Message from the Chair
Good news for outdoor venues in Salamanca Place with live music now being allowed on Sundays after a trial period was agreed upon by the City of Hobart. The motion for a year-long trial was brought forward by Ald Zucco and had the backing of the Confederation.
Last week we held our February Networking Event, Mac Point 2.0 Creating a Unique Tasmanian Community Precinct. Big thanks to Dean Coleman from Stadia Precinct for speaking and staying back to answer everyone’s questions.
It was a very informative night for everyone who attended. No one was left in any doubt that this is a genuine proposal with the level of planning, stakeholder consultation, and costings very impressive.
The Confederation holds monthly business networking events in the Greater Hobart area. Our events have speakers that talk on a variety of topics that relate to small business.
