Alliance Members - Planning Matters Alliance Tasmania

PMAT Alliance Member Groups

Planning Matters Alliance Tasmania (PMAT) brings together almost 80 diverse community groups from across lutruwita/Tasmania, united by a shared commitment to better planning for people, nature and future generations. Land use planning shapes how our land is developed, conserved and used, and determines how much say communities have in those decisions — which is why so many different groups have joined us. Our Alliance spans recreation, environment, urban and local community associations, heritage, ratepayer and Friends of groups, reflecting the many ways that planning affects life in Tasmania.

What our Alliance Member Groups say

"PMAT is a unique planning watchdog. Representing an alliance of 60 diverse community organisations drawn from across Tasmania, PMAT monitors planning proposals at all levels of government, in all constituencies and across social, cultural and natural environments. The organisation has rapidly become a recognised, respected and informed voice advocating for the protection of all that makes Tasmania special for both residents and tourists."

"Dear Sophie, please accept our sincere congratulations on PMAT being awarded the Bob Brown Foundation Environmental Group of the Year. Your team's work is truly inspiring, and continues to make our Society proud and honoured to be an Alliance member. For retention of our beautiful State's natural treasures, the continual vital need for planning provisions and reform with systemic community empowerment and involvement, PMAT's excellent work is just enormous. We feel your prestigious Awards to date are very understandable, and thoroughly deserved, and our heartfelt thanks accompany our congratulations!"
