The extent to which all stormwater drainage features that form part of the stormwater drainage network are physically and legally protected from future developments that could adversely affect the efficient operation of the network. ii) the extent to which the subdivision project has taken into account changes in land cover; and proposed measures to avoid, correct, or mitigate the effects of these changes on stormwater flows and water quality. iii). Consideration of existing and reasonably anticipated future land use changes within the watershed of the subdivision. vi).

The general provision of the law is that where an allocation of less than 4 ha is established in connection with the water areas listed above, an esplanade reserve of 20 meters in width must be established. Where an allotment is 4 ha or more, the Act provides that a planning rule may require an esplanade reserve or esplanade strip to be set aside and that a resource consent may vary or change the width of the esplanade reserve or strip. Values that contribute to natural character include the natural function of the water body, aquatic and adjacent habitats, and water quality.

The law gives the Council the right to take an esplanade reserve of up to 20 meters wide when land adjacent to the sea or the major rivers and lakes of the district is subdivided into allotments with an area of less than 4 hectares.
