Tauranga City Council Draft City Plan/District Plan
Tauranga City Council prepared a draft City Plan (previously known, and in District Council areas still is known, as a District Plan).
In December 2009 it called for submissions. When writing the draft the staff stated that the Network Utilities Section Chapter 10 would not cover Amateur Radio Aerials and that they should be covered by the relevant residential Zones. Unfortunately aerials were omitted in the Zone rules; so aerials would be restricted to the standard zone rules and limited to 9m, if the rules were not amended. Tauranga Emergency Communication Group (Inc) Branch 88 wrote a 53 page submission justifying a proposed set of rules to be included in the rewrite.
Tauranga CC is now calling for further submissions on the initial 1024 submissions. Closing date is 4pm 1st April 2010. TECG (Inc) has prepared a proforma submission on its and NZART's submission. It is a Word doc, so that you can add your details, and amend the submission. You can gain copy of the proforma submission by request from ???.
