FAQs 2021

The Resource Management Act requires Councils to re-evaluate their District Plan every 10 years. The natural hazards chapter has not been reviewed since 2004 and therefore are due for re-evaluation.

A set of indicative objective, policies and rules have been developed and can be found in the Supporting Information section.

These provisions have been developed to help impacted property owners to understand the potential new framework that may be implemented. These provisions are only draft and are subject to change, depending on the feedback we receive.
