About SPRING BAY MILL:
Spring Bay Mill is no ordinary events venue, with a state-of-the-art event facilities on a spectacular site close to nature on Tassie’s East Coast.
Once home to the world’s largest wood chip mill and built on the unceded lands of the paredarerme people, this 43-hectare waterfront site is now managed by a bunch of provocateurs intent on charting a sustainable path. We’ve restored rusting industrial buildings into unique spaces to house events: intimate or spectacular. We’re regenerating the natural landscape and growing wholesome, healthy food. We have a range of onsite accommodation and an in-house chef creating garden-to-plate goodness from our own organic gardens. All for the purpose of reviving this once destructive site through the restorative powers of nature. And hopefully changing the world a little as we go. The Spring Bay Mill business is purpose driven, connecting locally and globally with leaders and like-minded companies and organisations. Not just a home for events, but a place for big ideas to flourish!
Our team is made up of adventurers, storytellers, horticulturists and the odd provocateur.
