What is a designation?
A planning technique used by Ministers of the Crown, local authorities and network utility operations approved as ‘requiring authorities under s167 of the RMA. Only requiring authorities can seek designations for land.
A designation is a form of ‘spot zoning’ over a site, area or route in a district plan. The ‘spot zoning’ authorises the requiring authority’s work and activity on the site, area or route, without the need for land use consent from the TA (s9 of the RMA does not applying ).
Requiring authorities can only make a designation where they are finacially responsible for the project, work or operation on the land and Minister is satisfied it is appropriate.
For government assets.
