Sustainable Development Plans
The Matakana and Pt Wells/Omaha Flats communities have been involved in a series of public meetings and focus groups to define their future direction.
Through this process the community provided us with their views and vision for the future. They have told us what is important about their place and what must be protected and enhanced. These thoughts and ideas have helped shape the development of the Matakana and Pt Wells/Omaha Flats Sustainable Development Plans which have now been adopted by Council.
The adopted Plans are available for purchase from the Warkworth Service Centre and Orewa Office for a cost of $30. They can also be viewed online by clicking below and at Rodney Libraries.

What is a Sustainable Development Plan?
The Sustainable Development Plans consider local community aspirations and values, in the context of achieving a sustainable environment and economy for future generations. The prime purpose of the Sustainable Development Plans is to define a vision and strategy to manage future growth. The Sustainable Development Plans aim to:
- Reflect the community’s vision for the future
- Set out how much growth and where it can be accommodated
- Guide infrastructure planning for growth and development
- Provide a framework for sustainable economic and social development
Next step
The next step is to promote a formal change to the District Plan to incorporate elements of the Plans and put in place “live” zonings.
The District Plan change process is a statutory (legal) process that will involve public submissions and if necessary a right of appeal to the Environment Court.
