District Plan

The District Plan has been operative since 1 December 2002. District Plans, which are a legal requirement under the Resource Management Act 1991, place controls on land use and subdivisions. They specify environmental outcomes that Council should aim for.

A district plan contains Objectives, Policies, and Rules which direct Plan-users to these environmental outcomes. Planning maps are also available to show how land is zoned differently across the Manawatū District.
