Review of Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy

What is the Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy?

The Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy (STRLUS) is one of three land use strategies in Tasmania that applies across the southern Tasmanian region.

The STRLUS is a broad policy document that will facilitate and manage change, growth, and development within Southern Tasmania over the next 25 years. It provides comprehensive land use policies and strategies for the region based upon development within Southern Tasmania.

The STRLUS came from a joint initiative between State and Local Government (the Regional Planning Initiative), and was initially approved by the Minister for Planning in 2010.

The STRLUS is a permanent feature of the planning system, monitored, maintained and reviewed regularly over time. This document forms part of an ongoing process of regional land use planning across the State that will ensure the policies and strategies remain relevant and responsive. The existing STRLUS is currently under review.

More information is available on regional land use strategies here.

Where does the Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy apply?

Southern Tasmania encompasses the twelve local government areas of: Brighton, Central Highlands, Clarence, Derwent Valley, Glamorgan Spring-Bay, Glenorchy, Hobart, Huon Valley, Kingborough, Sorell, Southern Midlands and Tasman.

Under Review

The existing STRLUS is under review to reflect a number of things:

  • The changing demographic and economic conditions in Tasmania;
  • Reforms to the planning system, including the Tasmanian Planning Scheme; and
  • Implement the Tasmanian Planning Policies at the regional level.

The review commenced in 2022 as a joint project between the State Government and the Councils in the Southern Region.

What is the new State of Play document?

The State of Play document summarises available data and information on a range of issues to understand the key issues and influences in the Region and the causes of growth and change. It addresses what we know from past experience, what is currently happening, and (for some issues) projections of what may occur over the next 25-30 years.

This document forms a substantial input into the current review and we invite the Glamorgan Spring Bay community to read this.

Council has recently developed a Natural Resources Management (NRM) and Climate Resilience Strategy. This strategy provides an overview of the Natural Resources of the Glamorgan Spring Bay municipality, the pressures on those resources and priority actions for their management. The strategy provides a framework for cross-tenure collaboration and cooperative action over the next five years.

The strategy documents include the formal strategy,  a summary version and an extract with the executive summary and the tables with objectives, goals, actions and measures of success for the people who want a quick look at the actions.

The strategy is considered to be a “living” document that will be progressively developed as it is put into action.
