    More than 10,700 statewide on public dentist wait list amidst call for more public funding - The ...

    A claim by a NW Coast dentist that adults in the North-West may have to wait up to eight years for public dental treatment, and even longer for dentures has been denied by the government. A spokesperson for the Oral Health Service said the average wait across the state for general work was about 20 months, and nobody waited more than three years for their checkup. “A patient with a bad toothache, but not an emergency, will be seen within two days. A patient with a missing filling but not in pain…

    Burnie backyard beekeeper says it's not all about the honey - The A...

    Burnie pharmacist Heather Wild has found a new love - well, more than one actually. She has become an ardent fan of honey bees, so much so that she now has two hives in her backyard. Called Queen Beatrice and Queen Barbara, the two brightly painted yellow and black hives sit in her large garden, surrounded by flowers of every colour, and safe from her busy chooks. Heather admits beekeeping has become a bit of an addiction. It started innocently enough with an urgent phone call almost three years…

    Burnie’s Leading Edge Electronics shop is busting at the seams with boxes. Since the Alexander Street store was shut in the recent retail closure round, owners Adam and Carrie Williams and their staff have been surrounded by boxes, bags, packing paper, tape and address labels. “The couriers are coming in twice a day. We’ve closed the shop but are now doing online ordering and through Facebook,” Mr Williams said. He said sales had surged for the past six weeks as customers who had been asked to w…

The clinic in Queen Street is an outreach of Launceston-based Specialist Care Australia, which was set up five years ago.

    Devonport to get new medical centre and skin clinic - The Advocate

    Latrobe’s Dr Mirza Baig plans to open a large new medical centre in Devonport by the middle of next year. Dr Baig said the multi-million dollar clinic showed his confidence in Devonport, its people and its future. The centre will be at 127-129 Steele Street, close to the William Street roundabout. The site was a used car sales yard, so there would be some demolition to make way for the clinic. Dr Baig, who is a principal of the award-winning Latrobe Family Medical Centre, said it would house a m…

    The Stanley wharf could see a whole new type of visitor next year, if a proposal to build berths for cruising vessels goes ahead.

MAST project manager Jim Caulfield said the idea began to be discussed seriously with site owner TasPorts earlier this year. “We identified that with cruising being very popular around Tasmania, there’s no…

    A young Burnie family, whose first home plans fell apart when the company they bought from went out of business, are still waiting for their deposit to be refunded by property developer Sean Bisset. In 2019, Lee Barry and partner Jaymee Goss bought a house and land package at 20-22 Nairana Avenue, Shorewell Park from Easy Way Homes. When Easy Way Homes folded, they asked for a refund on their $2500 deposit. “The deposit refunds were coming from Sean Bisset’s account,” Mr Barry said. At first Mr…
