This work is managed by the Environmental Policy Team.

The Environmental Policy Team manages the Tasman Resource Management Plan (TRMP) specifically aiming to balance two key aspects.

Balance development with environmental protection.

The TRMP safeguards nature (waterways, wildlife, landscapes) while allowing sustainable
resource use for agriculture and construction. This means responsible practices that minimize environmental impact.

Thriving and resilient.

The TRMP ensures the Tasman district is thriving and resilient today without compromising the future.

Tasman Resource Management Plan is set to move online.

TRMP online will offer a more efficient and user-friendly user experience incorporating electronic map layers providing users seamless access to planning rules and regulations. Search and hyperlinks mean professional and community users will be able to access searchable data previously not possible with the print version. TRMP online is planned for roll out in spring 2024.

For the present, physical copies of the Plan (either the text and/or the planning maps) are no longer available for purchase. The Plan is available below and it can be downloaded and printed. If you currently have a copy of the Plan, updates are provided via email for you to print.

If you want to be kept informed of updates to the plan or if you no longer require electronic updates, please contact:

Narissa Armstrong, Environmental Policy Administrator, via e-mail: [email protected] or phone (03) 543 8630.
