The Planning Matters Alliance Tasmania (PMAT) urges you to ask your State election candidates their position on three critically important issues for Tasmanian’s future and democracy.

 The three critical planning related issues are:

  1. The potential of removing planning from local Councils which will minimise community involvement and reduce local knowledge in development decisions, advantaging developers at the expense of ratepayers, character and amenity. This issue is as big, if not even bigger, than amalgamation. PMAT wants to keep planning local.

The Planning Matters Alliance Tasmania (PMAT) urges you to ask your State election candidates their position on three critically important issues for Tasmanian’s future and democracy.

 The three critical planning related issues are:

  1. The potential of removing planning from local Councils which will minimise community involvement and reduce local knowledge in development decisions, advantaging developers at the expense of ratepayers, character and amenity. This issue is as big, if not even bigger, than amalgamation. PMAT wants to keep planning local.
  2. Creating a new fast track process to implement the Tasmanian Planning Scheme putting the places that you love at risk. e.g. imagine if the Cambria Green re-zoning could take effect without being advertised.
  3. Your rights to appeal developments are under threat, undermining democracy. Proposed changes will make it too expensive for the average person or community group to appeal developments.

PMAT was named the national 2020 Planning Champion by the Planning Institute of Australia for their planning advocacy. Learn more about PMAT, an alliance of over 70 community groups across Tasmania at www.planningmatterstas.org.au.
