Coastal subdivision review<br />
WAITOMO <strong>District</strong> <strong>Council</strong> is reviewing<br />
rural zone subdivision requirements in its<br />

A consultation document is available on the<br />
council’s website with copies sent to key<br />
stakeholders.<br />
WDC regulatory services manager John<br />
Moran says: “It’s (the document) not<br />
signalling any change in terms of the<br />
current rules, but rather ge[tting interested<br />
people to talk about what they see as<br />
the issues around subdivision <strong>so</strong> we can<br />
ab<strong>so</strong>rb the information, get the feedback<br />
and then draft a position for council to look<br />
at.<br />
“It’s the first consultation about<br />
subdivisions we’ve had in <strong>so</strong>me years.”<br />
Open days will be held on:<br />
Saturday, November 5, 9am – 12 noon at<br />
Te Waitere Boating Club; and Saturday,<br />
November 12, 9am – 12 noon at Mokau<br />
