Invercargill City District Plan 2019

As in every other district in New Zealand, Invercargill has a District Plan. This Plan is prepared under the Resource Management Act 1991 to manage land use, subdivision and development within the District. It identifies where activities can take place, what land can be developed and what natural and cultural features should be protected.  It is a Council document that not only helps Council fulfill its legal obligations and ultimately aims to promote the sustainable use of the District’s resources, but it can also be used to implement the community’s vision for the City into the future.

The District Plan was made operative on 30 August 2019.

You can access the individual parts of the Plan by clicking on the links below. The files will download as PDFs.

The Planning and Hazard Information Maps are available below in PDF format, but the information can also be viewed on Invercargill Maps should you wish to look at the information at a property-by-property level.
