Today at the 91st Flinders Island Show, we're launching a little experiment called Voicemail from the Island. 🎙️

It's a simple invitation to pause for a moment and share what island life means to you. Scan a QR code, choose a question and leave us a 60-second voicemail.

Hear from Flinders Council candidates about their vision for a flourishing Furneaux Islands community, the priorities that matter and how Council and community can work together to shape our future.

With a new Council soon to be elected, we have emailed all candidates the four questions - about how they see our future and the role we can all play in shaping it. 

The feedback will be published here.

This year has been about turning ideas into action while building the foundations for what comes next. The Tasmanian Government’s three-year investment, is an investment in our Islands - our people, ideas and future - creating opportunities, strengthening local capacity and helping more good ideas find their way into action.

We signed the lease! 💜

3 Bowman Street, Whitemark is officially the new home of The Collective.

We have a guiding plan. We have the Islander Way Framework and The Collective Roadmap in progress. And now we have a place where we can start bringing more of it to life.

We can’t wait to welcome you into The Collective. 💜

It can be the post office, the newsagency, the petrol pump, the unofficial counselling room, and the spot where kids get their first job and their first taste of being trusted.
