Housing Choices Tasmania Community Initiatives Tasmanian Residents Advisory Committee (TRAC) The Tasmanian Residents Advisory Committee meets four times a year and provides Housing Choices with resident feedback on policy, procedures and general matters. It’s an important way for us to understand the needs of our residents, and a great way for you to help improve the services we offer. Each meeting lasts for around an hour and a half. The meetings are usually on the north west coast, however we can provide a meeting room and video conferencing equipment for members in the south.

Waste Collection In Tasmania, each local

council has different rules around waste management. This includes what bins are provided for household waste, recycling and green waste, and how often bins are collected. You can find your local council’s contact number and their website that you can visit for more information on pages 39-40 . Some councils offer hard waste collections once per year, for getting rid of items that are too big for regular bin collections.

TIP!

To find out what days your bins will be collected, you can chat with a neighbour or keep an eye on the street for other bins. Your local council can also provide this information for you.

If you would like to discuss becoming a

TRAC member, please contact our Community Development team.
