2015 Page 3 Introduction Part 1: Introduction 1.1 This Waipa District Development and Subdivision Manual (the Manual), is part of a new integrated approach to development and subdivision within the Waipa District (the District). 1.2 The Manual is part of a suite of documents that will assist to deliver the future of residential, industrial, commercial, and rural developments and subdivisions that implement directions in the Waipa 2050 project. The Manual, together with the Waipa District Plan (the District Plan), seeks to retain the features that make the District desirable and introduces measures that will assist the District to accommodate additional growth in residential, industrial and commercial activity. 1.3 These new elements include the staging of new growth areas that are coordinated with appropriate provision of infrastructure, the requirement for a low impact design approach to infrastructure, the provision for areas of compact housing within town centres, and the requirement for an enhanced level of amenity through higher levels of urban design, particularly in the commercial centres of the District. 1.4 The basis of this Manual is the Hamilton City Council Development Manual (Hamilton Manual). Any future changes to the Hamilton Manual will be evaluated by Waipa District Council (Council) and changes made to ensure consistency between documents.
