Proposed Marlborough Environment Plan 9 July 2025 – Operative in Part

Marlborough District Council gives public notice, pursuant to clause 20, Schedule 1 of the Resource Management Act 1991, that the Proposed Marlborough Environment Plan (PMEP) will become ‘operative in part’ on 9 July 2025.

The PMEP has been annotated to show which provisions are not yet operative. Those provisions are either still under appeal or are Regional Coastal Plan provisions awaiting the Minister of Conservation’s approval, pursuant to clause 18, Schedule 1. The PMEP’s seal page provides more details on the annotations and the colour coding used throughout the plan. Where a provision has not been made operative, the equivalent provisions of the Marlborough Sounds Resource Management Plan and/or Wairau/Awatere Resource Management Plan are still in effect.

The PMEP is available for viewing free of charge at www.marlborough.govt.nz

Online access to the plan is also available at:

• Marlborough District Council offices – Blenheim and Picton
• Libraries – Blenheim and Picton

If you have any questions on the plan, please contact the MEP team; Ph. 03 520 7400 or email MEP@marlborough.govt.nz
