Elections
Councils have a significant impact on the lives of all Tasmanians. They provide a wide range of services for the wellbeing of the community. These enable the economic, social and cultural development of the community, supporting individuals and groups.
Elected Members play a vital leadership role. They work together to create and implement their community's vision, strategic direction and the values within which they operate.
Lord Mayors, Deputy Lord Mayors and Elected Members are all elected for four-year terms. Mayors and Deputy Mayors are popularly elected.
