About Launceston Central
Your guide to the city
Launceston Central is the marketing agency for the Launceston central business district.
We are an independent, not-for profit organisation engaged by the City of Launceston to lead marketing and promotion activities to ensure that central Launceston is the premier destination that target market audiences visit for entertainment, food and beverage, tours, accommodation and attractions, social connection, unique experiences, services, and shopping in Northern Tasmania.
We do this through strategic seasonal campaigns, tactical marketing activity, place activation, and the promotion of events in the CBD. We pilot and deliver commercial events where they are connected to core campaigns and necessary to trigger behavioural change in target markets. We also maintain an advocacy role to ensure central Launceston remains competitive and marketable at a local, regional, and national level.

Gastronomy: a love of Launceston's food
Gastronomy is typically defined as the study of the relationship between food and culture.
Beards, beer and barbering
A bloke might not feel much like venturing out for a haircut in mid-winter, admits Barber on George owner Hamish Mackean. But the free beer might tempt them.
That family feeling: a conversation with The Grain Grocer
Jo, owner of The Grain Grocer, is a joy to be around. Any time she's at the counter you'll be greeted with a smile that lights up the room and helpful service that can come only from someone who truly knows their products.
She's passed on these winning traits to her daughter, Jess, who you can also find frequently working in store- in fact, you can find Jo's whole family helping out in The Grain Grocer at different times. They're a tight-knit bunch, and Jo wouldn't have it any other way.
It's a rare gift to have a family you can happily work alongside. Of course there are always challenges, but if you can pull it off then you've got a steadfast, trustworthy and loyal team that you know you can always rely on - an invaluable asset for any small business owner.
Read on to hear more about Jo, her family and The Grain Grocer.
