New Year's Day
1 January 2028 falls on a Saturday. Per the official source's general substitute rule ("When New Year's Day ... fall[s] on a weekend the public holiday is held on the following Monday" — New Year's Day has no explicit "both days" carve-out the way Christmas Day does), the public holiday is observed on the following Monday, 3 January 2028, replacing rather than adding to the actual date.
Long weekend

Wednesday
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.
Regional / local Sector-specific — not a statewide public holiday
