The Ministry is seeking a planning practitioner(s) to develop 3-4 options for standardising the use of zones and overlays in the NPT. These frameworks would form a ‘core set’ of common zones and other SPTs, which could feasibly be included in a Template and which is appropriate for public consultation. These options are to be presented in a written report with supporting data, based on earlier research procured by the Ministry and a scan of current district plans.
We are seeking options that provide a foundation for consultation with stakeholders on the Template. If the Template includes zones and SPTs, this framework would enable more detailed content to be developed by either central or local government.

The framework options will ultimately feed into the section 32 requirements for the proposed NPT.

This procurement relates to the development of the proposed National Planning Template (‘the template’ or ‘NPT’). The template is a proposal under the Resource Legislation Amendment Bill introduced to Parliament in December 2015. The Government agreed to a new policy that allows for a national planning template in order to address concerns that there is too much variation between plans on topics and issues which are similar in nature and could logically benefit from standardisation. The intention of the template is to therefore provide greater consistency in the structure, content and delivery of District and Regional Plans in New Zealand.
