeing what this event offers next year.

The $15 billion renewable energy investment pipeline is not just about power generation; it’s a practical lever to address the Cradle Coast’s youth participation and workforce housing pressures. As outlined in our latest report, this scale of investment can shift the conditions that influence whether young people stay, study, train, and build their futures locally.

Here’s where government influence is strongest:

📍 The Strategic Window (Pre‑FID)

Government impact is greatest before a Final Investment Decision (FID). This is the period when project scopes are still flexible, making it possible to design housing solutions in partnership with developers and communities. Pre-FID is when our collective community voice is the loudest and the most influential.

🍏 Planning Reform Potential

A recent example is the move to increase allowable granny flat sizes from 60m² to 90m². This simple change expands the supply of one‑ and two‑bedroom homes across the state which is exactly the types of dwellings the region needs most.

🏘️ Building a Housing Legacy

FIFO workers will need accommodation, and this fixed short-term income stream could be strategically utilised by the Tasmanian Government through Building Tasmania. This opportunity can also include flexible accommodation options where worker housing for renewable energy projects can be designed for later conversion into aged‑care or social housing, ensuring long‑term regional benefit rather than short‑term strain.

The aim is a coordinated approach where major investment strengthens, rather than unsettles, the way we live and work.

By aligning our efforts now, we can ensure these projects leave a lasting housing legacy for the Cradle Coast. Let’s build the right housing solutions, together.
