In statutory terms the role of the District Plan is defined as controlling the effects of the use, development and protection of land within the context of promoting sustainable management. Put simply, the District Plan sets the scene in terms of what people can do with their land in the city and whether or not they require Council approval.
District Plan
The District Plan is a living document that is subject to regular review and updates.
