Public comment sought on the review of the Tasmanian planning system
The Department of Justice is seeking submissions from the general public, local councils, organisations, landowners, and any interested parties as part of the review of the States planning system.
The Review's objective is 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. It will also look 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.
