Background to PDP

The council is reviewing the current District Plan. This is the set of rules that control where you can undertake certain activities, and how land can be used, developed and subdivided. The District Plan affects all landowners and residents in the Far North.

In July 2022, we proposed a new District Plan (Proposed District Plan) and asked landowners, the wider community, tangata whenua and stakeholders to provide their feedback.
