When creating the Department of State Growth, the government bought together four interrelated divisions developing a strategic approach that drives economic growth, and supports the community, industry and business in the creation of jobs and opportunities for Tasmanians. The department has eight Ministers spanning 14 portfolios. We work across industry and services that include investment attraction, transport, infrastructure, cultural industry and tourism supply development, skills, training and workforce growth, international relations and trade, science and technology, resources, energy and emissions reductions, and region and sector development.
