Efforts to breathe new life into a north-west Tasmanian tourism attraction will go international from this weekend.
Expressions of Interest (EOI) open on Saturday 21 September for a new operator, or group, to take on and transform the Dismal Swamp site, west of Smithton, into a visitor hub.
Leading the EOI process is international company TSA Riley, which is looking to engage with potential operators from across Australia and even across the globe.
The site has sat dormant since 2020 but has since secured $12.5 million from the Australian Government through a 2022 federal election commitment to help revitalise the site.
The project is expected to attract an overall investment of $40 to $50 million when commercial investors and a developer are locked in, providing a significant economic boost to the region.
