The Council's Infrastructure Team has updated the Engineering Code for Land Development and Subdivision Engineering 2012 to refer directly to the most recent New Zealand Standard 4404:2010 Subdivision and Land Development. This Plan change updates Appendix I to the District Plan with the revised Engineering Code and makes any consequential changes to related Plan provisions. The revised Code is simplified as the Council's approach is largely consistent with the NZ Standard approach. The engineering requirements themselves are essentially unchanged as a result of this work. There is a greater focus on outcomes rather than prescription of specific design solutions.
Decisions on submissions were notified on Saturday 11 February 2017 and effective immediately.

A technical report will be commissioned and completed in 2017. This will be preceded by a high level review of the boundaries of areas investigated to date, to confirm whether, as a result of work completed, any additional areas should also be investigated perhaps as part of this final stage. Engagement with owners of land included in these study areas will be advised by letter prior to the start of any research.
