An update on when I am likely to appear before the Unitary Plan Hearings Panel on my submission to the Unitary Plan.

According to the Hearings Panel site (http://www.aupihp.govt.nz/) I am due to give my presentations to the Hearings between March 2015 and March 2016. OUCH over the long time frame but it seems looking at the schedule it seems what I am presenting on goes in a sense of logical order. Meaning apart from the parking regulations piece, I start with the context over the Super Metropolitan Centre zone, flesh out the detail, then finally in 2016 go through where I would like the SMC Zone and why.

Now you can get your hearing schedule from the Excel sheet (there is a How To guide under it) over on the Hearings Panel page. It is 9MB in size so it is designed to be looked at on a desktop or laptop computer rather than a mobile device. As the Excel sheet is also interactive I wont be loading it into Scribd either.

 

This is what the hearing schedule looks like when you nut it down to a specific submitter – in this case mine:
Find my hearingThis tool will help you to find out which hearings you will be invited to.  Please read the How to use the find my hearing tool on the home page of our website.

Please note:
This information is correct as at 22 October 2014.
This information may change.   Sometimes submission points are withdrawn or moved to another hearing.  Dates for hearing events are likely to change – you should always check the hearing schedule on the hearings page of our website.

NP = not proposed; TBA = date to be advised
