About Our Directorate
The Territory and Municipal Services Directorate (TAMS) delivers a wide range of services which Canberrans rely on every day. These include collecting recycling and rubbish, running public libraries and ensuring municipal infrastructure such as streetlights and public barbeques are in good working order.
TAMS is responsible for managing our roads, footpaths and cycle paths and operating our public transport system (ACTION).
TAMS also looks after the ACT’s parks and reserves, such as Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, Namadgi National Park and the reserves that make up Canberra Nature Park.
Canberra Connect, which is the main contact point for ACT Government information, services and payments, is also part of the directorate.
The directorate also runs a number of the ACT Government’s commercial operations, including ACT NOWaste, Capital Linen Service, Yarralumla Nursery, the ACT Public Cemeteries Authority (which includes Woden, Gungahlin and Hall cemeteries) and ACT Property Group.
We appreciate community feedback on our services, so please let us know what you think by using our feedback area.
