Governance
General Manager: Bill Costin
Welcome to the Sorell Council Web Site.
Through this medium we hope to present information that will be of assistance to our residents and business community and to also provide, through various links, details concerning tourism opportunities, accommodation and through Service Tasmania options for payment of accounts and making enquiries.
We also intend to publish on a regular basis the full Agenda for Council meetings, as well as the Minutes of each meeting and we will update this material on a 3 weekly basis to coincide with the Council meetings.
Other publications including the Annual Report, the quarterly Community Newsletter and the Strategic Plan will be displayed from time to time.
We would welcome any feedback concerning other material that you may wish to see included.
I hope you find this web-site interesting and useful.
