Planning Permits in Tasmania — Done Properly

Under the Tasmanian Planning Scheme, most building projects — new homes, extensions, commercial works, and even some sheds — require a planning permit before construction can begin. Get it wrong and you face delays, costly redesigns, or an enforcement order.

At Modulos Design, we prepare planning permit applications every week. We know what Tasmanian councils look for, how to present your application to minimise objections, and how to respond when queries arise. We'll tell you upfront whether you need a permit, what's involved, and what timeline to expect.

We prepare all required plans, reports, and supporting documents to the standard required by your council and the Tasmanian Planning Scheme.

We lodge the application on your behalf, manage neighbour notification, and respond to any council queries to keep things moving.
