As we wrap up 2025, we want to say a heartfelt thank you. This year has been huge, and none of our wins would have been possible without your support, your voice, and your commitment to protecting our communities and the places we love.

 

From seven public meetings across the state, to three submission guides, Public Hearings for the State Coastal Policy, and your participation in the National Liveability Survey, this year’s achievements were truly collective.

 

One of the standout moments came in December, when we received a record amount of over 800 submissions, just through our website alone, on the third iteration of the Development Assessment Panel Bill 2025. Your submissions ensured that decision-makers heard community voices loud and clear — making it unmistakable that Tasmanians will not stand by while community voices, elected councillors, and planning appeal rights are taken out of local planning decisions that affect our towns, neighbourhoods and natural places. This show of support has already strengthened our advocacy and will guide how we push for better planning outcomes in 2026.
