Strategic Infrastructure Corridors (Strategic and Recreational Use) (North East Corridor from Turners Marsh to Lilydale) Notice 2020

What This Law Does

This is a Tasmanian government notice that formally designates a specific stretch of land — running from Turners Marsh to Lilydale in north-east Tasmania — as a Strategic Infrastructure Corridor.

What Does That Actually Mean?

A "Strategic Infrastructure Corridor" is an officially protected strip of land set aside for two purposes:

1. Strategic use — meaning it can be used for future infrastructure like roads, railways, pipelines, or utilities
2. Recreational use — meaning the public can use it for activities like walking, cycling, or other leisure activities in the meantime (or alongside strategic uses)

This is essentially the government "reserving" this land so it can't be built over or permanently blocked off, keeping it available for both future infrastructure needs and current community enjoyment.

Who Does This Affect?

• Local residents and recreational users near Turners Marsh and Lilydale who may gain (or have formalised access to) walking or cycling trails along the corridor
• Landowners or businesses near or adjacent to the corridor, who cannot develop into or across this protected strip
• Future infrastructure planners — this notice locks in the corridor so it remains available for long-term planning
