District Plan

There is currently a proposal to alter the District Plan. Click here to view the proposal.

As far as I can tell the subdivisions will have to be of a minimum 3 hectares and will require 80% re-vegetation and follow a multitude of other rules. Please do go over it and find out any hidden nastinesses! Submissions are to be in by early December - 11th?

I am in the middle of updating the blog. It should have a few more features.
