No Norfolk Targa

THE spectacle of millions of dollars of modern and classic motorsport vehicles will be absent from New Norfolk this weekend. Seemingly without notice, Targa Tasmania has shifted its Sunday lunch break and regrouping to Bothwell, despite last year's assurances that it would back in New Norfolk - possibly with a race stage.

The 21st Targa Tasmania got under way today. As is traditional, the event will make its way from the West Coast and across the Derwent Valley this Sunday, but instead of following the highway to New Norfolk it will turn off after the Tarraleah competitive stage and head for Bothwell.

The Lyell Highway will be closed at various locations and times this Sunday to enable competitive stages at Strahan, Queenstown, Mt Arrowsmith and Tarraleah. Details here.

    Well that is a major disappointment which has flown under the radar. But I suppose 'assurances' aren't contractual commitments.
    It would be helpful for the Council to be informed why the change of heart as I was under the impression everyone was pretty happy with the reception they received from NN Last year.

    I hope Mayor Evans looks into this as surely this should have been diarised by DVC to follow up with Targa well before now so that things could be put in place. So someone must have known it wasn't proceeding but just kept 'mum' about it or Council has been lax in not following up. We cannot afford to miss such opportunities, we miss enough as it is with Willow Court.
