Clarence City Council will host a live site for the community when the club unveils its name, logo, colours, and jumper on March 18.
The free event will take place in Charles Hand Park, with the broadcast set to commence at 6:00pm.
Clarence City Council Mayor Brendan Blomeley said council is thrilled to be able to offer the people of Clarence, and the wider community, the opportunity to witness this historic moment in Tasmania’s sporting history at the team’s future home.
“This is a momentous occasion, and it is very fitting that we can bring the announcement to the community from below where the community oval of the High Performance Centre is planned to be located,” Mayor Blomeley said.

“We saw just how quickly tickets to attend the various launch sites around the state were snapped up, particularly in Hobart, and reached out to the club to offer our support.
“A Tasmanian AFL team is well overdue and there is an air of excitement building around the announcement of the name, logo, colours, and jumper. I’m sure this will be a fantastic event where the community can come together to celebrate the launch of our AFL and AFLW teams.
“Having Tasmania’s AFL team based in Clarence is an exciting opportunity and game changing for our city, opening a wide range of possibilities for the surrounding businesses in Rosny and Bellerive, Rosny College, and future developments.
“It also provides Clarence City Council the opportunity to design the Rosny Parkland and Charles Hard Park precinct around the Centre using the principles of the City Heart Plan to build something truly wonderful for our community, that will be a source of pride for generations.”
People wishing to attend the event are encouraged to bring picnic rugs and fold-out seating. Some food and drink will be available. Attendees may bring their own food and drink to the event.
Parking will be available nearby at the Rosny Bowls Club and Rosny College.
