Wellington City Council has reviewed the Residential and Suburban Centre chapters of its District Plan. These are the policies and rules that determine what activities can take place and how people can build and modify their properties.

As part of this review, the Council publicly consulted from 8 December 2008 until 1 April 2009 on possible District Plan changes. Following public consultation, Council officers looked at the comments and suggestions received and produced a summary report on the consultation and feedback.

Progress & Appeals Period

A combined hearing was held for submitters between 26 April 2010 and 11 June 2010. The hearings committee completed their recommended decision which was adopted by Councillors on 29 September 2010.
