Quick Overview

The Hauraki Gulf Islands plan is designed to help you gain information regarding the Hauraki Gulf Islands Plan for Auckland City.
The District Plan has two primary components:

• The planning maps which indicate in graphic form the areas to which certain rules in the written text apply.

The written text should be read as a whole so that the common themes of the Plan and the relationship between the various chapters can be understood. There is a significant amount of cross-referencing in the text in order that repetition is avoided where possible.The most common form of navigating this site is as such:

Why Are The Map Images Slow To Load Over The Internet?
The map images are fairly large (30k-190k) to show enough detail to make them readable on a computer screen, helping users be able to identify correct roads, properties and city features. The map quality and readability was traded for size and loading speed, particularly for people viewing this over an Internet connection.
