Overview and Processes

OVERVIEW

The Tasmanian State Government is moving all Councils to a single Planning Scheme, known as the Tasmanian Planning Scheme. The Tasmanian Planning Scheme is made up of two parts: the State Planning Provisions (SPPs) and Local Provisions Schedules (LPS). The diagram below shows how they fit together.

The State Planning Provisions (SPPs) are the planning rules, standardised zones and codes, approved by the Minister for Planning. They will apply across Tasmania.

Each Council area will also have a Local Provisions Schedule (LPS) that sets out where the zones and codes will apply.

Below is a diagram describing the process that will be followed to introduce the new planning scheme in Kingborough.
