On 21 October 2015 at approximately 10:00am police attended the University of Tasmania, Sandy Bay Campus in response to a request from campus security.

A man identifying himself as representing Fossil Free Tasmania had climbed on to the roof of the plant room of the Centenary Building, off Grosvenor Street.

The 24 year old man refused to come down at the request of University authorities, and as a result was directed to come down by police.  The man refused and was arrested without incident.

The incident was managed safely and peacefully.

The man was charged with Trespass and bailed to a later date.
