Context 2.1 Spatial Context Dunalley is located in South East Tasmania, at the southern edge of the Sorell municipal area, within a 50 minute drive of central Hobart. Located in a picturesque coastal setting with a backdrop of forested hills and farmland, it is the gateway to the Forestier and Tasman Peninsulas and is located at the approximate half way point between Hobart and the main shack settlements and tourism destinations within the Tasman area. Dunalley is the largest rural based town within the Sorell municipality and supports the small residential areas of Boomer Bay and Connellys Marsh, surrounding rural land and marine based activity in Blackman Bay. It also provides services to a broader catchment including Murdunna and other parts of the neighbouring Tasman municipality. Historically, Dunalley was a fishing village with the canal joining Blackman Bay and Norfolk Bay, allowing for a much shorter travelling distance between the East and West Coasts, removing the necessity to circumnavigate the Tasman Peninsula. The canal which is one of Dunalley’s most distinguishable features also separates the town, separating the Dunalley Hotel from the rest of the town. Map 1: Spatial Contest of Dunalley within the region. 2 Dunalley and Environs Structure Plan 2.2 Planning Context As a strategic land use planning document prepared by Council as a Planning Authority, the structure plan has been prepared within the context of the Resource Management and Planning System of Tasmania (RMPS) as illustrated adjacent. In particular, any policies within the structure plan must: further the objectives of the RMPS; be consistent with relevant State Policies; and be consistent with the objectives and desired outcomes of the Southern Tasmania Regional Land Use Strategy (2010-2035). 2.2.1 The Objectives of the RMPS The objectives of the resource management and planning system of Tasmania are as follows: a) to promote the sustainable development of natural and physical resources and the maintenance of ecological processes and genetic diversity; and b) to provide for the fair, orderly and sustainable use and development of air, land and water; and c) to encourage public involvement in resource management and planning; and d) to facilitate economic development in accordance with the objectives set out in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c); and e) to promote the sharing of responsibility for resource management and planning between different spheres of Government, the community and industry in the 3 Dunalley and Environs Structure Plan State. In addition to a range of regional planning policies which have been considered in the preparation of the structure plan, the following specific policies are highlighted: 2.2.2 State Policies Dunalley is identified as a ‘Township’ within the region. A township is defined as There are three (3) current State Policies existing within the Planning System: a residential settlement which should have a prominent town centre providing a The State Coastal Policy 1996; number of facilities, some local employment opportunities and convenience shopping.

Of particular relevance to the preparation of this structure plan, are the State The most appropriate lower level activity centre relevant to Dunalley, that is Coastal Policy 1996 and the State Policy on the Protection of Agricultural Land provided for within the Regional Land Use Strategy is a ‘minor or 2009. neighbourhood centre.’ The role of this activity centre as defined under the Regional Land Use Strategy is to serve the daily needs of surrounding In addition, the National Environment Protection Measures (NEPMs) have been community and provide a focus for day to day life within a community. adopted as State Policies and outline common objectives to protect or manage aspects of the environment relating to a number of matters including air quality, The specific residential growth strategy for Dunalley is low (growth less than a water quality, noise, site contamination and hazardous waste.

  • Southern Tasmanian Coastal Saltmarsh Futures a Preliminary Strategic Assessment
    Southern Tasmanian Coastal Saltmarsh Futures A Preliminary Strategic Assessment Vishnu Prahalad and Jill Pearson March 2013 Executive summary Southern Tasmanian coastal saltmarshes form a crucial ‘link’ between terrestrial and marine systems, providing critical ecological functions that support a range of ecosystem services and biodiversity values. Close to a half of these important coastal ecosystems have already been lost or degraded due to land use change and impacts, sporadic and variable management approaches and lack of broad awareness of the important values provided by these habitats. In addition, future climate change and sea level rise projections leave these ecosystems in a precarious position given that they occupy shores within 1 m of high water. This raises the question: is there a future for coastal saltmarshes in southern Tasmania? The Southern Tasmanian Coastal Saltmarsh Futures project has completed an inventory and mapping of the current extent of coastal saltmarshes throughout the southern region of Tasmania, as well as ‘future footprint’ mapping under sea level rise conditions out to 2100, to further assess this question. The inventory database, which sits alongside the mapping of current extent, brings together a range of environmental and management related information that has either been collected in previous projects or is presented here for the first time. This report provides: an introduction to coastal saltmarshes in southern Tasmania an outline of the mapping methods used summary results from the inventory and mapping components a brief discussion on ecosystem based management as a possible way forward for improved management of coastal saltmarshes into the future. Mapping of the future footprint of coastal saltmarshes in southern Tasmanian shows that for the areas where modelling data is available, approximately 75% of coastal saltmarshes have either ‘some’ or ‘sufficient’ room to move.

A number of bushfires active that day were unable to be controlled for some days and destroyed significant amounts of public and private property. Fortunately there was no loss of life or serious injury as a direct consequence of these fires. Tasmania is a State subject to very high fire risk and has previously experienced extensive and catastrophic bushfires, most notably on 7 February 1967, when what are now known as the Black Tuesday bushfires, left 62 people dead, 900 injured and over seven thousand homeless.
