Following consultation with the Project Sponsors, decision-making principles to guide the development of the Regional Land Use Framework and its associated settlement strategy have been developed.
These decision-making principles do not constitute ‘regional planning strategies’, rather they are intended to provide a summation of the approach to development the framework and settlement strategy and represent ‘good planning practice’.
They do not cover the full range of issues that the framework will utlimately address.

Overview and Rationale:
The Southern Tasmanian Councils Authority is the management body for the Southern Tasmanian Regional Planning Project (STRPP), which commences in late February 2009.
This initiative is the result of an agreement between the State Government, the Southern Tasmanian Councils Authority, (the STCA), and the 12 southern Tasmanian Councils and aims to achieve the following outcomes:
- A comprehensive regional land use strategy for the region.
