Changes to the way you view plans
We're working to improve our ePlan, so for now the latest versions of plans are available as PDFs on plan webpages. We've also added permanent links on these pages to view Planning Maps on the Canterbury Maps website.
We'll let you know as soon as ePlan is back up and running.

Change 1 - Dryland Farming
This Plan Change aims to ensure that dryland farming in the Hurunui Waiau zone is not unreasonably constrained by the "10% rule" in the Hurunui and Waiau River Regional Plan.
