This covers questions about planning rules, complaints about possible breaches of the planning scheme and formal appeals against a council's planning decision.
When it comes to planning, your local council acts as the planning authority for your area and is responsible for assessing development applications.
For general questions or complaints your first point of contact should always be your local council. This includes:
- Questions about the planning scheme.
- Complaints about a potential breach of the planning scheme or a permit condition.
If you were the applicant or you made a formal representation on a development application, you may be able to appeal the council's final decision. These appeals are not handled by the council. They are handled by the Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
