What is a District Plan

What is a District Plan?

The Dunedin City District Plan controls what people can do on their land and how it can be developed. It includes objectives, policies and rules. The main goal of the District Plan is to sustainably manage the natural and physical resources of Dunedin to meet the needs of current and future generations and to provide for their social, economic and cultural wellbeing and for their health and safety.

What is the 2GP?

Under the Resource Management Act 1991, we have to start a review of our District Plan every 10 years. The District Plan 2006 was first released in 1995 and became fully operative in 2006. A full review of the current Plan was started in 2012. This review has produced a Proposed Second Generation Dunedin City District Plan, which we are calling the 2GP. The 2GP is an entirely new Plan, with a new format, new zones, objectives and policies, and many changes to the rules.

On 19 August 2024 the 2GP was made partially operative except for appealed provisions.

On 17 June 2026 the 2GP was made fully operative and now supersedes the 2006 District Plan.
