Hobart Draft Local Provisions Schedule

Consultation has concluded

The Hobart Draft Local Provisions Schedule is now open for public comment.

The Tasmanian Government has legislated to replace the current planning schemes for each Tasmanian Council with a single, Tasmania wide, planning scheme to manage use and development of land.

The Tasmanian Planning Scheme is made up of two parts: the State Planning Provisions and the Local Provisions Schedule (LPS), which apply to individual local government areas.

The City of Hobart, as planning authority, is responsible for preparing the Hobart draft Local Provisions Schedule (draft LPS), the local component of the Tasmanian Planning Scheme that will apply only to the City of Hobart municipal area.

The Hobart draft LPS will be the new planning scheme that applies to the City of Hobart once it is formally approved by the Tasmanian Planning Commission.

What this means is that the Hobart draft LPS will control how land in our municipality can be used and developed. It contains maps of the Zones and Codes that apply to use and development, as well as the specific provisions that apply to each parcel of land.

Engaging with the community is an important part in this process and the Hobart draft LPS is now on public exhibition.

Engagement closes 30 June 2023.
