PMAT’s founding platform seeks to improve the liveability and wellbeing of all Tasmanians.
One of PMAT’s founding concerns was the poor residential standards of the State Planning Provisions. This concern was shared by the Local Government Association of Tasmania who resolved in 2018 to write to the then Minister for Planning Peter Gutwein to request a review of the State Planning Provisions for residential standards.

TasPIN understands the push for increased density in our residential zones, cities, suburbs, and townships. However, this must not be at the expense of what matters for Tasmanians and future proofing for climate change. Character, sense of place, climate resilience, quality design and building, housing choice, affordable housing, and retaining the comparative advantage ofTasmania: all these are critical as the planning reforms push for increased density.

PMAT was identified as a key stakeholder and was asked to provide feedback on the Discussion Paper to inform the project moving forward.
