Membership of the Association is open to local government in rural and regional Australia where the timber industry is recognised as being significant to the local and national economy as well as community. Forest industries and other forestry based interest groups are not represented by the NTCA.
Each member council may nominate two representatives to attend meetings, one of whom must be an elected councillor.
Administration of the NTCA is vested in the Executive Committee. This committee comprises eight nominated representatives from member councils across the state and territories, forming a representative view across Australia.
There are many benefits to individual councils in becoming a member of a local government group such as the NTCA, including:
- The opportunity to join an advocacy body and have issues advanced on council’s behalf at a Federal level
- Networking opportunities across the state, territory and country wide
- 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.
