Southern Tasmania Regional Land use Strategy

What is the Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy?

The Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy (STRLUS) is a long-term plan for managing growth and change in Southern Tasmania while protecting our natural environment. Since STRLUS was first created, our region has grown and changed. New developments and the introduction of updated planning rules mean it's time to review and update the strategy. 

The twelve local councils and the Tasmanian Government are working together to update the STRLUS. Councils include:

- Brighton Council
- Central Highlands Council
- Clarence City Council
- Derwent Valley Council
- Glamorgan Spring Bay Council
- Glenorchy City Council
- Hobart City Council
- Huon Valley Council
- Kingborough Council
- Sorell Council
- Southern Midlands Council
- Tasman Council 

The Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy State of Play Report, is the first step in updating the STRLUS.  It provides key data on population trends, economic shifts, and environmental changes, while highlighting what makes the region unique.

Have your say

The STRLUS project team invites you to have your say on the future of land use in Southern Tasmania via:

- holding a community conversation

Online feedback will close at 11:59pm, Friday 6 December 2024

We acknowledge the palawa/Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional owners of lutruwita (Tasmania) and their enduring custodianship of this island.

We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present and to all Aboriginal people who live and work in Southern Tasmania today.

We honour their stories, songs, art and culture and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands.
