Important Jurisdictional Note

Most submission points (except for points allocated to the Eplan and Geographic
renaming pathways) allocated to this hearing topic raise matters that the
Independent Hearing Panel (the Panel) consider to be out of scope. Out of scope is
a term used to identify matters that cannot be included in the Proposed Auckland
Unitary Plan because they are outside of the jurisdiction of the Panel under the Local
Government (Auckland Transitional Provisions) Act 2010 and the Resource
Management Act 1991.

The implication of your submission point being confirmed by the Independent
Hearings Panel as out of scope is that a recommendation to reject your submission
point will be made to Auckland Council by the Hearings Panel following the hearing
on this topic.

If you disagree that your submission point is out of scope you are strongly
encouraged to attend the pre-hearing meeting to speak to this jurisdictional matter.
