We are excited to share with you that the Droughty Peninsula Structure Plan (Structure Plan) has reached a significant milestone. This project provides a unique opportunity to work with private landowners and the community to create an urban development truly unique to Tasmania. This project will enable us to facilitate and encourage developments that offer future residents’ greater choice in housing, transport, and recreation - building communities, not just neighbourhoods.

Community consultation is now open to help shape the draft Structure Plan. We are seeking input on issues like open space, community infrastructure and services, how people will move about and access the Peninsula, and what approach should be taken in the staged development.

To inform the community on the issues the Structure Plan will seek to address, and to help to provide greater context to the survey questions, a background paper has been prepared. The paper provides an update on what we’ve learnt from landowners and infrastructure service provider interviews, and from the more detailed site considerations we’ve undertaken so far. Also included in the report is information on community feedback from previous work.
