The Government's review of the Planning System of Tasmania commenced in May 2008. The objective of the review was to identify and make recommendations on streamlined decision making by reviewing the allocation of roles and functions in the planning system between State Ministers and agencies, the RPDC and Appeals Tribunal and others. The Review also looked at how State Policies are reviewed and implemented, the wider use of mediation in resolving planning disputes, the structure of the RPDC, and the assessment of projects of regional significance by expert panels. Additionally the Premier requested the Steering Committee to consider the adequacy of the planning system to deal with climate change issues.
During the period 3 May - 16 June 2008 submissions were invited from the general public, local councils, organisations, landowners, and any other interested parties. Over 60 submissions were received during this time.
Copies of the submissions received during the Review process are available for downloading from the link below.
