What matters for landscaping & gardening in Hobart

  • Tasmania sorts building work into low risk, notifiable and permit work under the Director's Determination made under the Building Act 2016. Low risk work needs no permit, but you still have to lodge Form 80 Notice of Low Risk Work with your council once it is finished.

  • As an owner in Tasmania you can build small structures up to 18 square metres, or erect a prefabricated shed up to 36 square metres, without a building permit. Anything larger has to be built by a licensed builder, and larger sheds, garages, carports, decks, boundary walls, tanks and pools fall into notifiable work.

  • If your block sits in a bushfire, landslip, coastal inundation, coastal erosion or riverine inundation hazard area, work that would be low risk anywhere else is lifted to notifiable work and a building surveyor has to assess it. Check the hazard overlays with your council before you price a job.

  • Tasmania treats household pot plants as nursery stock, so you must lodge a Notice of Intention to Import Plants or Plant Products at least 24 hours before the load arrives, and the plants have to be in soil-free potting media. Mowers, tools and pots are allowed only if washed clean, and any treatment needed at the border is at your cost.
