Planning and Building Portal project

The Hodgman Liberal Government is committed to making it easier and faster for Tasmanians to build by reducing red tape and streamlining building processes.

The Planning and Building Portal project is an initiative to further streamline development in Tasmania and tenders are now being called for the delivery of this important integrated online system.

The online portal will make it easier for Tasmanians to access information about their properties and to apply for planning and building permits.

The portal will deliver a single statewide system that integrates all planning, building and related approvals, and will incorporate features such as:

  • online access to information and regulatory requirements;
  • online application lodgement, which will allow owners and agents to lodge planning applications and associated documents; and
  • an application tracking service, which will allow applicants to view and track applications from lodgement to determination.

Delivery of this significant project is an important part of the Hodgman Liberal Government’s planning and building reform agenda, and will result in considerable savings in both time and resources for anyone involved in the building and construction industry in Tasmania.

The Australian and State Governments have committed over $9 million to the project, which is due for completion by 2021.

The tender process closes on 29 May 2019, and all enquiries should be directed to the Planning and Building Portal Project Manager, Robert Calandra on (03) 6166 4650 or email: robert.calandra@justice.tas.gov.au
