Malcolm Little, General Manager, TACC

The Tasmanian Automobile Chamber of Commerce (TACC) has served the Automotive Industry since 1930.

The Chamber amalgamated with the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce (VACC) in 1999, and since then TACC has been able to provide members with a more diversified range of services while maintaining a Tasmanian perspective and addressing local issues.

TACC is dedicated to the promotion, representation and preservation of member businesses to local, state and federal governments, the media, consumers and the community.
