A new subdivision planned for Kings Meadows will deliver around 104 new residential lots.
The Launceston City Council approved the development application for the subdivision in February 2026 and land lots are expected to be ready for sale in 2027
Homes Tasmania is committed to increasing social and affordable housing and releasing land for residential development.
About 85 per cent of lots of land in new subdivisions are initially made available for affordable home purchase under the MyHome shared equity program.
MyHome helps eligible Tasmanians buy their own homes by reducing the upfront costs and the ongoing mortgage repayments.
Location
The planned subdivision is the 10.46 ha site at Lot 3 Techno Park Drive, Kings Meadows.

Consultation
The site was rezoned for residential development in August 2024 under a Housing Land Supply Order after extensive community consultation by the State Planning Office.
Homes Tasmania held further consultation during November 2024, including two community sessions on 5 and 6 November 2024.
Written feedback on the preliminary subdivision plan via an online form closed on Friday, 29 November 2024.
We appreciate the community feedback provided during the extensive consultation process, which helped inform the development application to the Launceston City Council.
