Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

The law says you must submit a scheme plan to the council when you are subdividing land. You need to follow the rules for subdividing land. A scheme plan is a plan that shows how the land will be divided.

The council will look at your scheme plan to make sure it meets the rules. You can find more information about the rules for subdividing land in the Resource Management Act 1991. This law was changed on 1 October 1991.
