District Plan Text - Hauraki Section
Hauraki Section of the District Plan
The Hauraki Section became operative on 26 September 2014 and is the result of a review process that included extensive consultation with ratepayers and other interested parties. It addresses issues such as:
- effects of land use
- natural hazards
- subdivision
- noise
- surface of water activities
- indigenous biodiversity.
The District Plan provides rules for how landowners and occupiers can build on or develop their land. Depending on which zone(s) your land is located in will determine what activities and development you can do on your property as of right, and those for which you would first need a resource consent. District Plan rules cover matters such as residential, industrial and commercial development, subdivision, noise and the location and height of buildings.
The Plan sits within a wider resource management framework, where regulations, plans and planning documents have been created at the national, regional and district levels.
