The current Scheme for Kingborough is the Kingborough Interim Planning Scheme 2015.
Planning schemes are statutory documents implementing the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 (LUPAA). Each municipality in Tasmania has their own scheme. Planning Schemes provide the rules that define whether a Planning Permit is required for certain buildings and works, change of land use, vegetation removal of subdivision. The Scheme includes the assessment criteria for decision making when a Planning Permit is required. The assessment criteria varies depending on the zoning of land and any applicable code overlays that may affect a property; those zones and overlays are defined in endorsed maps. Both, the Scheme and the maps, have been approved by the State Government.

NOTE: Kingborough is in the process of moving to a new Planning Scheme, known as the Tasmanian Planning Scheme. To understand more about that, please refer to Incoming Tasmanian Planning Scheme.
