The State Government is in the process of moving all Councils to a single planning scheme to create uniformity in planning across Tasmania. Kingborough Council has been working with the Tasmanian Planning Commission to transition to the new scheme.
An important part of this process is the public exhibition of the proposed Scheme which is a 60-day public consultation period which concluded on Monday, 9 December 2024.
A report on the representations (S35F Report) was presented to Council on Monday, 21 July 2025. The agenda can be viewed here: Agenda – 21 July 2025 – Kingborough Council
Council provided the above-mentioned report and all representations to the Tasmanian Planning Commission who is currently hosting public hearings allowing all representors to speak to their representations.
The public hearing schedule is available on the Tasmanian Planning Commission website.
While the public hearings are primarily intended for representors to speak to their submissions, they are open to the public, and anyone is welcome to attend and observe. If you wish to attend a hearing, please contact the Tasmanian Planning Commission (TPC) directly for details.
