One Plan Supporting Documents

These information sheets have been developed to help the Region's resource users to understand and use the One Plan. They should be read in conjunction with the relevant provisions in the One Plan.

'Documents incorporated by reference' are publications which have been referred to in Part II of the One Plan, and that have standards or rules that have to be complied with (that is, they have ‘legal effect’). The following is a full list of documents incorporated by reference. Note that when a document has a specific publication date, only that version has legal effect; more recent versions or amendments do not replace it.

Older versions of the Proposed One Plan, reports that informed its drafting, submissions and the evidence presented to decision makers.

​Section 35 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) requires regional councils to monitor the state of the environment of the region and the efficiency and effectiveness of policy statements and regional plans.

The following documents support the Plan Change 2, and more broadly focused freshwater planning. They include evaluation of the One Plan's nutrient management provisions, and the technical reporting that informs the planning processes that follow. Reports used in the evaluation ('section 32 evaluation') of plan change proposals can be found here.
