Premier's Local Government Council

The Premier's Local Government Council (PLGC) is a forum for the Tasmanian Government and local government to discuss important and topical issues of statewide significance. The PLGC has met at least twice a year since 2000.

Membership

The PLGC is made up of the following members:

  • the Premier, who chairs the meeting
  • the Minister for Local Government
  • the President of the Local Government Association of Tasmania (LGAT)
  • seven local government elected members (mayors, deputy mayors or councillors) who are also members of LGAT's General Management Committee

The PLGC is supported by an Officials Committee made up of senior staff members from the Tasmanian Government, LGAT and three councils.
