1. regional planning and regional land use planning tasks set by the Land Use and Building Act
2. regional planning, regional strategic programme and implementation plan tasks set by EU and national legislation
3. tasks set by other legislation
4. representing interests of the region and cultural, internationalisation, educational and municipal tasks set by the member municipalities
