Phase 5 – Rural, Papakainga, Hazards, & Arch​​​aeology Sites​​​

Proposed Plan Change 39 – Archaeological Sites

The Council recently commissioned Archaeology North Ltd to refine information about known archaeological sites in the district. This work is now complete and identifies some new sites. The location of some existing sites has been corrected also, and landowners and iwi were informed by letter in September 2015.

Plan Change 39 includes approximately 1000 archaeological sites in the District Plan and creates Plan provisions to protect these historic heritage items.

There are 159 archaeological sites listed in the District Plan at present. Most of them were added in 1996, along with some significant sites from earlier Plans. Most are NZ Archaeology Association (NZAA) recorded sites; 26 are also registered Historic Places Trust (HPT) sites.

Decisions

Decisions on submissions were notified on Saturday 4 June 2016. The period for lodging appeals closed on Tuesday 19 July 2016.
