BACKGROUND
On 12 August 1999, the Wairoa District Council publicly notified its Proposed District Plan and invited public submissions to it.
There were 54 submissions received raising over 1600 individual submission points. A further 24 people lodged further submissions in support or opposition to these submissions.
Hearings on the submissions ran from September through November 2000. Decisions on submissions were made by Council resolution on 14 February 2001, and approved for public notification by Council resolution on 27 March 2001. Some of these decisions were then referred to the Environment Court.
A total of 10 references were referred to the Environment Court with a total of 109 individual points of reference. All of these references have now been settled by consent orders approved by the Environment Court, or have been withdrawn.
This District Plan became operative on 25 June 2005 and incorporates all of the Council’s decisions, and all changes resulting from consent orders approved by the Environment Court, in respect of the Proposed District Plan.
