Swift action on Stony Rise

The Tasmanian Government’s legislation to secure the delivery of the Stony Rise development has passed the House of Assembly.

This legislation will allow the $40 million retail precinct to be developed in Devonport, delivering improved amenities and living for residents in Stony Rise.

Minister for Housing, Planning and Consumer Affairs, Felix Ellis, said this was a victory for common sense.

“Today was an important win not just for the Devonport community – but Tasmania as a whole,” Minister Ellis said.

“It is a signal to the business community that this Liberal Government is in your corner.

“This legislation will enable a much-needed development which now has the opportunity to become a cornerstone of the North West community.

“Our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future is ambitious, and today’s outcome harnesses that momentum."
