Preparing Further Submissions on Proposed Policy Statements and Plans

After the closing date for receiving submissions on a proposed policy statement or plan, the council will summarise the submissions received. This summary will be publicly notified and made available for inspection.

The following persons are then able to lodge further submissions in support or opposition to the submissions already lodged:

  • Any person representing a relevant aspect of the public interest. This is likely to include public interest environmental groups.
  • Any person that has an interest in the proposed policy statement or plan greater than the interest that the general public has. This is likely to include owners of land and users of resources directly affected by plan provisions. It is also likely to include iwi and hap? where their interests are directly affected.
  • The local authority itself
