Housing Land Supply (Romaine) Order 2022 (TAS)

The Housing Land Supply (Romaine) Order 2022 (TAS) was issued by the Minister for Planning in accordance with the Housing Land Supply Act 2018. This order concerns the declaration of a specific area of land in Romaine, Tasmania, as housing supply land. The land in question is situated at Roslyn Avenue, Romaine, and is identified by property identification number 7695853 in the Land Information System Tasmania. The order aims to designate this land for housing supply purposes and declare the intended zoning as the General Residential Zone under the applicable planning scheme.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the Minister for Planning had the authority to declare the specified land as housing supply land under the provisions of the Housing Land Supply Act 2018. The court had to determine if the Minister's declaration was within the legislative framework and if the declaration of the intended zone complied with the statutory requirements. Additionally, the court examined if the order was properly made and whether it adhered to the procedural requirements set forth in the Act.

In its reasoning, the court found that the Minister for Planning had the requisite authority under the Act to declare the specified land as housing supply land. The court held that the Minister's actions were consistent with the legislative provisions and that the declaration of the General Residential Zone was appropriate. The court further confirmed that the order was validly made and followed the necessary procedural steps, thereby upholding the Minister's decision.

The court's decision was to uphold the Housing Land Supply (Romaine) Order 2022. The area of land at Roslyn Avenue, Romaine, was declared housing supply land, and the intended zone was set as the General Residential Zone. This decision affirmed the Minister's authority and the procedural integrity of the order.
