Plain-English summary
Kawerau District Council received two submissions on proposed District Plan Change 5 and has published a summary of the decisions those submitters requested. Eligible people can now make a further submission supporting or opposing a matter raised in either original submission.
This is not a new opportunity to raise unrelated issues. A further submission must respond to an existing submission point and must also be served on the original submitter.
Why it matters
Plan Change 5 would zone land transferred into Kawerau District, update significant natural areas and introduce a Māori Purpose Zone.
Further submissions become part of the formal plan-change process considered before a decision is made.
