Subdivision Code of Practice (CoP)

Tikaka Wawaetaka

Our Land Development and Subdivision Code of Practice (CoP) sets out the minimum standards that must be met for works and infrastructure constructed within a new development.

The applicable CoP to your development is listed within your consent conditions, however we encourage all developments where older versions are referenced to meet the 2025 CoP where possible. This is because the 2025 CoP provides requirements closer aligned with current best practice.
