As Wairarapa continues to develop, it’s important to protect the things we value. The Wairarapa Combined District Plan impacts almost every aspect of living in our region.

It sets out what activities you can do and what you will need a resource consent for. It controls any adverse effects your activity could have on neighbours and vice versa.

The District Plan also protects the uniqueness of our district, by looking after our cultural and historic heritage, our natural environment and indigenous biodiversity. And it gives effect to Government policies such as managing urban development, protecting productive land, providing affordable housing, safeguarding our freshwater sources and helping communities plan for natural hazards and climate change.

How Should We Grow? We Want To Know!
