| The District Plan | |
WHAT IS THE DISTRICT PLAN?
Mainly covering land use/zoning questions, District Plans are required under the Resource Management Act 1991.
The District Plan is a legal document, with the power of law or regulation, and is binding on all persons, businesses, government bodies, organisations and groups in the District.
The district plan can be viewed on the Taranaki Regional Xplorer. To see the district plan, choose "District Plan" from the "select map type" at the top of the page. From there you can zoom and use the pan tools to find the area and property you want.
