The Waterway and Coastal Protection Area Guidance Map has been prepared to provide guidance for local government in preparing the waterway and coastal protection area overlay for the application of the Natural Assets Code as part of the Local Provisions Schedules in the Tasmanian Planning Scheme.
The Guidance Map identifies the relevant buffer distances for the waterway and coastal protection area overlay based on the class of watercourse and the type of wetland.
The waterway and coastal protection area overlay in Local Provisions Schedules should be derived from the Guidance Map in accordance with Guideline No. 1 – Local Provisions Schedule (LPS): zone and code application: http://www.planning.tas.gov.au/news/news_items/guidance_for_drafting_lps
