80H: IPI must show how MDRS are incorporated

You could also call this:

"Councils must show how new planning rules include density standards and objectives in their plans."

Illustration for Resource Management Act 1991

When a territorial authority makes its Intensification Planning Instrument, it must show how certain rules are included. You need to know which parts of the instrument incorporate density standards and objectives from Schedule 3A. The authority must also identify which parts of the district plan are replaced by these new rules. When the authority identifies these provisions, it does not form part of the instrument. You can remove this identification once the instrument becomes operative. The authority can do this without needing any further approval. The instrument must follow sections 77M, 86B, and 86BA of the Resource Management Act 1991, as well as section 80F(1) or (2), sections 77M, 86B, and 86BA. The density standards are in Part 2 of Schedule 3A. The objectives and policies are in clause 6 of Schedule 3A.
