Tasmanians want a sound, visionary Planning system

The Tasmanian Planning Information Network (TasPIN) vision is for a statewide Planning system delivering the best possible sustainable future for Tasmania's social, economic and environmental well-being.
Our mission:
TasPIN is focusing on acceptable solutions and best practice planning to ensure liveable, healthy and connected communities.
TasPIN is calling for:
- Sound, integrated, outcomes-focused strategic planning to guide the best possible sustainable future for Tasmania
