Design Tasmania is a key tourist attraction for Launceston and Northern Tasmania, welcoming more than 70,000 visitors each year. Feedback from our visitors confirms that Design Tasmania, its Collection, and exhibitions, offer a compelling reason to visit Launceston – to stay longer, to encourage others to visit, and to return. The gradual deterioration of the buildings is compromising the safe and optimal storage and presentation of the unique Design Tasmania Wood Collection and the annual program of exhibitions of work by Tasmanian, national, and international designers and, if not addressed, will continue to limit the capacity of Design Tasmania to provide attractive and appealing presentations for residents and visitors.

Support requested

Design Tasmania is working with the City of Launceston to secure the funds and in-kind support (~$750,000) required to rectify the issues related to the roofing, guttering, and drainage at the premises at 45-47 Tamar St Launceston.
