Planning

Planning is responsible for preparing Council's environmental plans and strategies. These documents ensure that Council looks after the natural and built environment and assists in achieving the outcomes established with the Long Term Plan and the statutory requirements set out in the Resource Management Act 1991.

District Plan
District Plans, which are a legal requirement under the Resource Management Act, place controls on land use and subdivisions. They specify particular environmental outcomes that Council should aim for.

Land Development
The Council's Land Development Team provides a single point of contact on behalf of the Infrastructure Department in order to facilitate seamless development, engineering services and outcomes.

Resource Consent Planning
The Manawatu District Council's planning team ensures that development of the natural and built environment is undertaken in a sustainable manner by managing compliance with the Manawatu District Plan.
