Land Development and Subdivision Infrastructure Standard (Local Amendments Version 3)

Status: The Land Development and Subdivision Infrastructure Standard (Local Amendments Version 3) based on NZS4404:2010 was adopted by Council 13 August 2019.

The adopted Land Development and Subdivision Infrastructure Standard sets out the minimum standards of technical performance and quality for the subdivision and development of land and infrastructure.

This is the key technical standard that is applied when new infrastructure assets are constructed and existing infrastructure assets are upgraded. As the Council's adopted standard it is applied through the New Plymouth District Plan. This standard has been developed for use in the New Plymouth District, South Taranaki and Stratford districts as a result of a series of workshops with industry professionals.

NZS4404:2010 has been developed at a national level and first adapted at a local level in 2013 in order to best apply to our local context. The local amendments to the standard were recently updated in order to maintain industry best practise, meet technological advancements and to comply with other evolving national and international standards. 

In conjunction with NPDC’s District Plan and bylaws, the standard provides the Council, developers, and their professional advisors with standards for design and construction of land development and subdivision infrastructure such as earthworks, roads, pipework and landscaping. The overarching principle of the standard is to encourage sustainable development and modern design outcomes that emphasise liveability and environmental quality.
