Q. What Does the One Plan Include?
A. One Plan will be a combined Regional Policy Statement and Regional Plan dealing with matters Horizons is responsible for under the Resource Management Act (RMA) 1991. Its eight themes are:

• Issues of Significance to Iwi
  
• Land
  
• Water
  
• Living Heritage (includes biological diversity, landscapes and natural features).
  
• Air
  
• Coastal Environment
  
• Waste and Contaminated Sites
  
• Natural Hazards

In keeping with the RMA's general principles, One Plan's policies and regulations will seek to protect landscape, ecosystems and heritage, while encouraging regional development in an environmentally responsible manner.

Q. How can I get a copy of the proposed One Plan?
