Discover Skylands, Tasmania's most exciting new community development project. Featuring walkable neighbourhoods, sustainable growth plans and a reconnection to nature, join us on our journey to build a place to belong for people at any life stage.
Following community consultation, this plan was approved by Clarence Council in December 2023 for the Peninsular Structure Plan.
