View Proposed District Plan Submissions
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 taonga 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.
