'Taste of Tasmania' festival loses City Council funding

Hobart’s 'Taste of Tasmania' festival will receive significant funding cuts after the Hobart City Council unanimously voted to reduce their financial commitment over the next three years.

The 2018-19 event injected $46.9 million into the Tasmanian economy, with Hobart alone receiving $26.8 million dollars.

The Hobart City Council has asked the State Government to foot the rest of the bill, which is expected to fall between $250,000-$500,000.
