The Infrastructure Development Code (IDC) is the document that outlines Tauranga City Council’s required standards for how infrastructure and land should be developed. The IDC is operative from 1 July 2011 and replaces the Code of Practice.

Where the City Plan describes what kind of building or development is able to occur in any given area, the IDC describes the standards to which that building or development should be constructed. It covers things like the steepest gradient you are allowed to build on and the sort of materials and methods to use when installing stormwater pipes.
