The operative Manawatu District Plans states the following:

Motor home camp ground Do’s and Don’ts :

Definition :  MOTOR CARAVAN SITES: means the parking of up to two self-contained motor caravans /campervans/caravans for a period of up to two days.

1. motor caravan sites, provided the site in not located within the air noise area.

Prohibited Activity (activity cannot be established, Council cannot issue a resource consent for the activity):

1. motor caravan sites within the air noise area.

Other guidance

1. The advice above assumes the property would be located within the “Rural Zone” only. If the property is NOT located within the Rural zone, the enquirer should contact the planning team at planning@mdc.govt.nz as different rules may apply for different zones.

2. If the activity does not meet the definition above (i.e. 2 caravans for max two days), a resource consent would be required as a “non-complying” activity.

3. Development contributions may be payable for any activity which requires a resource consent.
