Waratah-Wynyard Council is a local government body in Tasmania, situated in the north-west of the state. Waratah-Wynyard is classified as a rural local government area and has a population of 13,800,[1] the major towns and localities of the region include Savage River, Sisters Beach, Somerset, Waratah and the principal town of Wynyard.
On 2 April 1993, the municipalities of Waratah and Wynyard were amalgamated to form the Waratah-Wynyard Council.[2] There had been suggestion of renaming the council to Table Cape, which was the former name of the Wynyard Council until 1945, but this move failed at the ballot box.[3]
Waratah-Wynyard is classified as rural, agricultural and very large under the Australian Classification of Local Governments.[4]
Logoedit
Waratah-Wynyard Council logo (1987-2017)
The former logo of the council was selected from 124 competition entries in 1987. The enlarged "W" below Table Cape is indicative of ploughed paddocks representing the rural heritage - a lighthouse and a seagull were added to the final design. The word "Waratah" was added in 1993 following the amalgamation of the councils.
