Burnie Council

The Burnie City Council serves a municipality of 19,000 people. Council strives to achieve the Burnie community’s vision: a vibrant, thriving, beautiful place; a caring community; a regional leader engaged with the world; and a city that lives its dreams.

Burnie overlooks Emu Bay on Tasmania’s north-west coast. The city has a proud industrial past and is a vibrant place to visit. Dense rainforest once surrounded Burnie, but this slowly disappeared as fortunes were made felling and milling timber for its now-closed pulp and paper mill. Since the mill’s closure, the city has reinvented itself as a city of makers and creators.
