The raw data in the CDC (that is, data that has not been analysed) has been available to the public to access and use since 2017.
All CDC datasets collected since 2000 can be downloaded via the open data portal of the Land Information System Tasmania (the LIST) by scrolling to the ‘Tasmanian Local Government Consolidated Data Collection (CDC)’.

There is also a summary table for each council on LISTmap that includes demographic, financial, infrastructure, planning and workforce information taken from the latest CDC.
The Office of Local Government does not guarantee that CDC data is correct. Until 2016-17, the financial data had been checked against each council’s audited financial statements. From 2017-18, the financial data used in the CDC is audited council data and is consistent with the Auditor-General’s reports. All other data is checked only for completeness but is not audited. All checks are undertaken through an independent validation process.
For information about specific data in the CDC, contact the council concerned. Contact details for councils is available in the Tasmanian council directory.
For more information about using CDC data, see the metadata record on the open data page at LISTdata.
