Welcome to the Tasmanian Divisional website.
The Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) promotes excellence in planning
and is the national professional organisation representing qualified planners
in Australia. It was founded in 1951 as the Royal Australian Planning Institute

- maintain membership entry requirements and maintain professional standards by providing a program of continuing professional development
