About this event

What is The Coasters?

The Coasters is a group of like-minded young people who live and work on the Cradle Coast, and wish to influence the region's future. Through regular events - Friday morning coffees, Friday arvo drinks, a Winter Symposium and other events - they share skills, knowledge and experiences to raise aspirations and improve access to career development and mentoring opportunities. Most 'Coasters' are between 18 and 35 years of age, however, there is no age limit; we're for the young and young at heart.

What does this have to do with King Island?

Thanks to the Australian Government's Building Better Regions Fund, King Islanders have the opportunity to get involved. The first stage of the project saw successful applicants from King Island attend The Coasters 2019 Winter Symposium in Stanley. The second stage of the project will see existing Coasters from north-west Tasmania visit King Island to share skills, knowledge and experiences to help get The Coasters up and running on King Island.

The networking event will kick off the two day program on King Island, with cheese tastings and matching beer and wine you'll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded young people from the Coast and King Island. If you're a passionate King Islander keen help establish The Coasters on King Island come along to find out more.

This event is free, however places are limited!

The Coasters

The Coasters is a network of like-minded aspiration young people, who live and work on the Cradle Coast of Tasmania. Sharing skills, knowledge and experiences to raise aspirations whilst improving access to career development and mentoring opportunities.

The potential for social and cultural change increases when young people are actively engaged and committed to contributing to the community. A vibrant and dynamic network of young people raises the aspirations of the whole region.

The future of this region is dependent on young people from diverse industries and sectors choosing to build their careers and their lives on the coast.

The Coasters covers all industries and sectors - young tradies, public servants, professionals and entrepreneurs. Open to everyone from 18 - 45 years, our events will be held right across the region from Deloraine to Circular Head.

Our events aim to build strong networks and social connections, providing insights and advice, as well as enabling young people to have their say. Whilst celebrating the coast as an attractive place for young people to live and work.

The Coasters is managed by passionate young volunteers, hosted by the Cradle Coast Authority and supported by the University of Tasmania and CPA Australia.
