Tasmania is split into three planning regions, which are made up of multiple local government areas.
While the regions share common issues, each region is also unique and needs specific responses to develop sustainably.
Regional land use strategies (RLUS) are a key tool of the framework. They set long-term planning directions for each region, influencing land use and development and providing a critical link between State and local planning.
The regional planning framework provides the basis for regional planning in Tasmania. The framework is made of legal, regulatory, and administrative tools that guide regional planning.
