Partially Operative Selwyn District Plan 2020

The Council publicly notified the Proposed Selwyn District Plan on 5 October 2020. The hearings of submissions and further submissions were held between August 2021 and May 2023.

Decisions on submissions to the Proposed District Plan were publicly notified on 19 August 2023. Since this date, the Proposed District Plan is known as the ‘Partially Operative Selwyn District Plan’.

The ‘Appeals’ version of the ‘Partially Operative Selwyn District Plan’ shows all provisions that have legal effect and identifies those areas under appeal, where the previous district plan still applies.

The Appeals Version has been updated as appeals were resolved and more provisions became operative.

Parts of the Partially Operative Selwyn District Plan modified by the Council’s Intensification Planning Instrument to incorporate medium density residential standards (Variation 1) are operative from 28 August 2023. There is no right of appeal to the Environment Court on Variation 1 but decisions may be appealed to the High Court on a point of law.
