A planning scheme regulates the way land can be used or developed. A planning scheme has two parts: text that sets out the requirements or standards for use and development, and maps that show zones and overlays indicating where requirements or standards apply. The Tasmanian Planning Scheme overlays data comprises the overlays maps for those parts of the State where the Tasmanian Planning Scheme is in effect. The data is linked to the planning scheme text published online. The electronic planning map in, together with the electronic planning instrument, is the authorised version of the Tasmanian Planning Scheme under section 80M of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993.

Planning schemes regulate new use and development of land. They have two parts; - a document that sets out the requirements or standards for use and development, and - maps indicating where the requirements or standards apply. The Tasmanian Interim Planning Scheme Zone Boundaries dataset is an online mapping resource incorporating all zones boundary mapping within the state where interim schemes remain in effect. The boundaries of the majority of planning scheme zones are aligned with land parcel boundaries or road centrelines. Where they deviate, boundaries are represented by polylines attributed with a description of the features that define their location.

An amendment to the Region Planning Scheme changes the zoning or reservation of land to allow for a different land use. The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is responsible for keeping the Region Planning Schemes under review and initiating changes where they are seen to be necessary. An amendment to the Region Planning Scheme changes the zoning or reservation of land to allow for a different land use. The amendment process is regulated by the Planning and Development Act 2005. An amendment is advertised inviting submissions before a final decision on a proposal is made. A submission is a chance for people to express their opinion and provide information. The number of submissions received for or against a proposal will not determine the result, rather it is the reasoned argument of why a particular thing should or should not be done. Submissions assist the WAPC in reviewing planning proposals before proceeding. Advertised proposals are often modified in response to the public submission process.

The Greater Hobart Urban Growth Boundary forms part of the declared Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy (STRLUS). This map layer shows the Urban Growth Boundary in Map 10 of the STRLUS. The STRLUS was originally declared by the then Minister for Planning on 27 October 2011 under section 5A(3) of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993, along with the regional land use strategies for the other two regions in Tasmania. The latest declared version of the STRLUS can be viewed at: https://www.planningreform.tas.gov.au/the-strategies

The Tasmanian Reserve Estate dataset is a digital map of the Reserve System for Tasmania. It represents land reserved to be managed for biodiversity conservation under Tasmania's Regional Forest Agreement (RFA) and other instruments. The layer combines data from several sources: LIST Public Land Classification [ANZTA0005000047] Wellington Park LIST Private Reserves [ANZTA0005000004] Protection Zones from Sustainable Timber Tasmania's 1:25 000 Management Decision Classification (MDC) series Land purchased by Private Land Conservation Program (PLCP) for conservation of CAR values not yet proclaimed Indigenous Protected Areas Informal Reserves on public land identified during the Regional Forestry Agreement (RFA) Other private reserves that have been set aside under independently certified forest management systems Future Potential Production Forest Stewardship Agreements Roadside Conservation Sites More information available in Business Rules at https://nre.tas.gov.au/conservation/development-planning-conservation-assessment/planning-tools/tasmanian-reserve-estate-spatial-layer
