Minister Ellis said the draft Strategy sends an important signal to Tasmanian businesses, industry, investors and communities that the Government is focused on the future.
"Our job is to create the right conditions for businesses to invest, grow, employ more Tasmanians and compete with confidence," Minister Ellis said.
"That means faster decisions, clearer priorities, better coordination and a stronger focus on practical outcomes."
The draft Strategy also positions Tasmania to pursue reforms through the Government's broader Economic Future Framework, including the proposed Economic Future Act and review of the Tasmanian Development Act 1983.
"Whether it is supporting major employers, backing small business, attracting new investment, or helping regional communities build on their own strengths, this draft Strategy is about making sure Tasmania is powering ahead," Minister Ellis said.
"Tasmanians are aspirational for our State and we want Tasmanians to help shape our economic future."
The draft Economic Diversification and Investment Strategy is available at economicstrategy.tas.gov.au.
Consultation is now open and feedback will help shape the final Strategy, expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
