7.4. If the Waimakariri District Council considers that amendments to documents and instruments prepared under other legislation, including the Resource Management Act 1991, Local Government Act 2002, the Reserves Act 1977, and the Land Transport Management Act 2003 may be necessary to implement the Recovery Plan, it must state this in the draft Recovery Plan and describe the nature of those amendments. The Recovery Plan may identify further programmes of work to be undertaken to enable these amendments to be made.

7.5. The Recovery Plan must take into account, but shall not make changes to:

7.5.1. the Crown’s zoning decisions (that is, the basis on which properties were zoned as red or green by the Crown and the decision to make an offer to purchase properties only in the residential red zone);

7.5.2. any voluntary Crown offers to purchase properties in the residential red zone (including those covered by the Residential Red Zone Offer Recovery Plan); and

7.5.3. the review of the Land Use Recovery Plan.

The Waimakariri District Council may hold public hearings, but is not required to. The Waimakariri District Council must consider the Christmas / New Year period when determining when it will consult with the public.

8.4. The Waimakariri District Council must ensure that the draft Recovery Plan clearly illustrates the intended long-term uses of the residential red zone, and is supported by:

8.4.2. a summary of consultation undertaken and analysis/explanation of how the consultation and engagement process(es) have informed the preparation of the draft Recovery Plan;

8.4.3. an impact assessment, including an analysis of recommendations using an appropriate impact assessment methodology and explanation of how that informed the preparation of the draft Recovery Plan; and

8.4.4. an assessment of the proposals with regard to relevant statutory and non-statutory instruments, including the New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement 2010, the Canterbury Regional Policy Statement, the Mahaanui Iwi Management Plan, the Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998, the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act 2011, the Resource Management Act 1991, and relevant Waimakariri District Council strategies and plans.
