The Local Government Board has advised that the status quo will not remain and is proposing a combination of structural change and specific “supporting reforms”. These reforms have been developed from input from approximately 4,000 of Tasmania’s 558,000 population.
This consultation identified nine (9) community catchment areas from the 29 current Councils. The Kentish Council area has been identified within the Cradle Coast Community Catchment area, along with the current Latrobe Council, Devonport City Council, Central Coast Council, Burnie City Council and Waratah-Wynyard Council areas.
