The Tasmanian government's rewrite of its climate law will mandate sectoral transition plans, while a new waste report says the state will ban problem plastics in 2025.
The Tasmanian government will review assessment requirements for large-scale clean energy projects, and might consider holding renewable energy reverse auctions, it revealed today.
