Welcome to the Southern Midlands of Tasmania, where a blend of good old fashioned values and modern ideas co-exist. The Southern Midlands Council is a rural local government authority with approximately 3,800 rateable properties and 6,000 persons scattered throughout the districts.
Recycle Rewards is a key initiative of the Tasmanian Government which aims to reduce litter and create clean streams of recycled materials that will help build Australia's Circular economy.
Once the network is fully established, there will be a network of 49 refund points across the state, including on King and Flinders Islands.

The Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania (NRE Tasmania) has recently conducted a calicivirus release around Bagdad/Mangalore and Pontville area on March 3rd, 2025, as part of ongoing efforts to manage wild rabbit populations.
These releases aim to provide relief to landowners and land managers by reducing rabbit numbers. However, as calicivirus is a naturally occurring virus, its success in the environment cannot be guaranteed. While Biosecurity Tasmania has chosen the most suitable time for this release, there will always be a percentage of rabbits that remain unaffected. Research indicates that without further management, surviving rabbits can rapidly repopulate under favourable conditions.
