Strategic Infrastructure Corridors (Strategic and Recreational Use) (South Corridor from Elwick Road to Mentmore Street) Notice 2021

What is this law?

This is a Tasmanian government notice that officially designates a specific strip of land — running from Elwick Road to Mentmore Street in southern Tasmania — as a Strategic Infrastructure Corridor.

What does that mean in plain English?

A Strategic Infrastructure Corridor is a reserved strip of land that the government sets aside for two purposes:

1. Strategic use — future infrastructure like roads, rail, utilities, or other public works that may be needed down the track
2. Recreational use — in the meantime, the land can be used by the public for activities like walking or cycling paths

This notice essentially "locks in" this corridor so it can't be built over or developed in ways that would block future infrastructure plans.

Who does this affect?

• Property owners and developers near or along this corridor — their development options may be restricted
• Local residents who may gain access to recreational facilities along the corridor
• Government and utilities who may eventually use the corridor for infrastructure projects
• Businesses considering investment in the area who need to know about land use restrictions
