The Future of Local Government in Tasmania

The Tasmanian Government has commissioned a Local Government Board Review into the Future of Local Government in Tasmania.

The objective of the Review is to create a more robust and capable system of local government that is ready for the challenges and opportunities of the future. The Board will make recommendations on the future role, functions and design of local government and the structural, legislative and financial reforms required to meet this objective.

The Review will be conducted over an eighteen-month period in three distinct stages. Further details on the Review are set out in the Review Terms of Reference.

The Minister for Local Government and Planning, the Hon Roger Jaensch MP has appointed a six-person Board to undertake the Review.

The Board members are:

Ms Sue Smith - Chair
Ms Pam Allan
Mr Ric De Santi
Ms Kym Goodes
Mr Paul West
Mr Mathew Healey 

The Board commenced the Review in January 2022 and is undertaking a broad program of community engagement and consultation in the first half of the year.
