The Development Code
The Development Code provides a means of compliance when designing, constructing and maintaining engineering works that are required:
- to fulfil conditions imposed by a resource consent,
- for works that fall within the requirements of the District Plan,
- if a consent is not required i.e. a permitted activity,
- for capital or maintenance works commissioned by Council.
The works apply to urban, rural residential and rural applications. Any alternative means of compliance submitted for approval (i.e. different design methods or philosophy or principles) will be considered on a case by case basis.
The Code is one document, divided into two main sections, Design and Construction
