This Manual sets out the processes and standards that are expected to be followed and met whenever any development project is undertaken in accordance with Hamilton City Council’s District Plan.
The Manual also applies to four neighbouring district councils, namely Waikato, Waipa, Otorohanga and Waitomo who adopted, or intend to adopt in conjunction with proposed Plan changes, this Manual as their own engineering standards in 2006. These Councils have added a rural supplement as Volume 5 to outline the variances and/or additional design standards or technical specifications for subdivisional and contract works within these districts.
Waikato District Council have also added a Waikato-specific Addendum to Volume 5.
Therefore, whenever the terms “Hamilton City Council”, “HCC’s District Plan”, or any other reference to requirements of the Hamilton City Council are referred to in this Manual, these should also be interpreted as meaning the requirements of the relevant district council on which the works are being carried out, except where indicated otherwise in Volume 5. Any ambiguities between volumes should be addressed to the relevant district council. |
