Greater Launceston Plan (2014)

The Greater Launceston Plan is a major strategic project to develop a unified and holistic approach to coordinate the long term planning and management of Launceston and its surrounding municipalities including West Tamar, George Town, Meander Valley and Northern Midlands.   It is a community vision and evidence-based framework for the sustainable development of the area over the next 20 years and beyond.

The GLP encompasses several key components:

• a vision and strategic pathway for the preferred future of greater Launceston;
• a policy framework to achieve the vision;
• metropolitan structure principles which set out the logic and rationale for the physical structuring, planning and development of the greater Launceston area;
• a strategic framework plan which provides an overarching physical framework to guide the sustainable development of the greater urban area over the next 20 years and beyond;
• an implementation framework to provide guidance on the staging, monitoring and progressive implementation of the GLP;
• an important part of the implementation framework is the identification of key city projects.  These are planning, development and investment initiatives identified to be of regional and state significance.  The key city projects are being developed to support the timely implementation of the GLP and to facilitate new major sources of sustainable investment for the city and region.
