23.01.2022 Tomorrow - Monday 30 November - is the LAST DAY that tickets for the GPA raffle will be available. I'll be setting up a stall outside IGA again from 10 to 12 Monday morning. If you'd like to keep me company awhile, and help sell a few tickets, I'd really like that. :)

If you are noticing that your headlights aren't performing as well as th...ey should, then come in and see Ben for a headlight restore for just $55! Also a good time to get your battery tested and a safety check done on your vehicle making sure your tyres, brakes and suspension are all safe for the road. Call Ben on 6297 9988 or 0403 434 956 for more information and to make a booking or come in and see him at 2 Arve Rd Geeveston open 8-5 Mon-Fri.

15.01.2022 Want to win $2000 cash? The Geeveston Progress Association will be holding seasonal raffles of $2000 as their main form of fundraising, as events are now much harder to organise and hold, and future RV camping fee collections are under great doubt. The proceeds of the raffle ticket sales will help the GPA to (i) continue giving annual community grants, (ii) to pay for advertising and promotion of Geeveston to bring more visitors to help our businesses, and (iii) to rebuild th...e Rotunda in Heritage Park. Tickets will be available locally in Geeveston and surrounding areas. Over the coming days and weeks, I'll be prompting you with reminders to support the GPA and with which locations sell tickets. But if you don't live in the area or you can't make it, but still wish to support the GPA, you can purchase tickets online at www.GeevestonProgressAssociation.com . Initially, the tickets are now available at: - The Hardware Store - Harvest & Light - OneStop - The Geeveston Town Hall Tickets are $5 each, and the prize will be drawn in 1 December 2020. Feel welcome to buy one every week or fortnight, or buy a few at once. If you can help us to sell tickets at your workplace or in your social circles, please message me and I'll help get a book or two into your hands. With cash as a prize, it doesn't matter if you're selling to local residents or visitors. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll do my best to answer them.

05.01.2022 Has anyone seen the below Looks like the metal sign posts have gone missing..

04.01.2022 Subsidised tourism for Tasmanians *TL:DR* The support will provide up to $100 towards the cost of a room in commercial accommodation, or up to $50 per booking to participate in a tourism experience whether that be a cruise, a walk or entry to an attraction such as the Port Arthur Historic Site or the Tahune Airwalk.... The full Press Release is below ... 18 August 2020 Peter Gutwein, Premier Incentivising Tasmanians to explore their own backyard to support our tourism and hospitality industry We know our Tourism and Hospitality industry has been one of the hardest hit through the COVID-19 pandemic. Having extended our border restrictions until at least 1 December 2020, we will be doing more to help these critical sectors. A series of support and incentive measures have been announced today to help drive intrastate visitation, and support and encourage Tasmanians to get out and experience their home state. Tasmanians have been extremely supportive of local businesses already, with hotel and accommodation occupancy rates relatively strong during the recent school holidays and on the weekends. However, we want Tasmanians enjoying everything our unique and beautiful state has to offer at all times, not just the weekend, ensuring we spread the benefits more widely and to all areas of the state. Today, 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. The support will provide up to $100 towards the cost of a room in commercial accommodation, or up to $50 per booking to participate in a tourism experience whether that be a cruise, a walk or entry to an attraction such as the Port Arthur Historic Site or the Tahune Airwalk. The voucher system is expected to support up to 25,000 bed nights or 50,000 tourism experiences each month. We also want our local businesses to conduct their meetings or team building workshops away from their base in other parts of the state and they will be able to access this support as well to hold mini conferences and meetings. I expect that after consultation occurs the guidelines and details of the booking system will be outlined before the end of this month for activation in September.

04.01.2022 Last night our trees and training area have again been targeted. We planted these trees as a border around our training area but it constantly gets destroyed if... you see the park land along School Rd being destroyed call police asap. This area is under CCTV footage and police will be notified. See more

03.01.2022 Thank you to everyone for generously supporting our raffle. I'll be back in the same spot next Monday, 10 - 12, because it will be drawn on the following day, December 1. If you can't meet me there, you can buy tickets at the hardware shop, the post office, and at the visitor centre.... Or online at www.geevestonprogressassociation.com. All profits go back into our Geeveston community projects.

02.01.2022 Geeveston is very lucky to have 2 local primary schools who shape our young ones to be their best.

01.01.2022 On Saturday, our community lost a vibrant member. The response of love and care towards her family has been strong and full of warmth and kindness. We will keep you updated on the time and place of her service. In the meantime, here is what Stef's Mother-In-Law is organising, so if you'd like to help in the most practical way, here's a way for you to help Shane and their children.... https://gf.me/u/yvhnjh

01.01.2022 It's a tough decision to make.
