Public Consultation on remake of Local Government (General) Regulations 2015 and Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015

The Tasmanian Government has commenced a public consultation process to gather feedback on the proposed legislative changes to the Local Government (General) Regulations 2015 and the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.

The current Local Government Meeting Procedures and General Regulations are due to expire in June 2025 and so need to be remade. The process of remaking the Regulations provides an opportunity for the Government to review them and seek feedback from councils, the community and other stakeholders to ensure the Regulations remain up to date and relevant.

A consultation package has been developed to assist in providing feedback and includes:

You can provide feedback up until 5pm on 1 April 2025. Any feedback received will be considered and the Regulations will be updated as appropriate.
