Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy Review

The Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy (STRLUS) is one of three land use strategies in Tasmania and is a long-term plan to facilitate and manage change, growth, and development, whilst protecting our natural values, within Southern Tasmania to 2035.

Since the preparation of the STRLUS in 2011, the Southern Tasmanian region has experienced population growth, and new economic and social conditions are driving change. There have also been changes to planning policy and legislation such as the introduction of the Tasmanian Planning Scheme and the Tasmanian Planning Policies. Therefore a review is required.

The STRLUS applies to the  twelve Councils of Southern Tasmania including Brighton, Central Highlands, Clarence, Derwent Valley, Glamorgan Spring-Bay, Glenorchy, Hobart, Huon Valley, Kingborough, Sorell, Southern Midlands and Tasman.

State of Play Report

The State of Play Report is the first step in updating the STRLUS. It 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.

The State of Play Report begins the conversation about what we know about the future of the Region and what we should consider in updating the STRLUS.
