National Planning Standards version of the Taupō District Plan
In 2020 the Government introduced the National Planning Standards (the Standards). The Standards are a series of templates which place mandatory requirements for how district and regional plans are set up and formatted.
The purpose of the Standards is to make council plans and policy statements easier to prepare, understand and comply with. They aim to do this by improving the consistency of the format and content.
To assist with familiarisation and identification of any errors, we are consulting on the draft Standards version of the Taupō District Plan before it is made operational. This gives our regular users an opportunity to try out the plan in draft, and spot any errors that may have been missed.
