District Plan 2004

The Mackenzie District Plan assists the Council in carrying out its functions under the Resource Management Act 1991 so that it may achieve the purpose of the Act which is to "promote the sustainable management of natural and physical resources." The Plan was developed in consultation with local communities and interest groups.

The Plan controls such activities as:

• Erection, relocation, or demolition of structures, buildings, network utilities and signs.
• Commercial activities.
• Earthworks.
• Use of hazardous substances.
• Planting, trimming or removing vegetation.
• Subdivision of land.
