Chair of the Cradle Coast Statewide Planning Reform Steering Committee, Mayor Anita Dow spoke ahead of a presentation by Burnie City Council's Director Land and Environmental Services Patrick Earle at a workshop this morning. According to the Minister for Planning Hon. Peter Gutwein MP, "there is only around 15 per cent consistency in respect of planning schemes across the state". "Under the Tasmanian Planning Scheme, there will be around 80 per cent consistency statewide, providing more clarity and certainty for everyone. "This is all about creating a planning system that is fairer, faster, cheaper and simpler that will make it easier to invest in Tasmania, encouraging more economic development and job creation. One statewide planning system will provide confidence for those looking to invest and expand.”
