District Plan review

The review of our District Plan started when we produced the Blueprint in 2015 and was completed when we notified the Proposed District Plan in September 2019.

The review of our District Plan was completed when we notified the Proposed District Plan in September 2019.  This was followed by a formal consultation period where submissions were made, submitters were heard at a hearing, decisions on submissions were released and appeals on those decisions were lodged with the Environment Court.
