Golf tourism has become an increasingly important contributor to Tasmania’s visitor economy, creating opportunities for investment, employment and environmental restoration.

Era was engaged by Mathew Goggin to facilitate development approval for the Five Mile Beach Golf Course, a new 18-hole links course on the Seven Mile Beach peninsula.

Our team prepared a comprehensive planning permit application addressing environmental values, coastal processes, transport requirements and aviation considerations. The proposal was designed to share infrastructure with the neighbouring Seven Mile Beach course while retaining public access through the reserve for recreation.

In addition to strengthening Tasmania’s tourism offering, the project provides opportunities to restore native vegetation, improve shorebird habitat and enhance walking and cycling networks.

Project Highlights

• Secured planning approval for a new 18-hole links golf course at Seven Mile Beach.

• Managed complex planning considerations including natural assets, coastal hazards and airport safeguarding requirements.

• Supported a development that combines world-class recreation opportunities with environmental restoration outcomes.
