Proposed Variation No. 55:

Resource Management Act 1991 Christchurch Proposed City Plan Proposed Variation No. 55

Outdoor Advertisments

The Christchurch City Council has prepared Variation No. 55 to the Proposed Christchurch City Plan.

The nature of the Variation is as follows: Variation 55 specifically addresses the outdoor advertisements provisions of the City Plan and the current operational difficulties experienced in consistently administering these provisions. The variation proposes a review of the policy framework with regard to the display of outdoor advertisements; clarification to key rules, terms and definitions; correction of errors and omissions; and additions to address concerns raised by referrers to the Plan.

The Variation and Assessment can be inspected during normal opening hours at any of the Council’s Service Centre offices. For details of your nearest Service Centre, please telephone 941 8999.

Any person may make a submission on this Variation. Submissions must be in writing and in the prescribed form (Form 3) in the Resource Management (Forms) Regulations 1991 or similar. Forms are available from the Council Offices listed above.

Once all submissions have been received, the Council will prepare and publicly notify a summary of the submissions. All the submissions will be available for public inspection. There will be the opportunity for anyone to make a submission in support of or in opposition to any of these submissions. A Council hearing will then be arranged to consider all submissions and decisions will be made. Anyone who has made a submission will have the right to attend the hearing and present his or her submission. Generally, anyone who has made a submission also has the right of appeal against a Council decision to the Environment Court. Once all submissions and appeals have been resolved the Proposed Variation will be made operative.

Note:

Any submission that has already been made on a provision in the Proposed Plan affected by this Variation is deemed to be a submission on this Variation.

From the date of public notification of a Variation the Proposed Plan shall have effect as if it had been so varied.

The closing date for submissions is Friday, 12 October 2001, at Civic Offices and any other Council Office before 5.00pm. Dated at Christchurch this 13th day of September 2001
