About the District Plan
The Council is required to prepare a District Plan
under the Resource Management Act 1991. This is in keeping with
Council's City Vision 'Upper Hutt City - A Great Place to Live' and the
community outcomes identified in the LTCCP (Long Term Council Community Plan 2009 - 2019)
The District Plan is the primary document that manages land use and development within Upper Hutt. It contains rules that may affect you if you are preparing a land use proposal or development.
|
The District Plan is made up of five main parts, as follows:
|
Part 1 - Introduction
Provides an explanation on how the Plan is set out and how to use it. It
also contains information on how the Plan is administered, the provisions that
apply to the processing of resource consents, the designation of land,
monitoring and review of the Plan.

Part 2 - Issues, Objectives, Policies and Methods
The Plan applied zoning areas in which the different environmental
qualities sought for the different areas within the City are defined.
This part of the plan sets out the different zones of the city and the
management framework to control the actual and potential adverse
effects of activities on the environment. Chapters 4 - 8 of the District Plan deal specifically with the
Residential, Rural, Business, Open Space and Special Activities zones. Link to Part 2

Part 3 - Rules and Standards
Specifies the rules and standards for each zone and those which are
city wide. Chapters 18 to 22 provide the rules and standards for
activities within the Residential, Rural Business, Open Space and
Special Activities zones. Chapters 23 to 34 provide the general and
city wide rules and standards. Link to Part 3

Part 4 - Appendices

streets in Upper Hutt and their status in the roading hierarchy, and provides
detailed design standards and criteria for the operation on an access rule in
Chapters 18 to 22. Link to Part 4
