Historic heritage provides a connection to the past and enables an understanding and appreciation of history and culture. Historic heritage can include buildings, structures, sites or areas that evoke or are associated with historical or cultural significance.
The District Plan is required to recognise and provide for the protection of historic heritage from inappropriate activities that may adversely affect the significant values associated with historic heritage.
This chapter sets out objectives, policies and rules to protect significant historic heritage values associated with identified buildings, items (including monuments or other structures) and areas with significant historic heritage values.
Please note: this chapter contains some provisions that have immediate legal effect. These are identified in the Proposed District Plan with a red outline and a gavel icon.
