What’s the Issue?

A fast track rezone process has begun at Huntingfield to allow for affordable homes. However, the rezone will allow for one of the largest & most dense subdivisions ever proposed in Tasmania. While affordable housing is welcome, the proposal has not been advertised for public comment and will only contain a small % of affordable homes. What will such as massive proposal mean for residents, adjoining schools, increased traffic, strategic planning and pressure on existing services and infrastructure in Kingborough?

This new fast track re-zone process has never been used in Kingborough before, and was created by the Tasmanian Government in 2018. The government is the proponent, they chose who they consulted with and will assess the proposal.  Public scrutiny is completely lacking and Council and the Planning Commission have been sidelined. Does this sound like a transparent process?

Please encourage your friends and family to attend.
