THE proponents of the Cambria Green project near Swansea will head to the Supreme Court today in a bid to have the Tasmanian Planning Commission assess their project.
The civil case is due for mention in the Supreme Court in Launceston today.
The Tasmanian Planning Commission said in November it could not consider a planning scheme amendment for the Cambria Green project at Dolphin Sands, near Swansea, because it was not satisfied landowners had given consent.
The commission must sign off on changes to the Glamorgan Spring Bay interim planning scheme before Cambria Green Agriculture & Tourism can build its proposed $140 million mega-development, composed of a luxury hotel, 200 villas, a golf course, international conference centre/wedding venue and retirement and health facilities, including a crematorium.
The plan was approved by the Glamorgan Spring Bay Council early last year.
The project has faced intense backlash from some in the community.
