PMAT Alliance

Planning Matters Alliance Tasmania (PMAT) is united with a common concern over the weakening of the state’s planning rules. The Tasmanian Planning Scheme is set to come into effect in 2024/25 and PMAT is committed to making it better.

The level of collaboration and solidarity emerging within this planning campaign and the groups involved is unprecedented in lutruwita/Tasmania and crosses community group genres: Recreation, Environment, Urban/local community associations, European built heritage, rate payers and Friends of groups.

THERE ARE OVER 70 ALLIANCE MEMBER GROUPS FROM ACROSS TASMANIA. View list here.
