OVERVIEW

The STCA is the management body for the Southern Tasmanian Regional Planning Project (STRPP).

This initiative is the result of an agreement between the State Government, the STCA and the 12 southern Tasmanian Councils and aims to achieve the following outcomes:

  • A comprehensive regional land use strategy for the region.
  • An infrastructure investment strategy for the region.
  • The development of coordinated, consistent and contemporary planning schemes for all councils involved, based on the common strategy.

These project outcomes will significantly influence the way the Southern region develops over the next 20 years and beyond and will greatly assist those who interact with the planning scheme in the future.
