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.
Submissions are now open on the Proposed District Plan until Monday 30 June 2025. This is the formal part of the Resource Management Act statutory consultation process. This part of the process gives the community an opportunity to be part of the process and influence the final content of the District Plan.
