The Tasmanian Planning Policies (TPPs) have come into effect from the 1 July 2026.
The TPPs were made by the Minister on 12 November 2025.
This is the first time that Tasmania has had a set of integrated land use planning policies in its history. After State Policies, the TPPs are the highest level of land use planning policy.

- Settlement
- Environmental Values
- Environmental Hazards
