Top of the Nottingham Castle Hotel, MorrinsvilleWhat Council Is Doing

Development pressures are the biggest threat to the rich heritage history in the district. Council is continuing to monitor development to ensure heritage values are maintained. Ten consent conditions have been imposed on resource consents to protect or enhance heritage resources since 2000/01. These conditions related to a variety of issues including; waiving car parking requirements, erection of signage, constructions of decks and the control of buildings appearance.

In 2009/10 the conditions imposed related to the erection of Heritage Trail signage district wide by Council and the replacement of a building within the Te Aroha Character area.
