  As a result of the review of current policies and rules specific to landscapes, we’ve identified the following issues:

  • Existing protected areas and features have been identified on an ad hoc basis and not as part of a comprehensive review of the entire district.
  • Current landscape areas aren’t considered to be adequately protected from the adverse effects from a number of activities, including quarrying, earthworks, mining, and pastoral farming in the High Country.
  • Current provisions in the District Plan don’t follow best practice or are not fully aligned with regional requirements.
  • There is an overlap in between the different landscape areas in the Port Hills, which is confusing and difficult to appropriately manage.
