We have continued to work hard to re-establish Permaculture Tasmania as an active, vibrant group that serves the community. This takes time but we are slowly but surely getting there.
2025 has been a year of regrowth and renewal. At our AGM on Sunday 14 th September we said goodbye to our Public Officer, Suzi Read. Suzi has an amazing grasp of the PT constitution and was always on this ball when her expertise was required. I’d like to thank Suzi for her time, dedication and hard work over the past 12 months in helping to re- establish PT and wish her all the best in her future endeavours.
I’d like to welcome to the committee Patrick Casey. Patrick moved to Tasmania to build his own sustainable straw bale house in Deloraine with his wife Rhianna. Patrick’s enthusiasm and attention to detail will no doubt put him in good stead for the job as a committee member.

Most of all, I’d like to thank you, the general membership; for sticking by Permaculture Tasmania through the dark years, for becoming renewed or recently new members of PT and for giving PT its purpose.
Here’s to an abundant Spring!
