Industry Development PlanThe Industry Development Plan (IDP) provides an integrated range of strategies to foster growth and development for the Tasmanian economy and key industries.
The Tasmanian Government delivered its first IDP in November 1998. The early editions focused on halting, then reversing, the relative economic disparity between Tasmania and the rest of Australia experienced during most of the 1990s.
This Industry Development Plan 2005 is markedly different from previous editions, shifting emphasis from reporting the progress of the plan to focussing on future opportunities for economic prosperity.
The fundamental principle behind Tasmania’s economic strategy is to increase demand for goods and services produced in the state economy.
The government's approach involves:
1. creating a more competitive business environment
2. securing significant investment, particularly to those sectors that contribute to export growth and import replacement.
