Planning protects our environment — and your support powers that work.

It’s not just our cities and towns that need best practice planning to thrive — our natural environment, communities and democracy do too. More than 50% of Tasmania is made up of precious World Heritage Areas, National Parks and Reserves — but whether those places are protected or put at risk is decided by our planning laws.

PMAT is the only organisation in lutruwita/Tasmania solely focused on advocating for better planning for people and nature. Our work spans the full breadth of planning in Tasmania — from protecting our coastlines, national parks and healthy landscapes, to housing, Aboriginal cultural heritage, state elections and the public’s right to have a say. We’re proudly independent — and that means we rely entirely on your support.

Every donation, large or small, goes directly towards our submissions, campaigns, community guides, events and public meetings. If you can, please consider becoming a regular monthly donor — your ongoing support is the most powerful way to help us keep doing the work that makes a real difference for Tasmania’s people, places and natural environment.

See What Your Support Makes Possible

PMAT works across the full breadth of planning in Tasmania — from protecting our coastlines, national parks, healthy landscapes and natural environment, to housing, Aboriginal cultural heritage, residential standards, Regional Land Use Strategies, heritage, transparency and democracy, and the public’s right to have a say in decisions that shape their communities. Your support is what makes all of it possible.

Tasmanian State Coastal Policy

Tasmania's coastlines are under threat. PMAT is fighting proposed legislation that would fast-track weakening of the State Coastal Policy, stripping back protections for our coasts and the communities and ecosystems that depend on them.

State of The Environment Reporting

Tasmania's natural environment is under serious pressure, as documented in the long-overdue 2024 State of Environment Report. PMAT is pushing for the Tasmanian Government to meet its legal obligation to report every five years and be held accountable for the state of our environment.

Development Assessment Panels (DAPs)

PMAT is fighting proposed legislation that would fast-track developments across public and private land, including Tasmania's National Parks, Reserves and World Heritage Areas, while removing third-party appeal rights and sidelining communities and Local Councils from planning decisions.

National Parks & Reserves

PMAT is working to strengthen protections for Tasmania's National Parks, Reserves and World Heritage Areas, which cover almost 50% of the state, ensuring developments are properly assessed and communities retain the right to comment and appeal.

Housing & Planning

Tasmania faces a critical need for housing, especially social and affordable housing. PMAT believes good planning and transparent decision-making can deliver both more housing and better housing, designed sustainably and with genuine amenity for communities. The planning scheme can and should make this possible.

Community Guides

PMAT produces free community guides to help Tasmanians engage with planning and Local Government processes and have their say on decisions that affect their communities, landscapes and natural environment.

Planning Matters Alliance Tasmania makes an important contribution to public debate, particularly in the context of the Tasmanian Parliament. PMAT has earned a strong reputation amongst parliamentarians of all stripes for its provision of professional, thorough and credible briefings, in which potentially complex planning matters are distilled into an accessible and informative format.

As a busy and under-resourced Member of the Legislative Council, I can attest to the value of both the written and verbal briefings provided by PMAT, which have delivered a useful critique of planning matters before the parliament. PMAT’s success in supporting individuals and communities to mobilise and engage in consultation processes and legislative advocacy contributes to a healthy democracy. I value the strong role PMAT plays in ensuring our democratic decision-making processes remain as robust and evidence-based as possible.
