Tasmanian Planning Scheme

The Tasmanian Planning Scheme TPS provides a single, consistent set of rules for land use, development, protection, and conservation statewide. It came into effect on 22 July 2020, replacing the Burnie Interim Planning Scheme 2013.

Key Components:

1. Zoning Map: Specifies land use purposes (e.g., residential, business, agriculture).
2. Overlay Maps: Highlight specific land use considerations (e.g., natural hazards, heritage values).
3. Written Document: Details the permit and compliance requirements.

Structure of the Scheme:

• State Planning Provisions: Mandatory statewide rules.
• Local Provision Schedule (LPS): Custom rules tailored to each municipality.

The Burnie Local Provision Schedule (BUR LPS) defines how the scheme applies within Burnie.
