"It is our common goal to ensure that the local government sector is both thriving and delivering for Tasmanians," Minister Vincent said.

"This is what the Minister's Local Government Forum is all about, and I welcome any opportunity to discuss and work through what the sector is facing in person.

"Today, the forum was provided with an opportunity to discuss how we are transforming the machinery of the state government through Building Tasmania.
