Current Planning Scheme

 

The current Scheme for Kingborough is the Kingborough Interim Planning Scheme 2015.

Planning schemes are statutory documents implementing the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 (LUPAA).  Each municipality in Tasmania has their own scheme; including ‘interim’ schemes, or if they have transitioned as part of the State Government Planning Reform, they would be on the Tasmanian Planning Scheme.

Information about the incoming Tasmanian Planning Scheme

The Scheme provides the criteria to be used to determine if a planning permit is required and which assessments are required, depending on the planning controls that affect the site, such as zones and overlays.

LUPAA requires that a planning assessment includes an assessment against the Scheme, elements of LUPAA and representations received for applications that are required to be advertised.
