Where can I lodge?

PlanBuild Tasmania is being rolled out in stages across the State.

Organisations currently accepting applications via PlanBuild Tasmania:

What about other organisations?

The PlanBuild Tasmania portal is being rolled out iteratively.

As an organisation adopts PlanBuild Tasmania, you will be able to lodge applications directly to organisations in that municipality.

Existing processes will remain for all councils and other organisations, until they adopt PlanBuild Tasmania for the lodgement of applications.

PlanBuild Tasmania will be continually engaging with these organisations as part of the long term development of the portal.

What is PlanBuild Tasmania?

PlanBuild Tasmania provides a centralised solution that brings Councils, industry professionals and property owners together in managing the end-to-end development application process efficiently and effectively.

It will facilitate the approval process for planning, building, plumbing, and related environmental and public health applications.

The portal provides a convenient central point of enquiry for relevant planning, building and plumbing information to support any development project.

Applicants can track the status of their applications and submit and receive information, all in one location.
