Building
If you are considering a building project
in or around your home - whether it be renovating, starting
from scratch or general maintenance, it is best that you speak
to the Hastings District Council before you start any work.
Resource Consents
When you want to build or use your land in
a way that does not comply with the rules in Hastings District
Council's District Plan, you will need to get special permission
from Council. This permission is called a resource consent.
Hastings District
Plan
The District Plan guides the way the Hastings
District is developed and seeks to control any negative effects
of development through rules about the type of building, subdivision
or land use that can occur in different zones. ![]()
