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:
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.
Early consultation, informed by the State of Play findings, began in September 2024 and concluded in December 2024. The Phase 1 consultation report highlights the feedback gathered during this time and will be considered in drafting STRLUS 2050.
Draft STRLUS 2050 will be placed on public exhibition late-2025. Register for updates below.
