The Glenorchy Planning Authority makes decisions on land use and planning matters.
Including whether to approve development applications. Unlike some councils, planning decisions in Glenorchy are handled by the Planning Authority rather than at full Council meetings. Some straightforward applications can be decided by planning officers under delegated authority — see those decisions here.
Who sits on the Planning Authority?
- Mayor Sue Hickey (Chair)
- Deputy Mayor Russell Yaxley
- Alderman Steven King
- Alderman Josh Cockshutt
- Alderman Tim Marks
