Tasmania Public Holidays 2026

Half-day holiday, generally Tasmanian State Service only (source: "Generally for Tasmanian State Service only"). Seeded as holiday_type=sector — scope (regional) and sector restriction are independent axes here, both apply. Official source does not specify exact part-day hours, so this is recorded as a full calendar-day record with the half-day restriction named in notes rather than an unverified part-day time range.

region_name is a summary — wp_dv_public_holidays.region_name is capped at 100 characters. Full official boundary: "South of and including Oatlands and Swansea, excluding Bronte Park, Catagunya, Strathgordon, Tarraleah, Wayatinah & West Coast."

Generally Tasmanian State Service only (source: "Generally for Tasmanian State Service only", applying to the whole Launceston Cup entry including both this all-day area and the from-11am area below).
