This guide was created to help the Tasmanian community comment on the State Coastal Policy Position Paper which closed on the 21 Octobber 2024.
The Tasmanian Government has released a State Coastal Policy Position Paper for public comment to fast-track changes to Tasmania’s State Coastal Policy. Note this is a separate process to the Validation (State Coastal Policy) Bill 2024 which we expect to be debated in the Legislative Council on 30 October 2024.
The proposed changes to Tasmania’s State Coastal Policy will profoundly weaken the Policy and the way coasts are managed and protected in Tasmania.
Tasmania’s coast is unique and largely unspoilt, thanks to the State Coastal Policy, which has protected it for almost 30 years.
