Our City Plan provides the rules for how people can build or develop land in Tauranga. We regularly review these rules to ensure they’re working well and will propose plan changes when they need to be updated.
This helps us make changes to the City Plan to address emerging issues, until the full City Plan review, which takes place every 10 years.
You can read about each proposed plan change below.
Resource Management Act (RMA) reform
The Government is working on a broad reform of the resource management system, which will see the Resource Management Act 1991 replaced in the coming years with new legislation (find out more about the RMA reform). As part of the resource management reforms, specific requirements are in place that affect plan changes (find out more about Plan Stop).
