| The
Authority may decide that a development plan is required before
specific developments can proceed.
The legislation sets out a process for preparing development
plans. This envisages that for some sites or areas within
the planning area there may be a need for more detailed planning.
Development plans are statutory planning instruments much
like planning schemes. They are capable of identifying types
of development that are permitted, discretionary and prohibited.
The same notification and appeal rights apply as under any
planning scheme in Tasmania.
The process for preparing development plans requires that
a draft be exhibited for public comment for a two-month period.
The
Resource Planning and Development Commission (RPDC) is then
involved in assessing the development plan in light of any
representations received. The Commission can hold hearings
as part of this process. See the RPDC web site: www.rpdc.tas.gov.au
