Anything not named below is treated as “Prohibited”. That is not the same as being on the list.
Your council can vary this table in their own Local Provisions Schedule — we don’t hold that local version.
This table groups uses into broad categories rather than listing individual businesses — a specific proposal has to be matched to the right category first.
Kingborough is not on this table at all — it is still on its own 2015 interim planning scheme, so we cannot show a permitted-use list for land there.

Frequently asked questions
Does this Future Urban Zone table apply to my property in Tasmania?
It is the state standard for this zone. Your council can vary it in their scheme, and those local changes are not on this page. Search your address, then confirm with the council.
Can I assume my project is one of the terms listed for Future Urban Zone?
No. The list uses the planning scheme’s official names. Whether your project counts as one of those names is a judgement call — that’s what a planner is for.
If a use is not listed in Future Urban Zone, is it prohibited in Tasmania?
Not by itself. Unlisted uses follow this zone’s fallback (“Prohibited”). That is different from being named on the list.
