Manawatu District Plan Review |
 |
The District Plan is a significant legal document which affects the day-to-day lives of everybody who lives and works in the district. It is essentially the day-to-day rule book and game plan for our District.
Under the RMA, we have to review each provision of the District Plan every ten years. Much of our current District Plan has not changed since it came into force on 1 December 2002.
