Brighton & Pontville Local Area Plan
The Brighton & Pontville Local Area Plan is a long‑term planning framework that will guide how Brighton and Pontville grow and change over time. The Plan considers land use, housing, transport, public spaces, heritage and town centre improvement, and will inform future planning scheme changes and Council investment decisions.
Why is the Plan being prepared?
Brighton is one of the fastest‑growing municipalities in Tasmania and plays an increasingly important role as a regional service centre.
The draft Local Area Plan responds to this growth by:
- guiding growth to well‑serviced locations
- strengthening Brighton town centre
- providing greater housing choice
- protecting Pontville’s heritage and landscape character
- improving walking, cycling, transport and public spaces
The Plan builds on recent strategic work, including the Brighton Activity Centre Strategy and Open Space Strategy.
