Location

Deloraine Community Complex

8 Alveston Drive, Deloraine TAS 7304

The Gathering 2026 will take place in Deloraine — a town with deep roots in Tasmania’s Landcare story, and the site of the first statewide Landcare gathering more than 30 years ago.

Set on the banks of the Meander River in the state’s north, Deloraine offers a strong connection to community, agriculture and the natural environment — making it an ideal place to come together.

While The Gathering will take place across three days in the Meander Valley, we’re also actively working to enhance the program with additional field trips, activities and community events across Tasmania during Gathering week.

Deloraine hosted Tasmania’s first statewide Landcare conference in 1997 (pictured). The Gathering 2026 builds on that long history of connection, learning and community action.

The Saturday Meet Up and Celebration will be held at the Deloraine Community Complex and the Rotary Function Centre, along with Friday afternoon early registrations and social gathering.  Other activities will be around Deloraine.
