The Tasmanian Automotive Chamber of Commerce (TACC) has served the automotive industry in Tasmania since 1928.

There had always been a long standing and mutually supportive relationship between TACC and the Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce (VACC).

TACC successfully lobbied state government on behalf of members for many years, but times were changing and in 1999 TACC and VACC were amalgamated. This merger offered members a more diverse range of services, while still maintaining a Tasmanian perspective on local issues.

Today we are dedicated to the promotion, representation and preservation of member businesses to local, state and federal governments, as well as the media, consumers and the community.

Be proud

27 January 2023

Yesterday was Australia Day. Time for backyard cricket, a roast lunch, and a road trip to the beach. It has got me thinking about Australian motoring milestones.

So here it is, my Top 10 Aussie Auto Hits:

  1. Bathurst. One of the world’s greatest endurance races. It consistently delivers wheel-to-wheel racing and close results. Unmissable.
  2. Holden Monaro. My all-time favourite Australian-built car. Make mine a 1969 GTS 350 V8 with manual transmission. Awesome.
  3. Sir Jack Brabham. Three-time Formula 1 World Champion and still the only person to win a world title in a car of their own design. Unrepeatable.
  4. Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix. The magic Albert Park location sells Australia like nothing else. Iconic.
  5. Australian International Motor Show. No longer with us, but what a ride! For 75 years it dazzled Aussies with the latest and greatest in motoring. Missed.
  6. Aussie ingenuity. From Formula 1-winning Repco V8s, to Bill Buckle’s Goggomobil Dart, and the latest Brabham BT63. We take on the world and often win. Respect.
  7. National Automobile Museum of Tasmania. A Launceston favourite that consistently delivers world-class entertainment for historic vehicle fans. Classy.
  8. Historic racing at Baskerville. A must-see every year: racing cars from every era at one of Australia’s best circuits. Memorable.
  9. Australian MotoGP. Jack Miller missed out on a podium last time. Maybe this year.
  10. David Shearer. Australia was building cars back in 1898, not long after the first-ever Benz, built in Germany. Amazing.

Have I missed anything?
