RACT expands with community hub at Eastlands

IN a move designed to give members on Hobart’s Eastern Shore the highest standard of personalised service, RACT is opening a new store at Eastlands Shopping Centre.

RACT chief operating officer Stacey Pennicott said the Eastlands store was created with members’ needs in mind, whether updating insurance, joining roadside assistance or taking driving lessons.

“As a trusted Tasmanian institution, RACT continues to evolve, and this latest development reinforces our commitment to supporting the community and our members,” she said.

“We’re excited to launch a new driver training service on the Eastern Shore, making it easier for locals, including students from Rosny College and surrounding areas, to learn to drive close to home.

Ms Pennicott said lessons can be booked online or in-store, and as a special offer, anyone who had a lesson before the end of March would receive a $10 Everyday Rewards card.

“We hope this store will be more than just a service point and will act as a connected community hub and provide a welcoming environment where members can access personalised advice and valuable resources,” she said.

“The space has been thoughtfully crafted to seamlessly blend cutting-edge technology with a warm, human touch.

“One standout feature is the private areas for one-on-one consultations, ensuring members can discuss their needs comfortably and confidently.”

Self-help technology stations will be available for quick, efficient transactions, while high-quality displays showcase information to keep visitors informed.

Ms Pennicott said that RACT aimed to deliver a functional, stress-free environment that transformed every visit into a positive experience.

“The ground-floor location opposite Kmart offers convenient access for shoppers and visitors alike,” she said.

“We’ve created this innovative space with our members’ needs in mind by enhancing accessibility and maintaining the high standard of service they expect.

“We can’t wait to welcome everyone to this exciting new store.”
