New State-wide Single Dwelling Residential Code in Tasmania

What Does it Mean for Your New House or Extension?

The standards aim to simplify and streamline the assessment of development for single houses and related structures on individual lots.
The Planning Directive standards and other planning reforms should mean savings in time and costs for approval of your building project. 

The standards seek to find a balance between maximising the scope for development and offering reasonable protection of your neighbours amenity. Your building design will need to take into account the potential siting, height and bulk of surrounding buildings.

We recommend that you talk to you architect for more information. Read the Directive by The Tasmanian Planning Commission for Single Dwellings in Tasmania
