Anglican Bishop of Tasmania, the Right Reverend Richard Condie, said the church had listened and responded to community feedback.

“This has been a difficult process, and we believe we have struck the right balance between fulfilling our Redress obligations, listening to community, and ensuring sustainability of the Church,” Bishop Condie said.

“We recognise that our church buildings are important places and hold significant value, which is why we have listened to the desires and concerns of both parishes and the wider community.”

“Retaining 30 percent of the properties will have an impact on the funds we are able to raise. However, sacrificial giving from parishes has reduced this impact to the Redress Fund. I want to make clear to all Tasmanians that funding our Redress obligations remains non-negotiable.

“We have communicated with each of our Parishes overnight and asked them share Diocesan Council’s decision in their church services today. Given the high level of community interest in our Redress sale process, it was decided to share the final decision as soon as possible.”
