Certain rules in the Proposed Wairarapa Combined District Plan have immediate legal effect. This means these rules apply now and may result in resource consent being required for some activities that were not otherwise required under the Operative Wairarapa Combined District Plan.
If a resource consent is required under the Operative and/or the Proposed District Plan, Council must determine how much weight to give the provisions of each plan, with more or less weight given depending on how far the rules in the Proposed District Plan are through the plan making process.
Submissions can still be made on rules having immediate legal effect and hearings will follow if requested. These rules will remain having legal effect until decisions on submissions are made through the consultation process and any changes to these rules are made operative.
Any chapter that contains rules that have immediate legal effect has a note (as shown below) at the top of the chapter.
The following chapters contains rules that have immediate legal effect upon the notification of the Proposed District Plan (11 October 2023).
