Operative and Proposed District Plans
The District Plan review is ongoing, and currently both the Operative District Plan (ODP) and the Proposed District Plan (PDP) apply.
Decisions on the Proposed District Plan were notified on 31 January 2026, which initiated an appeals period.
The appeals period has now closed, and appeals are being worked through.
We are currently producing an appeals version of the Proposed District Plan ePlan which shows which provisions are subject to appeal and which provisions are effectively operative.
Provisions that remain under appeal will continue to have legal effect under the PDP, while the corresponding ODP provisions will also apply. As a result, both plans will continue to be considered when assessing planning matters.
You can access the Proposed District Plan ePlan here. Here's the link to ePlan and How To Use It
