Access to the Operative District Plan
March 24, 2017
As you know the Coastal Hazards Chapter was removed from the Christchurch Proposed Replacement District plan but will be revisited this year for inclusion.
The MFE are due to issue a new report suggesting guidelines for Coastal Management and climate change to support councils.
There is still much work for CCRU to do. Our aim is:
To ensure a sensible, fair and transparent approach is taken but all stakeholders
That there is consideration given to adaptation and various approaches can be discussed and evaluated.
That communities are part of the conversation and decision making process and that there is some consistency New Zealand wide as to how councils respond.
We will keep you informed as new information comes to hand.
The plan is now operative
