Tasmania has an historic and high level of commitment to military service. We are committed to recruitment and retention of personnel in Tasmania. Defence will retain a strong presence in Tasmania, including through the consolidation of the Burnie training depot and the Devonport training depot to a new multiuser depot, which builds on recent investments in the triservice cadet depot in Launceston, estimated to be completed by 2027, and builds on major investments such as the upgrade and maintenance of facilities at Anglesea Barracks.
