This is an important step moving it closer towards public consultation in October—where you will have the chance to have your say on how land is used around the Coromandel. The draſt District Plan explains what Council is thinking about changes to the way land is used on the Coromandel Peninsula. It looks at the issue of balancing heritage, cultural and community expectations with economic and business development. Some of the key topics include mining, land rezoning, subdivisions, management of coastal areas, significant natural areas, and heritage preservation. Because this is only a draſt, there will be extensive community consultation and involvement before the proposed District Plan is then released next year. The draſt can easily be changed, and no doubt will be following public input. This is just the very first step, a proposal to the community, letting you know what Council is thinking about changing from the current District Plan, which hasn’t been comprehensively updated since 1998. This week the District Plan Review Committee, chaired by Deputy Mayor Peter French, met to hear a progress report from Council’s District Plan team and to sign off the draſt to go to a full Council meeting on 26 September. Our District Plan team has been talking to Community Boards and Area Managers about the proposed changes. They discussed current land use, local and blueprint plan suggestions and seeing what areas of land could be rezoned for the next 10 to 15 years. Pre-consultation meetings have also been held with key stakeholder groups. If the full Council approves the draſt District Plan, you will have the opportunity to give feedback from 18 October. Public meetings, including Marae visits to talk with Iwi, are being set up to talk through issues. Our District Plan team are also happy to hear from groups who want to arrange their own meetings.

District Plan Review Milestone The dra� District Plan is now on its way to Council for approval.
This is an important step moving it closer towards public consultation in October—where you will have the chance to have your say on how land is used around the Coromandel.
The dra� District Plan explains what Council is thinking about changes to the way land is used on the Coromandel Peninsula.
It looks at the issue of balancing heritage, cultural and community expectations with economic and business development.
Some of the key topics include mining, land rezoning, subdivisions, management of coastal areas, signi� cant natural areas, and heritage preservation.
Because this is only a dra� , there will be extensive community consultation
and involvement before the proposed District Plan is then released next year. The dra� can easily be changed, and no doubt will be following public input.
This is just the very � rst step, a proposal to the community, letting you know what Council is thinking about changing from the current District Plan, which hasn’t been comprehensively updated since 1998.
This week the District Plan Review Committee, chaired by Deputy Mayor Peter French, met to hear a progress report from Council’s District Plan team and to sign o� the dra� to go to a full Council meeting on 26 September.
Our District Plan team has been talking to Community Boards and Area Managers about the proposed changes. They discussed current land use, local and blueprint plan suggestions and seeing what areas of land could be
rezoned for the next 10 to 15 years. Pre-consultation meetings have also been held with key stakeholder groups.
If the full Council approves the dra� District Plan, you will have the opportunity to give feedback from 18 October.
Public meetings, including Marae visits to talk with Iwi, are being set up to talk through issues.
