Every sitting week for the next four weeks of Parliament — 3, 17, 24 March and 14 April 2026— PMAT and friends will be popping up outside Parliament House from 1–1.30pm because the Government is not listening and the Development Assessment Panels (DAP) Bill must be defeated once and for all.
If this Bill passes it will be a catastrophic watershed moment for Tasmania, shifting planning power away from elected councils and into the hands of property developers, silencing community voices and cementing in an undemocratic system fast-tracking developments on Public and Private land including our World Heritage Areas, National Parks and Reserves.
Join us in costume (gremlins, zombies whatever takes your fancy) with a Doof Stick to attract your friends and make it impossible for MPs to ignore that Tasmanians do not want this DAPs Bill!
A Doof Stick is a placard on a lightweight/thin stick, such as a broom handle, decorated around it with tinsel, streamers, gum nuts, fairy lights etc.
Doof Stick placards/toppers could include:
PMAT’s DAP Gremlin*
A photo/toy of your favourite native plant/animal under threat from inappropriate development
A map of a wilderness area that’s at risk
Photos of developments you are most worried about like high-rise buildings in Hobart* and Launceston city and suburbs and developments in our World Heritage Areas, National Parks and Reserves like kunanyi/Mt Wellington cable car*, Gondolas in Cataract Gorge or the 400-space carpark at Freycinet*.
