Planning Scheme - George Town Council Local Provision Schedule and State Planning Provision

George Town Council is now operating under the Tasmanian Planning Scheme, which governs all use and development of land within the local government area.

This Scheme is made up of two components;

• The State Planning Provisions, which are a set of State wide planning rules; and
• The George Town Local Provision Schedule, which includes planning rules specific to the George Town local government area and the maps which identify which specific zones and codes apply to which land.

The State Planning Provisions and George Town Local Provision Schedule (Effective 4^th October 2023) can be viewed at the following link:

The scheme maps can be viewed via the Land Information System of Tasmania, by applying the “Tasmanian Planning Scheme - Zones” layer and “Tasmanian Planning Scheme – Code Overlay” layer, or by clicking here
