Cr Joe Pentridge

Councillor

Term expires as Councillor: 2026

First elected: 2022

I am Launceston-born and raised, but also proud of my Croatian heritage.  I was brought up to believe that hard work created opportunities and have continued to apply that throughout my working life.

I joined Launceston's workforce as a boilermaker-welder and through the opportunities that created I have become a developer of industrial and residential sites throughout the city.

Commercial developments have been a specialty and I have acquired expertise in this style of development.

I firmly believe in the principle of reuse, and apply that to restoring and reusing machinery, land sites and residential properties.  I love Launceston's heritage buildings and believe that they must be retained and reused and, where necessary, transformed for modern use.

I also believe everyone deserves a fair go and I will represent the community to the best of my ability taking things on with passion and drive.

Special Council Committees: Heritage Advisory Committee, Launceston Sister City Committee, Tender Review Committee and Transport Committee
