Why are you doing this?
The Resource Management Act requires Councils to re-evaluate their District Plan every 10 years. The commercial and industrial zone chapters have not been reviewed since 2004 and therefore are due for re-evaluation.
We’re required to do this review and plan change to align with the National Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020. The change will also align with National Planning Standards and the Regional Policy Statement.
What are the proposed changes?
The current commercial and industrial zone chapters are replaced by six new commercial and industrial zone chapters. Each of these chapters contains a set of indicative objectives, policies, and rules (called provisions). The draft proposed provisions can be found in the Supporting Information section.
These provisions have been developed to help impacted property owners understand the proposed new framework. They are only draft and are subject to change, depending on the feedback we receive.
The proposed spatial extent of the commercial and industrial zones can be viewed on our website.
