The IDS will be regularly reviewed to ensure it provides the best design solution for Christchurch City Council assets. There will be two levels of review:
- The annual review will address amendments driven by changes in policy, changes in approved material specifications or revision of reference documents.
- The comprehensive review of the entire content of the IDS will be carried out at five yearly intervals.
These reviews will be carried out in accordance with the IDS Review Procedure held by the Council.
