Notification and Submissions
The notification phase of the District Plan review is when we formally propose changes to parts of the district plan and encourage the community to make a submission. Following this, we summarise all submissions received and invite further submissions to be made.
Detailed below are the relevant documents for these two interrelated phases. If you would like to view public submissions made on any of the proposed changes, please click on the quick link to the Submissions section below.

Notification of the withdrawal of the Upper Clutha Landscape Schedules Variation. This Variation has been withdrawn due minor errors in the mapping that accompanies the Variation. The Council will correct these errors and then seek feedback on the proposal to incorporate the revised maps associated with the landscape schedules and will renotify the Variation once that feedback period has closed and Council has considered the feedback received.

On August 1 2024 the Full Council resolved to withdraw the Inclusionary Housing Variation under Clause 8D of Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA), for the reasons generally expressed in the agenda report, namely that the IHP was not satisfied under section 32 of the RMA that the Variation was the most efficient and effective way of achieving its objectives, and its recommendation makes it impracticable to progress the Variation any further at this time.

Corrections

All persons interested in the Business Mixed Use Design Guide please be aware of the following:
Between 19 September 2019 and 21 October 2019 an incorrect version of the Business Mixed Use Design Guide, was notified and accessible on the website. This error was identified at 10:00AM on 16 October 2019, and corrected by 12:00PM on 21 October 2019.
This incorrect version contained an error in Section 08 WASTE AND SERVICE AREAS of Paragraph 4 (p.22) in omitting the italicised text below:
“Ensure that regular rubbish collection is facilitated to reduce the risk of odor and bins clogging the footpath on collection day. Waste and service areas should not be prominent in form but need to be accessed easily, encourage waste minimisation and should provide sufficient area for waste and recyclable materials to be collected separately. These measures will assist with implementing the QLDC Waste Minimisation Plan 2018. Encourage combined service areas for multiple uses on a site.”
The correct version is now on the website and the incorrect version has been removed. The correct version was approved by Council for notification. All Stage 3 submitters have been made aware of this correction.
All persons interested in the Wāhi Tūpuna provisions please note well the following:
For several hours on 19 September the Wāhi Tūpuna layer was only visible on the Web Mapping Application when zoomed out and was not visible if you happened to zoom in to a property with the viewer. This problem was identified at 1.30pm and resolved by 4.30pm. Please recheck the Web Mapping Application for Stage 3 if you looked for a Wāhi Tūpuna notation on the viewer on the 19th September 2019.
