And so it is that this first time blogger and town-planner-wannabe has finally selected a topic...mapping how the controls, regulations and provisions of the Auckland City Council District Plan - Isthmus section, and the Auckland Regional Council Regional Plan, impact the way water is incorporated into the lives of Aucklanders.
From experience, plans and their provisions are hard to interpret, so I will attempt to show spatially what the rules and regulations mean to different areas and water users across Auckland.
I'm then going to take a stab at predicting and portraying the future implications of these provisions, and will look at how these line up with what the Auckland Councils' intended future of water would look like.
And here. We. Go.
