Release of the 2024 State of Environment Report

The 2024 State of the Environment Report (the Report) produced under the State Policies and Projects Act 1993 has been tabled in Parliament and is now publicly available.


The Report, produced by the independent Tasmanian Planning Commission, documents selected environmental data, trends, and progress across Tasmania.


Minister for Housing and Planning, Felix Ellis, said the Tasmanian Government’s 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future gets the balance right in terms of growing jobs and the economy as well as protecting our environment.


“The State of the Environment Report is a reporting requirement under the State Policies and Projects Act 1993, and I thank the Commission and the many individuals who have helped produce the Report,” Minister Ellis said.


“Our environment is the envy of many across the globe, and we remain committed to managing our natural assets in a sound and sensible way – including by leveraging this natural and sustainable resource for the benefit of Tasmanians.


“We are committed to sustainable management of our environment while also continuing to pursue economic development opportunities, ensuring Tasmania remains the best place to live, work and raise a family.


“Our Government is currently reviewing the Report, its detailed findings and recommendations.”
