It hasn't met for more than three years and the federal government says no decisions on future meetings have been made.
The council was set up by the Abbott Government in 2013 and its membership included the Prime Minister, Federal Treasurer and State Premier and Treasurer.
Franklin Labor MHR Julie Collins has raised questions about what the council has achieved and whether it will continue.
"Tasmanians have a right to know how much this council - which appears to have been dumped - has cost taxpayers and what it has achieved," Ms Collins said.
"Despite claims it has still been operating, the council has not officially met in more than three years.
"The State and Federal Liberal Governments should also come clean on why this council appears to have been dumped in the middle of our country's first recession in 30 years.
"Now is the worst time to be withdrawing any mechanisms that support cooperation between the state and federal governments."
Assistant Minister for Regional Development and Territories Nola Marino confirmed the council last met on April 20, 2017 and the JCTEC Business Advisory Group on March 13, 2019.
"No decisions on future meetings of the JCTEC have been made," Ms Marino said.
"The Australian Government continues to engage closely with the Tasmanian Government on a range of issues to foster strong employment and economic growth in the state.
"This active engagement between the Australian and Tasmanian Governments through these priority initiatives will continue to improve Tasmania's economic outlook."
Ms Marino said Regional Development Australia Tasmania also continued to work closely with local councils, the state government and other stakeholders "to boost growth and development in Tasmania's regional communities".
Prominent businessman Dale Elphinstone, who was on the council's business group, said he was not aware that the government's infrastructure website listed positions on the council as vacant.
"It's news to me - we haven't been overly active lately but with COVID-19 we are looking at other things and others have taken over what we have been doing," Mr Elphinstone said.
"It would be confusing to have too many groups going when we have a COVID-19 commissioner and the Tasmanian Premier's recovery council too."
Tasmanian Liberal senator Eric Abetz said when the Liberal Party came to power in 2013 "Tasmania was an economic basket case".
"We turbo charged the economy and before COVID_19 hit everyone accepted Tasmania was the turnaround state so its purpose has been achieved," he said.
