- Every local government administers the planning scheme that controls land use and development within its boundary.
In Tasmania, the legal name for the planning scheme in each local government area is the Tasmanian Planning Scheme – name of council, for example, Tasmanian Planning Scheme – Brighton. This includes what is called the Local Provisions Schedule (LPS).
You can find the current Tasmanian Planning Scheme as it applies to each council area by visiting the Tasmanian Planning Commission’s website. Council websites will also provide links to their other plans and policies.
The LIST has a wide variety of geographic information that is also relevant to planning.
