On 30 October 2024, Waikato District Council published the “Waikato District Plan - Operative in Part”.
This version of the Waikato District Plan identifies the provisions which are now operative, and the provisions that are still subject to appeals and therefore are not yet operative.
Council regularly reviews the annotations against the provisions. As a result of the latest update (on 20 March 2025), annotations have been removed where they no longer apply. However, it has become apparent there are some annotations which should have been applied but were not and had no other appeals against these provisions. The provisions are: HIZ-R17, NOISE-R10 and RPZ-S2. As such, there are some annotations which have been added to provisions.
Updates to the Waikato District Plan - Operative in Part will be published at regular intervals on this website, and any future updates will be dated accordingly.
Waikato District Council has taken reasonable care to accurately identify the provisions that remain subject to appeal based on the information available at the relevant time. Waikato District Council is not liable for any claims, misrepresentation, incompleteness, inaccuracies or losses incurred as a result of identifying provisions associated with the annotation of provisions as being potentially subject to appeal. It is the responsibility of Plan users to identify whether the provisions they rely on are subject to appeal.
