PRIORITY AREAS — TAS

Island isolation, community strength.

Tasmania faces unique supply chain challenges as an island state — any disruption to Bass Strait shipping affects food and fuel prices statewide. Bushfires in the Huon Valley and Derwent Valley, flooding in the north-west, and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis disproportionately affect rural Tasmanians. Tourists and backpackers in remote wilderness areas rely on local knowledge when conditions change.

TOURISTS & TRAVELLERS

Not just for locals.

Tasmania receives over 1.3 million visitors yearly. The Overland Track, Freycinet, and Cradle Mountain draw adventurers to remote areas where supply disruptions and weather events can isolate travellers for days. PantryShare AU helps connect them with local support.
