<p>This submission is a response from UTAS Law School staff on the <em>Validation (State Coastal Policy) Bill </em>2024 (‘Bill’). This Bill seeks to retrospectively suspend parts of the <em>Tasmanian State Coastal Policy</em> <em>1996</em> (‘State Coastal Policy’) in relation to an application to build 100 wind turbines on Robbins Island, in Bass Strait, off the north-west coast of Tasmania (‘Robbins Island proposal’). </p>
