The Nelson Tasman Land Development Manual became operative 1 July 2019 and supersedes the Land Development Manual 2010. A revised version was issued on 16 November 2020. The councils consider this an important document for delivering the shared goals for affordable and resilient asset management while balancing community expectations for our environment.
The manual is Council’s engineering standards and forms the basis for design and construction of all Nelson City’s roads, drains, water supply and reserve areas. The inundation practice note is also referenced in the NTLDM which, among other things, provides guidance on floor levels for development in relation to inundation exposure.
