One step forward, but appeals and state approval still to go...

"TASSAL’S plans to farm salmon at Okehampton Bay on the East Coast have taken another step forward after the Glamorgan Spring Bay Council approved a planning scheme amendment.
The council voted 4-2 last night to rezone part of the foreshore reserve and area below the high water mark at Freestone Point Rd, Triabunna, from “open space” and “environmental management”, to “light industrial”.
Plans to develop a marine farming shore facility were also approved.
...
It will go to the Tasmanian Planning Commission for final approval.
Environment Tasmania’s Laura Kelly said they would dispute the council’s decision at the planning commission."
