Read more about phase two of PlanBuild Tasmania.
Phase one - Enquiry
Phase one of the PlanBuild Tasmania portal is now live for public use. The Enquiry service allows anyone to enter an address in the portal to see what planning zones and codes apply to a property. A Property Report can be generated which includes maps, details of the planning zone, codes and other information that affect the selected property.
For those properties that fall under the Tasmanian Planning Scheme, PlanBuild Tasmania provides a comprehensive Guided Enquiry service, including identifying planning, building and plumbing rules that may apply to a proposed project.
A proposed project could include changes to your residential property, such as building a deck, adding a deck or doing internal renovations.
PlanBuild Tasmania will also provide information on food businesses and operating a risk-based business, such as a tattoo parlour that requires specific licenses.
You will be able to work through a series of questions on your proposed project resulting in information on:
- who to consult (e.g. local council, Heritage Tasmania)
- who can do the work (e.g. a licensed builder)
- what to apply for (e.g. a permit).
After completing an enquiry if you have additional questions or want to request advice from a council, this can be lodged online using PlanBuild Tasmania.
