Tasmanian Local Government Review – Information for King Island
At the end of 2021, the Tasmanian Government established the Local Government Board and asked it to review the way Tasmanian councils work.
Recently the board released a series of Information Packs. Each pack puts forward several different scenarios for new local government boundaries as well as service delivery models. This document provided specific information and possible scenarios around King Island and local government (https://hdp-au-prod-app-tas-yourvoice-files.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/3416/8539/7581/Western_Community_Catchment_Information_Pack.pdf
