Bin Enquiry FormThis plan change became operative on 8 June 2016.
As part of Hutt City Council’s District Plan rolling review programme, Council has embarked on a review of the network utility provisions in the City of Lower Hutt District Plan.
The plan change proposes to bring the provisions for network utilities in to line with the National Policy Statement on Electricity Transmission (which relates to the National Electricity Grid) and the Wellington Regional Policy Statement. The Plan Change also proposes to give effect to the National Policy Statement on Renewable Electricity Generation by introducing a new General Chapter providing for renewable energy generation. While renewable energy generation is not a network utility, it is timely and appropriate to address both of these national policy statements through the same review process. It is also considered timely to concurrently review all the other network utility provisions, as these have been in place for some time.
Council has worked on creating this plan change as a joint project with Upper Hutt City Council. Upper Hutt City Council have notified their own plan change to the Upper Hutt City District Plan (Plan Change 38). The plan changes have been publicly notified concurrently.
