Frequently Asked Questions
Reviewing a District Plan is a long and complex process. Here are answers to some of your questions. We will update this as new questions arise.
-
Mana Whenua
The Plan doesn't classify the entire District as an SASM. This chapter doesn't have any rules, but provides context and guidance, while reflecting mana whenua values.
-
Natural Character, Natural Features and Landscapes
This chapter is about balance - protecting landscapes and waterways while allowing land to be used sensibly and enabling development where appropriate.
-
Natural Hazards
The Natural Hazards chapter is about reducing risk, focusing on protecting people and property - not stopping all activity.
-
