State Policies and Projects (Project of State Significance) Revocation Order 1999

State Policies and Projects (Project of State Significance) Revocation Order 1999

This is a Tasmanian government instrument that cancels (revokes) a previous declaration that a specific project had been classified as a 'Project of State Significance' under Tasmania's State Policies and Projects Act.

What does that mean in plain English?

• In Tasmania, major developments (like large mines, infrastructure, or industrial projects) can be declared 'Projects of State Significance,' which triggers a special fast-track assessment and approval process overseen by the state government.
• This Order simply undoes one of those declarations — meaning whatever project was previously given that special status no longer has it.
• The project would then revert to normal planning and development approval processes.

Who does this affect?

• Primarily the project proponent (the company or entity trying to develop the project).
• Potentially affected local communities, landowners, or environmental groups who may have had interests in how the project was assessed.

Why does it matter?

• Removing 'Project of State Significance' status can significantly change how (and how quickly) a project gets assessed and approved.
