Proposed Plan Change 4 - Miscellaneous Plan Change
Proposed Plan Change 4 proposes a number of administrative changes to the Operative Hauraki District Plan.
The proposed changes are to amend definitions; correct cross references; update maps, schedules (eg Significant Natural Areas, Heritage Features, Significant Trees) and references to external documents; and to make relatively minor amendments to improve overall consistency and administration of the District Plan.
Submissions on Proposed Plan Change 4 closed at 4pm on 16 October 2020 and further submissions closed at 4pm, 16 November 2020 and further submissions on 16 November 2020.
Council resolved that items are to be treated as Operative (no submissions, or only submissions in support received). Following on from the Council resolution, the affected maps are in the process of being updated and we expect to have them completed in the first quarter of 2021.
