Consultation is now open on the Tasmanian Government's draft small-scale livestock processing roadmap.
The roadmap will be key to providing clarity around how small-scale livestock processing facilities can be established and operate in Tasmania
Minister for Primary Industries and Water Gavin Pearce said that the government is getting on with the job of delivering for Tasmanians and the farmers that put food on their tables.
"We know just how important our smaller livestock producers are to our local agrifood sector and paddock-to-plate brand," Minister Pearce said.
"This is about streamlining and simplifying to make life easier for our farmers, all while maintaining Tasmania's strong reputation for food safety and environmental protection.
"We are delivering for producers who say they want to see more localised processing options that fit smaller business models, and we want to make it as easy as possible for that to happen.
"The draft roadmap brings together information from multiple regulators into one clear, practical resource, helping both new and existing operators understand what's required, who to talk to, and how to get their projects up and running."
Consultation is open until 5pm, 30 March 2026.
