The Tasmanian Heritage Register (THR) lists buildings and places of State significance, and provides adequate protection for places included on that register. At the municipal level, a Heritage Code is available in new format interim planning schemes which can be applied to heritage places, including locally significant places. At present very few locally significant heritage places have been identified by heritage studies, and few locally significant places are listed in planning schemes. It is recommended that local heritage studies be undertaken by each municipality to identify locally significant heritage places, for inclusion within the Heritage Code of municipal planning schemes. There is also a lack of recognition and protection for intangible heritage places such as significant landscapes and views. These places may, in some cases, relate to both pre and post- contact cultural heritage matters. Many locations containing ‘less tangible’ places of cultural heritage significance, such a significant landscapes, were included on the now defunct Register of the National Estate. Such landscapes are not presently either recognised or protected. The new format interim planning schemes provides the opportunity to protect significant landscapes and views by use of the Scenic Management Code. It is recommended that a landscape study be undertaken for municipalities throughout the study area. The study should review significant landscapes identified on the previous Register of the National Estate, undertake visual analysis to identify other significant landscapes and views, and make recommendations for the Scenic Management Code to be applied to manage development within those areas. sustainable tourism plan | hansen partnership | february 2015 43
