Key achievements

providing financial support to help Tasmanians transition to electric transport. The e-mobility program provided $200,000 to 501 Tasmanians with rebates for their electric bikes, cargo e-bikes and personal mobility devices, such as e-scooters
nearly 200 rebates of $2,000 have been provided for Tasmanians to purchase battery electric vehicles, and there are still some electric vehicle rebates available
developing Tasmania’s first climate change risk assessment, which will help us prioritise actions that support Tasmania to adapt to the impacts of a changing climate
awarding TasFarmers a grant of $4 million to reduce emissions from livestock. TasFarmers will work with the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA), Fonterra, Annandale Dairy Farm, Sea Forest and AEON Tasmanian feedlot to trial seaweed feed supplements to reduce an estimated 16,350 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent over the next three years
supporting 14 small to medium-sized businesses to reduce their waste, through the Business Resource Efficiency Program

We are currently preparing sector-based Emissions Reductions and Resilience Plans for Tasmania. The plans will help Tasmania reduce emissions, as well as support our businesses and industries in the transition to a low emissions economy, and build resilience to climate-related risks.
