Association CEO Moving On

The President of the Local Government Association of Tasmania, Mayor Barry Jarvis,
announced today the departure of long-serving CEO, Allan Garcia, who is leaving the
organisation to take up the role of CEO of Infrastructure Tasmania with the State
Government.

“Allan has provided dedicated and strong leadership to the Tasmanian Local Government
sector, leading the review of financial reform between State and Local Government,
establishing a framework for councils to progress with financial sustainability, managing
the several iterations of water and sewerage reform, and progressing planning reform,”
Mayor Jarvis said.

“Allan has provided a strong advocacy voice for Local Government and is respected by
his peers within Local Government, as well as those he deals with in State Government,
the business community and the public.”

“I would take this opportunity to wish Allan well in his new endeavours and advise that the
Board of the Association will be meeting in the near future to consider the process for the
appointment of his replacement,” he said.
