Map: Bell Bay 7253 Tasmania's new Premier has not ruled out the Government acting as a guarantor for the Gunns pulp mill project.

Lara Giddings says the Government has learnt from its previous 'mistakes' in trying to get the controversial Bell Bay pulp mill project approved.

Ms Giddings told ABC Local Radio the Government supports the development but said she had not been personally approached by Gunns.

"We've had no requests as far as I understand from Gunns for that," she said.

"I haven't had any, in that sense, that I've had with Gunns but what I would say is we do need development in this state."

"We have a number of businesses in the Launceston area that were all geared up and ready to be there to help build it and to supply it and so on.

"There are a lot of disappointed businesses around that area that it hasn't already happened."
