Objectives, policies and rules

All links on this page are to Acrobat Portable Document Files (PDF).  The links under the heading Proposed District Plan are to the version of the plan that was publically notified in 2001.  It incorporates all decisions on variations that are now beyond appeal.

The Proposed District Plan is currently subject to a number of variations. To assist in the interpretation of the Plan, below on the right are track-changed versions of those parts of the Plan that are affected by the variations. It is important to note that these variations are still moving through their statutory process and do not represent the final outcome. For further information on where each variation is in the process click here. For guidance on interpreting the Plan, please contact the Planning Guidance Unit on (07) 838 6800 and ask to speak to a planner.
