Benefits

There are many benefits to individual councils in becoming a member of a local government group such as TTV, including
• The opportunity to join an advocacy body and have issues advanced on council’s behalf
• Networking opportunities across the sector
• Communication channels at both the State and Federal level
• Access to information regarding forest policy development
• Opportunity to direct projects and policy initiatives that benefit the local government sector.

Eligibility

Membership of the Association is open to all Victorian municipalities where forest industries are recognised as significant contributors to the economy and community. Timber Towns Victoria currently has 21 member councils across the state. Forest based industries and other interest groups are not represented by the Association.

Each member council may nominate two representatives to attend meetings, one of whom must be an elected councillor.

Administration of TTV is vested in the Executive Committee. This committee comprises eight nominated representatives from the member councils. A President, Vice president and Treasurer are appointed annually and the Association is supported by a part-time Executive Officer. The Executive Committee meets on alternate months to the General Meetings of Association.
