DRAFT STANDARD FOR COMMENT

Free to download from our website: www.standards.co.nz

DZ 4404 Land development and subdivision

This draft Standard is a revision of NZS 4404:2004 Land development and subdivision engineering. The revised draft Standard encourages sustainable and modern design that emphasises liveability and environmental quality in the development and subdivision of land, where these activities are subject to the provisions of the Resource Management Act 1991. The impetus for the review of NZS 4404 came from requests for changes and updates from the New Zealand Transport Agency, Local Government New Zealand, and a number of individual users of the Standard.
