The event was due to move to an earlier timeslot in 2022 - from March 8 to 13 - but will now be held from Tuesday, April 26, to Sunday, May 1.
The later date also facilitates the running of Targa High Country from February 11 to 13, the same slot used earlier this year for the Mount Buller-based event, and away from the scheduled November 2021 dates that were likely to still be heavily impacted by COVID-19 protocols.
Targa Australia chief executive Mark Perry said the new dates buy both events vital time for Australian states to move beyond severe pandemic restrictions.
"We want to make the 30th anniversary something special - the event of the year for motorsport enthusiasts," he said. "We have some exciting things planned - not just for our entrants but all the Targa fans in Tasmania as well."
