The Kentish and Latrobe Councils are located in the north-west of Tasmania and share municipal boundaries with Kentish Council, Devonport City Council, West Tamar Council and Meander Valley Council.

Latrobe and Kentish Councils value collaboration and partnerships both within and outside their municipalities. As part of their business model, the councils have entered into a resource-sharing arrangement. This allows both councils to deliver services and outcomes for their respective communities to gain benefits that may have been otherwise unattainable. 

Since the inception of the resource sharing arrangements in 2010, the number of resources shared has steadily grown and the two Councils now operate as one organisation with each Council retaining their respective elected representatives.

Applications must be submitted on either the Latrobe Council or Kentish Council website.
