Policies made under the State Policies and Projects Act
State Policies are policies made under the State Policies and Projects Act 1993. They lay out the Tasmanian Government's strategic policy direction on matters of state significance related to the sustainable development of natural and physical resources, land use planning, land management, environmental management and environment protection.
State Policies do not override legislation. They are implemented through Tasmania's planning, development and regulatory systems, including incorporation into planning schemes or special planning orders.
Find more information about State Policies at the State Planning Office website.
There are currently three State Policies operational in Tasmania. The Australian Government's National Environment Protection Measures are also taken to be State Policies in Tasmania. Find more information about National Environment Protection Measures at the Environment Protection Authority Tasmania website.
