West Coast Council

The West Coast Council is located in the heart of the majestic wilderness of Tasmania’s beautiful West Coast. We are a proud community. One that is connected, enjoys our lifestyle surrounded by our unique natural heritage and works together for the benefit of the residents, business owners and visitors to our stunning Region. Covering 9,575sq kms, the West Coast municipality is the gateway to Tasmania’s wilderness. Coastal populations include Strahan, situated on Macquarie Harbour, and the picturesque shack sites of Granville Harbour and Trial Harbour. The inland communities of Queenstown, Zeehan, Tullah and Rosebery and the small townships of Gormanston and Linda, are all within a short distance from magnificent lakes, rivers, rainforests, dunes and historic sites. The West Coast is celebrated for its tourism, mining, renewable energy, fishing and world class mountain bike trails. The clean air, mild climate and strong commitment to community make the West Coast a fantastic and unique place to be.
