Deputy Premier Jeremy Rockliff officially launched the River Derwent Anglers Access project and brochure at New Norfolk on Monday 4 May 2015. The launch was attended by the Chairman of Anglers Alliance Tasmania, Gary France, Derwent Valley Mayor, Martyn Evans, Federal Member for Lyons, Eric Hutchinson, landowners, volunteers and other stakeholders.

The River Derwent Anglers Access project is the ninth major river access project completed by AAT and the Inland Fisheries Service and brings to 250 km the total length of rivers now accessible to anglers. The River Derwent project was jointly funded by the State and Federal governments and has received invaluable support from volunteers and the Green Army.

The River Derwent brochure highlights in excess of 60 access locations from Store Point to Gretna and is available from major tackle shops, the IFS and AAT websites.
