A planning scheme regulates the way land can be used or developed.
A planning scheme has two parts:
- text that sets out the requirements or standards for use and development, and
- maps that show zones and overlays indicating where requirements or standards apply.
The Tasmanian Planning Scheme Zoning data comprises the zoning maps for those parts of the State where the Tasmanian Planning Scheme is in effect. The data is linked to the planning scheme text published online.
The electronic planning map, together with the electronic planning instrument, is the authorised version of the Tasmanian Planning Scheme under section 80M of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993.
