Process

Council released the Rotorua Draft District Plan in April 2011 for public feedback. The comments received can be viewed under the "what do you think" section. Council will provide a summary of the comments before the end of the year. 

After reviewing the comments, a second draft of specific chapters will be made available for further informal comment before the plan is formally notified. This second round of informal comment is expected to commence from March 2012.

The formal  notification of the Proposed Plan is scheduled for August 2012, at which time the public will have an opportunity to make a formal submission. The notification process is shown in the following diagram:
