TFGA celebrates the opening of its new headquarters

Tasmania's peak body for Farmers is celebrating the opening of its new offices in Northern Tasmania.

President of the Tasmanian Farmers and Graziers Association (TFGA), Ian Sauer, said the opening in Longford marked a monumental moment in the association's history.

"The redevelopment of the old Tabernacle in Longford stands as a remarkable achievement that our members can celebrate with pride," Mr Sauer said.

"This is a line in the sand for us, setting the stage to better serve our members and forge deeper connections within the rural community.

"Through the leadership of TFGA director Dr Elizabeth Lord, we are preserving the heritage of the Tabernacle building while creating a modern, functional workspace,

"We are poised to enter a new era of growth and engagement," said Mr Sauer.

In October 2022, after an extensive property search and rigorous due diligence process, TFGA successfully purchased the Tabernacle building, a historic landmark located on the main street of Longford.

This acquisition sets the stage for an exciting transformation, marrying the building's heritage significance with contemporary office spaces.
