The Local Government Board has recommended a reduction of councillors at six Tasmanian councils.

The Minister for Local Government Bryan Green said today he was now seeking feedback from councils and their communities before deciding whether to accept the recommendations.

Mr Green said seven councils had asked to be included in the review of councillor numbers.

The Board recommended a reduction in the numbers at Central Coast, Devonport City, Glamorgan-Spring Bay, Glenorchy City, Kingborough and Tasman Councils, and no change at Break O'Day Council.

"The Local Government Board has developed a framework for determining the appropriate number of councillors for each council across the State and I urge those interested to have a look at the Board's work and provide me with their comments," Mr Green said.

Mr Green said he would make a decision on the Board's recommendations before the end of year.
