Regional Plan for Northland

Northland’s Combined Regional Plan brings together three former regional plans – covering water and soil, air quality, and the coastal environment – into one document. It sets out the rules and policies for how we manage land, water, air, and coastlines across Taitokerau.

Council staff, tangata whenua, stakeholders, and the wider community worked together through submissions, hearings, and Environment Court processes to shape a plan that reflects local values and national direction.

The plan provides greater clarity and consistency for resource users and helps to protect the natural environment for future generations.

Previous plans developed in 2003 and 2004 no longer have legal effect. These are available in our regional plans archive.

The plan sits under the Northland Regional Policy Statement.
