TASMANIA’S Government has highlighted expanding cruise ship visits to the north-west town of Stanley as a means to boost jobs following the closure of a Murray Goulburn facility in the area.
An Interim report released by the Circular Head Regional Economic Development Working Group flagged the government had been actively pursuing the cruise industry to introduce vessels to the port.
It also revealed there had been interest from a passenger expedition vessel into Stanley in 2018, which was being assessed for an extended multiple itinerary expedition season in 2019/20.
