Revelations the Hodgman government secretly approved an ‘Authority’ for the Mt Wellington Cable Car Company to enter protected land on the summit of kunanyi/Mt Wellington to begin drilling as part of the controversial cable car project, just days before the Tasmanian state election was called, highlights the lack of proper process and need for robust planning laws.

“The Greens Party has responded to the community’s concerns that the Liberal government’s planning reforms have gone too far, and addresses many of the fundamental concerns shared by our 58 member groups,” said PMAT Coordinator Sophie Underwood.
