Mackenzie District Council is updating the Mackenzie District Plan to ensure the district can grow in a sustainable way, while protecting the things that make the place so special.
The Mackenzie District Plan Review began in early 2022 and is continuing to make great progress, with the first three stages largely complete.
In September last year, Council consulted with the community on a range of issues involved in Stage Four, which covers a range of topics across the district.
The District Plan Review team used the results of this phase of consultation to help shape up a range of Plan Changes based on feedback. Stage Four is now well underway, and MDC is looking to notify the below Plan Changes in November 2024, subject to Council approval.
Plan Change 28
- Historic Heritage
- Notable Trees
- Hazards and Risks
Plan Change 29
- Open Space and Recreation Zones
- Noise
- Signs
- Temporary Activities
Plan Change 30
- Special Purpose Zones
- Pukaki Village
- Pukaki Downs
- Glentanner
- Airports
Designations
Have your say
We are just about to kick off a second round of community consultation on Stage Four.
As part of this we will be carrying out a quick survey which seeks to understand what people think about the proposed plan changes.
We’ll be using the feedback we receive to help fine tune the provisions before taking them to Council for adoption and notification.
This survey will be live online at letstalk.mackenzie.govt.nz > District Plan Review - Stage Four from 8 July – 2 August.
