Local government in Tasmania consists of 29 councils making up the local general government sector, and a local government public non-financial corporations sector comprising three bulk water supply authorities and one waste management authority. The bulk water authorities were previously owned by the State Government, and have been progressively devolved to the constituent councils. The financial information is presented on a consolidated basis, which means that transactions and balances between entities within the total public sector are eliminated to avoid double counting.
