Tasmanian City Council votes

We are tracking the votes of our city councils and debates for projects/changes which impact on bike riding and have included all the decisions we are aware of in this recent council term.

Tasmania’s councils were last elected in October 2022 to serve four-year terms, so the next elections are due in 2026. 

If you are aware of an upcoming or past vote on a project which affects bike riding let us know and we’ll add it to our list. Pre 2022 votes can be viewed in our archive.
