PMAT community meeting – Everyone Welcome
Your democracy is under threat. The Tasmanian Liberal Government wants to pass laws to remove your voice. Planning appeal rights at risk!
The Tasmanian Liberal Government wants to remove planning appeal rights and replace them with a “developer-friendly” assessment and approval process (DAPs – Development Assessment Panels) across private and public land, including our World Heritage Areas and National Parks.
It is critical for transparency, democracy and good planning that checks and balances are in place, ensuring property developers and decision makers are kept to account. DAPs and removal of appeal rights put these at risk and take local councillors, voters, and communities out of planning.
The Government has said it intends to bring the Bill back in 2025.
