This layer displays designations identified in the Taupō District Plan. A designation is a provision made within the District Plan, under Part 8 of the Resource Management Act (1991). A designation allows a requiring authority to use a piece of land for a particular purpose. This purpose may include land to be secured for public works and utilities or other projects facilitating the establishment of what are often necessary or essential services for the District. Land which is designated is “protected” - it may not be subdivided, used or developed in any way which would prevent or hinder the public work without the prior consent of the requiring authority.
