What does Council do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Councils deliver a wide range of services to their communities, including roads and street lighting, rubbish collection, stormwater drainage, parking and planning, public health inspections, parks and sporting facilities, swimming pools, community halls, childcare, youth and senior services, arts facilities, events and economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To deliver these services, Tasmanian councils collectively employ over 3,771 people with skills ranging from administration and accounting to traffic engineering, horticulture and social work. Services are funded through property rates, fees and government grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Council’s legal role?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Under the Local Government Act 1993, councils are required to provide for the health, safety and welfare of the community, represent community interests, and maintain peace, order and good government in the municipal area. Each council must produce a ten-year strategic plan, an annual plan, and an annual report.
The day-to-day running of Council is the responsibility of the General Manager or CEO, with decisions made collectively by elected members rather than by individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
