Tassie North Branch
Tassie North Branch
The Renew Tassie North Branch covers the area from Devonport through Deloraine and Westbury to Launceston. We have had a strong focus on sustainable buildings and transport. We have good working relationships with Tamar NRM and the local AEVA branch.
Note: As of our September 2019 annual meeting the Tassie North branch is going into recess. Due to time constraints some people are stepping back from the committee as they deal with other task and demands of life. This is a natural cycle to some extent and we’re happy to celebrate the great things that have been achieved by the Tas North branch in the last few years.
We will continue to promote suitable local sustainability initiatives, Sustainable House Day, and the work of Renew generally. If you are a local Renew member and would like to consider joining the branch committee to help restart things at some stage then email doug (AT) renew.org.au

Here’s some more photos of the Allis Chalmers ‘G’ tractor converted by Ronald at Marleen Herbs in Barrington, Tasmania. The tractor was highlighted in issue #128 of Renew magazine. Electric farm machinery is something of an interest in the Tassie North branch area. We’re hoping to profile electric farm machinery on this page. If you know of electric tractor or farm machinery conversions then please use our ‘contact us’ form.
The last photos show the 5kW array powering the farm, the ‘solar workshop’ collecting warm area for the herb drying rooms and the herb harvester which is intended to be Ronald’s next electric project.
Check out this amazing electric tractor from Steve Heckaroth.
