The Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPAC) and Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT) are working on a joint review of the mapping used in the Landslide Hazard Code of the State Planning Provisions (SPPs) in the Tasmanian Planning Scheme. This mapping underpins both the State’s planning and building regulations.
MRT has prepared and consulted on a draft technical landside planning map, and the updates to the mapping are almost complete. To check that the draft mapping remains true to the intended purpose, it is now being independently peer reviewed.
MRT’s draft landslide planning maps for use in GIS systems, technical and guidance information can now be downloaded from the MRT website.
More information on the SPPs Review work program is available on the Planning in Tasmania website.
