Tasman Council precinct plans for Nubeena, Murdunna near deadline

Comments on Tasman Council’s final draft precinct plan for Nubeena close on Friday 6 November 2026, and the companion plan for Murdunna stays open until 18 November. Both drafts are on public exhibition ahead of formal adoption, so neither is yet in force. For builders and developers on the Tasman Peninsula, these are the last formal windows to shape the rules that will guide land use in both towns.

Why it matters

Each plan is the council’s long-range guide to how its town grows: what land is used for, and where infrastructure, open space and community facilities go. Council says both drafts reflect community feedback from earlier rounds of engagement, and both were endorsed by council for exhibition. The exhibition pages do not set out specific zoning changes, growth boundaries or dwelling numbers, so anyone weighing a project in either town will need to read the plans themselves.

The numbers

The Nubeena exhibition opened on 18 September 2026 and the Murdunna exhibition on 30 September 2026. That gives each plan the same seven-week window, with the two deadlines 12 days apart. Council is urging residents, ratepayers, businesses and other stakeholders with an interest in either town to read the plans and respond. Each exhibition page links to the full draft document. Both drafts can be read online, or in person at the Tasman Council office at 1713 Main Road, Nubeena, during business hours. Submissions go to council by email or in writing to that same address, and council warns that late submissions may not be considered. Questions about either plan go to council officer Belinda Nutting on (03) 6250 9200.

What’s next

Council describes exhibition as the community’s chance to review each final draft before it is formally adopted. Once each window closes, council says it will review every submission, then collate a summary of feedback and any recommended changes into the plan put up for final adoption. Until that vote, both plans remain proposals rather than decisions, and neither sets new rules for applications in Nubeena or Murdunna. The plans land as the state lines up a much larger build programme: The Australian Developer reported on 31 October on the government-funded infrastructure pipeline across Tasmania.
