Huon Valley Council has been given the direction from the Tasmanian Planning Commission that the Tasmanian Planning Scheme (Huon Valley Local Provision Schedule and State Planning Provisions) will take effect from Saturday, 20 July 2024.
A copy of this decision, which includes the final Huon Valley Local Provisions Schedule, can be found on the Tasmanian Planning Commission website: www.planning.tas.gov.au/assessments-and-hearings/current-assessments-and-hearings/lps-huo-tps
The Tasmanian Planning Commission will contact everyone who lodged a representation regarding the zoning of their land. If you have any questions around the decision, please contact the Tasmanian Planning Commission on (03) 6165 6828
What this means for planning applications
If you already have a valid planning application under assessment at Council, there will be no change to your assessment process. Your valid application will still be assessed under the Interim Planning Scheme (IPS) which is the scheme that was in place when you submitted your application.
If you have lodged an application and been advised in writing by Council that it is not yet ‘valid’ – then the scheme (IPS or TPS) that is in effect once the application becomes valid will apply.
If your application is not yet valid, please contact the planning officer working on your application to discuss how to make your application valid.
Council has been advised that PlanBuild Tasmania and ListMap will be updated to reflect the new planning scheme in 4-6 weeks.
