Appeals Version - District Plan

This version of the District Plan contains the objectives, policies and rules that have legal effect and can now be ‘treated as operative’. These provisions have been through the Environment Court appeals process and will be used to assess any resource consent applications.

Any provisions that are highlighted in yellow are still subject to an appeal and are not yet ‘treated as operative’.

The Appeals Version of the District Plan needs to be considered when you are looking at what you can do on your property. 

Chapters within this version of the District Plan will also be updated to reflect formatting, chapter name and map colouring standards, as required by the National Planning Standards.

These changes do not result in the removal of provisions or the amendment of rules. To date, the following sections of the Plan have been updated.
