Pursuant to Section 58I 3)e) of the Resource Management Act 1991, the South Waikato District Council also hereby gives public notice that on 9 September 2021 it resolved to amend the South Waikato District Plan to provide consistency in part with Clause 14.1 of the National Planning Standards 2019 (NPS). The amendment consists of replacing the previous definition of “Building” in Chapter 9 of the Plan with the definition of “Building” from the Definitions list in the NPS, which is:

“Building means a temporary or permanent movable or immovable physical construction that is:

• partially or fully roofed, and
• is fixed or located on or in land, but
• excludes any motorised vehicle or other mode of transport that could be moved under its own power”.
