It is anticipated that people wishing to use the Plan will do so for two reasons:
· To understand what Council is trying to achieve in terms of its resource management objectives and policies over the duration of this District Plan
· To determine the Plan’s requirements for activities they wish to develop in different Resource Areas
In determining what requirements and standards any activity you wish to undertake must meet, the following procedure should help you identify all the relevant information:
1. REFER TO THE DISTRICT PLANNING MAPS CONTAINED IN VOLUME TWO
(a) Identify your site on the District Planning Maps.
(b) Determine what particular Resource Area your activity is located within (e.g. Rural, Coastal, Urban etc).
(c) Determine from the Maps whether your site is:
· subject to any natural hazard (e.g. flood plain, fault line etc); · subject to any designations; · has any historical building, site, tree etc or any archaeological sites located upon it or adjacent to it; · has any reservation on it or adjoins any reserve land; · or is subject to any other notation on the Maps that may affect the use of that site.
Note: The Legend for the Planning Maps is contained on the last page of Volume Two Planning Maps.
2. REFER TO SECTION 3 - GENERAL PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN
(a) What provisions of this Section may affect your site. For example, 3.5 Heritage will be relevant if a heritage site or archaeological site is shown on your site; 3.9 Hazards will be relevant if the map identifies a hazard area.
(b) What provisions of this Section will affect your activity. For example, 3.3 Transportation will be relevant if your activity includes building a road; 3.11 Other Environmental Issues will generally be relevant to all activities; 3.6 Water will be relevant if your activity is to take place on the surface of the water or may impact on any waterbody.
(c) Would your activity be subject to the requirements of Section 3.8 Financial and Reserve Requirements?
(d) Does your activity comply with the provisions of Section 3?
NO You will require a resource consent and must also refer to Section 4 of the Plan.

NO Then ask the following;
(d) Does your activity comply with the Rules of the Plan (including those rules contained in Section 3) and/or is it referred to as PERMITTED ACTIVITY?
YES Do you need to satisfy Council that your site/activity complies with any stated conditions e.g. for effluent disposal on unreticulated sites? (Refer to Section 3.1.1 page 57.
