Pursuant to Clause 8D of Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991, Tauranga City Council hereby gives notice that it has resolved to withdraw parts of Proposed Plan Change 27 - Flooding from Intense Rainfall to the Operative Tauranga City Plan.

The part of Plan Change 27 being withdrawn relates to the proposed impervious surface rules included in Chapter 14 – Residential Zones being Rules 14B.3.7(b), 14B.3.8(b), 14B.6(a)(x) and (b)(vii), 14B.6.1.9, 14D.4.2.9(d) and 14D.4.2.14(w).

The reasons for the withdrawal of the impervious surface rule from Proposed Plan Change 27 – Flooding from Intense Rainfall are:

• Proposed Plan Change 33 – Enabling Housing Supply requires significant changes to the structure and content of Chapter 14 – Residential Zones in the City Plan, which consequentially affects the impervious surface area rules included in Proposed Plan Change 27.
• Proposed Plan Change 33 will include equivalent impervious surface area rules.
• Withdrawal of the impervious surface area rules will not affect or vary any other part of Proposed Plan Change 27.

Enquiries on this matter can be made to Janine Speedy, Team Leader: City Planning, Tauranga City Council on 07 577 7000.
