Tasmanian Council Approves $150 Million Chocolate Experience Near Cadbury Factory
Plans for a $150 million chocolate experience have been approved by a local council near the Cadbury factory in Hobart's northern suburbs. The project, inspired by the inside and outside of chocolate bars, will feature a reinvented chocolate factory with immersive, multi-sensory worlds and a chocolate lab. The experience will include a three-hour ticketed journey offering what developers Simon Currant and Associates describe as 'the world's most extraordinary chocolate experience.' The development is expected to become a major tourism drawcard for Tasmania, similar to the MONA art gallery, which significantly boosted local tourism. The state government has committed $12 million to the project, with the remainder of the funding to be sourced from the private sector and loans. The chocolate experience is expected to open in late 2028.
