We're reviewing the Tairāwhiti Resource Management Plan (TRMP) as our current plan is outdated. It no longer meets legislative outcomes, our community's needs and our obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi. As the single combined TRMP is so large and diverse, we're updating the sections as a series of plan changes shown below.
The TRMP is a combined unitary plan under section 80 of the Resource Management Act (RMA), meaning it guides the use of our natural and physical resources, including land development.
