The Plan is organised into three Parts.

1.2.1 Part A

Part A consists of :

1. This introduction explaining the purpose of the Plan, how the plan is set out, linkages to other plans and authorities and the responsibility to monitor the effectiveness of the Plan;
2. The significant resource management issues facing the District including the District’s Sustainable Management Strategy; and
3. The objectives and policies which provide a description of the outcome sought and the solutions needed to resolve the significant resource management issues.

1.2.2 Part B

Part B provides the rules of the Plan which are subdivided into sections relating in general to the effects of activities on the environment.

Of particular importance is Section 2, Activity Table, which provides a guide to the use of the Plan as a whole and the Activity Table in that Section. The Activity Table itself lists all the activities anticipated in the District and the status of that activity in each of the zones in the District. To guide you in understanding the Plan, the rules are linked back to the relevant objectives and policies.

1.2.3 Part C

Part C comprises the Planning Maps for the District which identify the zone boundaries, significant natural environment and heritage areas, natural hazard areas, and designations.

The Development Concept Plans of Scheduled sites and the plans for Appendix 6  are also held in Part C of the Plan.
