πͺπͺClosed indefinitely. πͺπͺ
2020 has had many challenges here at the Tarkine Animal Park.
Firstly due to the pandemic we closed our gates to keep the public safe ,then once restrictions eased and we were getting close to opening again local Council threatened us with a letter of compliance, if we opened to the public again with out completing and being signed off on their regulations. (We looked into this and had a meeting at our kitchen table with council before buying one animal and were told from a council point of view we were right to go, funny how thing change) . I must point out the Mayor and General manager were most helpful in getting us compliant again.
So not happy!! but we had no choice to stay closed until we had spent a considerable amount of time and money on redtape to finally get a letter of compliance on December 18.
However the day before, our overseas Landlords decided to sell all their Australian assets and found a loophole in our contract not to continue our further three year term and has put the property on the market.
Therefore we are moving our animals to another property until such time that we can purchase/find a suitable property and re-establish our park and take it to the next level.
πWe would like to thank all those who visited and made our business such a success, we will be back bigger and better.π
