''Seven Tasmania Nightly News'' is presented by Kim Millar from Monday to Friday, with rotating presenters on weekends. The Tasmania-based news service gained attention on social media after its former owner SCA initially planned to rebrand the former ''Southern Cross News'' brand to ''Seven News Tasmania'' from 1 July 2018. The launch of the rebranded news service was delayed without prior notice. When asked by ABC's Media Watch, the CEO of SCA Grant Blackley stated that the Seven Network did not want their name featured on any output they do not control at the time. SCA eventually rebranded the service as ''Seven Tasmania News'' the following December.

'' was a local half-hour bulletin that aired at 5.30pm on weeknights, covering the Gold Coast area of Queensland. The bulletin aired as an opt-out on BTQ-7's Gold Coast relay transmitters, ahead of the main 6pm news from Brisbane, which placed it in direct competition with long-running rival '' Nine Gold Coast News'', which had launched in 1996.

, the bulletin was launched on 4 July 2016 with long-serving presenter and Gold Coast native Rod Young as its first anchor. From its launch, weekend bulletins were also produced, which made Seven the only network to produce local Gold Coast bulletins seven days a week. However, weekend bulletins were axed in November 2017, citing cost-cutting measures. In February 2018, weekend presenter Amanda Abate was paired with Young as a co-anchor, as well as presenting sport. In July 2019, after three years on air, ''Seven News Gold Coast'' officially became the number one news bulletin on the Gold Coast, winning twenty-one weeks to the rival ''Nine Gold Coast News one week. In 2021, Young stepped down from the bulletin, after formally announcing his retirement from television news.

Seven's justification for airing the story was initially that Campbell had misused his ministerial vehicle; however, this allegation was shown to be untrue by other media outlets, as New South Wales ministers have full private use of their ministerial vehicles.
