No appeals were lodged in relation to Plan Change 19 and, at its meeting on 23 February 2012, the Council resolved to approve the plan change and make it operative on 12 March 2012.

Background

The Council owns land which is zoned as a neighbourhood reserve, but is not well used because it is isolated and it has poor visibility.

Council proposes to rezone the land as two industrial titles and one residential title, and to create an esplanade reserve adjacent to Jenkins Creek. This will make better use of this land, while still providing for recreation and access along Jenkins Creek.

Public information

Further submissions to Nelson Resource Management Plan Proposed Plan Changes are public information. Your further submission will be included in reports, which are available to the public and the media.
