The Hodgman Government is ‘reforming’ Tasmania’s planning laws to make it easier for developers to gain approvals by weakening protections, watering down assessment rigor and winding back public engagement and opportunities to appeal.
This is complex, detailed and happening right now.
One day it will affect you; when a development is built in your favourite national park or reserve, when apartments are built overshadowing your backyard or the character and amenity of you neighbourhood is altered for good.
Find out more at an upcoming public meeting.
Date Tues 8 Nov 2016 (World Planning Day)
Time 1.10 pm – 2 pm
Venue Hobart Town Hall, 50 Macquarie Street, Hobart, Tasmania
Speakers to include Michael Buxton Professor of Environment and Planning at the School of Global, Urban and Social Studies, RMIT University.
More speakers to be announced soon.
