Southern Tasmanian Councils Authority (STCA)

The STCA is committed to being a strong voice for all southern Tasmanian councils, ensuring open, regular communications to communities, partners and stakeholders; and to enable good decision making to represent southern Tasmania.

The authority is made up of representatives from the City of Hobart, Huon Valley, Southern Midlands, Tasman, Derwent Valley, Glamorgan Spring Bay, Sorell, Central Highlands and Brighton councils.

The STCA recently reconfirmed its strategic priorities for 2023-2026, to focus on governance, social and economic wellbeing, climate action and resilience, and planning – all key issues for the City of Hobart.

Between 2023-2026, the STCA will also continue to enable genuine collaboration between southern councils on evidence-based climate action and will deliver the review of the Southern Tasmanian Regional Land Use Strategy, to integrate planning for housing, transport, infrastructure and services; and to drive regional and economic development.
