Auckland Draft Unitary Plan
Draft Plan
In March 2013 Auckland Council published a draft plan. This plan will replace the existing plans produced by the bodies that preceded the Auckland Council. It is the only planning document that will operate for the operation of the RMA in Auckland.
This page is a temporary page to illustrate the archaeological heritage aspects of the draft plan and to enable debate on the changes proposed.
Printed versions of the plan are rare (and very expensive) - It is described as a e-plan and realistically that is the only way to look at it.
Advice is to try to get it on two screens alongside each other - one for the maps and one for the text
