Livia 723 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Solves that problem! Tasmania will keep state border closed until at least December Another state has made a grim Christmas prediction, with Tasmania announcing they will keep borders closed until at least December. Tasmania’s Premier Peter Gutwein has announced the state’s borders will remain closed until at least December 1. The announcement comes just a week after the Northern Territory’s Chief Minister announced border restrictions would be in place for 18 months in some capacity, while Queensland still remains closed to NSW, Victoria and the ACT. RELATED: Prime Minister plea over state borders Mr Gutwein said his border closure forecast is to allow outbreaks in other states, including Victoria and NSW, to be brought under control. The Premier said that in a bid to encourage intrastate holidays, Tasmanians will be provided with a $100 travel incentive as part of a new $7.5 million voucher system. “In regards to extending our border restrictions for a longer period, we also recognise there is a need to do more to help our hospitality and tourism industry,” Mr Gutwein said in an address to state parliament on Tuesday. Tasmanians will be provided with a financial incentive to holiday in their own state in September, October and November.Source:Supplied “Today I’m also announcing intrastate visitation and to support Tasmanians getting out and visiting their own home state. “We are announcing that we’ll be introducing the ‘Make Yourself at Home’ travel voucher, which means that across the months of September, October and November we’ll be making a total of $7.5 million available to encourage Tasmanians to travel outside of their municipality, to stay midweek in accommodation or to purchase a tourism experience for any day of the week.” Mr Gutwein’s new travel voucher stimulus program means that participants can put the full $100 towards accommodation or $50 towards a tourism experience.

The Dark Knight 714 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 There is no way any club should be continuing to plan for a race to Tassie for this Christmas, because we all know that the border opening could quite easily be delayed Time for the CYCA & ORCV to prepare a NOR for alternative races within their borders I think that is better than a late cancellation and no races at all.
