Devonport Cup
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.
