The plan would give the living quarters for police officers, which sit above the police station, a makeover.

Plans for the three-bedroom apartment include new double glazed windows, new windows and windowsills, and an ensuite fit-out.

There will be new cupboards, tiles, and surface finishes, a kitchen refresh, and a new roof.

There will also be a new security gate to the building controlled from the upstairs premises.

It's part of a suite of upgrades to police station living areas, with Bicheno, Swansea, Orford and Triabunna also getting a lift.

The state government has committed $7 million in total to the project to improve police accommodation throughout Tasmania.

Representations to the development application can be made to the council until October 16.
