Macquarie Point Project of State Significance Order 2025 Amendment
On 24 April 2026 the Tasmanian Planning Commission (the Commission) approved an amendment to the Tasmanian Planning Scheme – Hobart.
This amendment is to remove inconsistencies between the Tasmanian Planning Scheme – Hobart and the State Policies and Projects (Macquarie Point Precinct) Order 2025 (the Order).
The Commission is required, under section 27A of the State Policies and Projects Act 1993, to amend a relevant planning scheme to remove any inconsistency between it and an order approving a project of State significance.
This amendment:
- Applies a new HOB-P13.0 Particular Purpose Zone - Macquarie Point Precinct to the project land specified by the Order and removes HOB-P11.0 Particular Purpose Zone - Macquarie Point from that land. The new particular purpose zone allows for the use and development approved by the Order, and retains provisions for other compatible uses and development that were previously allowed for on the site under HOB-P11.0.
- Renames HOB-P11.0 Particular Purpose Zone - Macquarie Point to HOB-P11.0 Particular Purpose Zone - 20 and 47 Hunter Street, retains that zone to 20 and 47 Hunter Street only (which are outside the project land specified by the Order), and deletes the provisions of that zone that are no longer applicable to those two parcels of land.
- Removes the heritage listing for the Red Shed from HOB-Table C6.1 Local Heritage Places.
- Makes a number of consequential minor adjustments to zoning and overlays and to the table HOB-Applied, Adopted or Incorporated Documents.
