30. Contents of plan



(1) A special area plan must-

   (a)  identify the land management issues to be dealt with in the plan; and

   (b)  state the program of action to be taken to deal with those issues, and
        the costs and benefits of that action; and

   (c)  state the targets to be achieved by that action; and

   (d)  allocate responsibility for taking that action and for bearing the
        costs of taking that action; and

   (e)  provide for the review of the plan.

(2) A special area plan may-

   (a)  specify the most suitable land uses for the special area, having
        regard to the public interest; and

   (b)  state what land in the area can be used for what purpose; and

   (c)  exempt land or a class of land, or a land owner or a class of land
        owners, from section 20(2); and

   (d)  identify the need for land use conditions under Division 3.

(3) If a special area plan identifies a need for land use conditions it must-

   (a)  give a general description of the properties to which they are to
        apply; and

   (b)  state the general nature of those conditions; and

   (c)  give a general estimate of the total cost of compliance with those
        conditions, including any decrease in the value of land or financial
        loss likely to result as a direct reasonable and natural consequence
        of compliance; and

   (d)  provide a method for apportioning the total estimated cost of
        compliance between land owners and other persons or bodies who will
        directly benefit from the implementation of the plan and for
        apportioning that part of the cost to be borne by land owners between
        the properties to which the conditions are to apply.
