EDO welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Draft Tasmanian Planning Policies (TPPs) before they are submitted for consideration by the Tasmanian Planning Commission. The TPPs will provide the overarching guidance and direction of both Regional Land Use Strategies (RLUS) and the Tasmanian Planning Scheme. Our submission focused on the need for the TPPs to adequately reflect and respond to the key issues facing lutruwita/ Tasmania in the context of twin extinction and climate crises. The submission provided high-level comments to address key issues and strengthen and clarify the TPPs.
