Southern Midlands Council

Southern Midlands of Tasmania, where a blend of good old fashioned values and modern ideas co-exist.

The Southern Midlands Council is a rural local government authority with approximately 3800 rateable properties and 6000 persons scattered throughout the districts. The Southern Midlands, and its many historic towns, are a wealth of historic cultural heritage. With settlement dating back to the early 1810s, by 1823 much of the land had been granted, and settlers were busy creating their ‘little slice of home’.
