Creating consistent standards for apartments:
Medium Density Residential Development Standards Project

The Premier of Tasmania announced a project to amend the planning rules to deliver consistent requirements for apartments built across Tasmania. The new requirements will provide a clear pathway for the approval of apartments and encourage good quality design and liveable spaces.

The Terms of Reference that define the scope of the planning controls are now signed off and available here.

The development standards will be prepared in conjunction with the Central Hobart Precincts Plan as part of the Hobart City Deal, and will be publicly exhibited for comment.

The project is being managed by the Department of Premier and Cabinet's State Planning Office in partnership with Hobart City Council and will be delivered through a future amendment to the single Tasmanian Planning Scheme.
