PC20 District Plan Online Plan Change
Reference: PC20

Plan Change 20 made minor amendments to the District Plan text and format to allow the Plan to be accessed online as an electronic interactive document.

Transferring the District Plan into an online format was designed to make the document easier to use by planners and the public alike as the relationships between all parts of the Plan would be clearly shown.  This helps with user’s understanding of the desired outcomes of the Plan.
In order to transfer the hardcopy plan to an online version, some minor cosmetic changes were made to the text and formatting of the Plan.  The change in formatting was necessary because of how the information is stored in an internal electronic system and also how it is viewed and searched for online. 
 
The content of the Plan was not amended by this plan change; instead the plan change made minor amendments to the text and formatting of the document so that it could be transferred into an online format. 

Status: Operative
