Plan Change 7 seeks to better protect and maintain indigenous vegetation while still providing for its clearance, where it is small scale and low impact, to provide for the continuation of farming activities. It will also amend the policies and rules around the type and size of native trees and plants (indigenous vegetation) that can be cleared generally across the district, and within areas of existing pasture (otherwise known as improved pasture) on coastal farmland.
The rule amendments proposed in Plan Change 7 relate to areas of significant indigenous vegetation and areas of significant habitats of indigenous fauna, meaning they have immediate legal effect on notification in accordance with Section 86B(3) of the Resource Management Act 1991.
