We are reviewing and updating our current District Plan – looking ahead to the next 10 to 15 years. The Kaipara District Plan is the ‘rule book’, which is applied to manage development, activities and the environment within the district. Its purpose is to protect our environment, historical heritage and cultural tāonga for future generations, through sustainable resource management, while supporting our communities to live and grow.
The District Plan influences the future shape and feel of our District, which is why it’s important for Kaipara communities to be informed and get involved.
Every Council is required to have a District Plan and update it every ten years. The new District Plan is likely to stay in place until the Government has replaced the Resource Management Act.
The Exposure Draft Kaipara District Plan, which had no legal status, has now been removed from our website, as final preparations are underway for the release of the Proposed District Plan in the coming months. More information will be provided as soon as we are able to.
