Plan Change 38 – Strategic Directions

Background

This chapter provides an outline of the key strategic and significant resource management matters for the Taupō district. This chapter includes objectives and policy to guide decision making at a strategic level.

The strategic objectives set the direction for the District Plan and help to implement the Council’s community outcomes. They are indicative of the matters which are important to the Taupō District community and reflect the intended outcomes to be achieved through the implementation of the District Plan.

The strategic directions will be particularly relevant for any future changes to the Plan and any significant resource consent applications where there is a requirement to consider District Plan policy.

This Plan Change should be read as a whole and applied across the district and all zonings unless the provisions relate to a specific zoning or part of the District. This chapter does not include rules. Relevant rules can instead be found in the chapters under the District Wide and Area Specific headings of the Plan.
