THE shooting death of a man outside a northern Tasmanian hotel was targeted, police say.
The man in his 40s was shot dead outside the Marrawah Hotel just after midnight (AEST) on Saturday.
"Investigations to date suggest this is not a random act - and that it was a targeted act," police said in a statement.
"We are following a number of lines of inquiry. We have deployed significant resources to the incident and are seeking assistance from the public."
Police have urged anyone with information relating to people acting suspiciously, vehicles moving in the area at the time, hitchhikers or people walking along the road to contact them.
They will continue to have resources in the area and have set up a command post at the scene.
"We encourage the public to be alert to what is going on around them, but not alarmed - but remember that any information could prove vital and don't hesitate to pass it on to us," a police statement said.
The man's next of kin have been notified, but police are not releasing his details at this stage.
Marrawah is a small town of about 400 people in Tasmania's northwest and is approximately 300km from Launceston.
