What is this about?

The site is currently zoned Utilities and development of the site for residential housing is prohibited under the zone.

The proposed Order if approved, will result in part of the land being rezoned to the General Residential Zone.

Rezoning the land will enable the Department of Communities Tasmania to increase their supply of social and affordable housing within the Glenorchy.

See the lifecycle below for the steps in the process.
