We want to know – what do you think are the most important issues for Glamorgan Spring Bay?
Glamorgan Spring Bay
Glamorgan Spring Bay sits on the southern end of the East Coast, spanning from the Douglas River in the North, toward Tooms Lake and Lake Leake in the west, down to Cape Bernier Nature Reserve and Maria Island in the south.
The region shares boundaries with the Northern Midlands, Break O’Day, Southern Midlands, and Sorell Councils.
The population of the municipality is about 4400 people, with major towns in the region being Triabunna, Bicheno, Orford, Swansea, and Coles Bay.
The region has an ageing population, with the median age at 53-years-old.
Many members of the community have employment in the tourism, fishing, grazing, and aquaculture industries.
