PMAT Community Meeting to Scrap Development Assessment Panels (DAPs) and Maintain Planning Appeal Rights.
Thank you to the 45 Taroona community members that attended PMAT’s 6th #SCRAPTHEDAP Public Meeting, co-hosted with Taroona Community Assocation, Taroona Environment Network and the Tasmanian Conservation Trust.
Meg Webb – Independent Member for Nelson in the Legislative Council (upper house of the Tasmanian Parliament)
Unanimously carried. Motion passed through show of hands.
Event information:
The Tasmanian Liberal Government want to remove planning appeal rights and replace local councils with a “developer-friendly” assessment and approval process (DAPs), on 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, ratepayers and communities out of planning.
The Government has released a draft DAP Bill with public comment closing 24 April 2025.
