Hearing for Nelson South Plan Change 18

Date: 31 October - 1 November 2011

Nelson City Council, Tasman District Council and the community have been working together to plan for the development of the Nelson South and Richmond East area. This follows on from the Nelson Urban Growth Strategy (2006) that identified this area as having potential for residential development.

After background research and consultation with the community, proposed changes to both Council’s Resource Management Plans have been developed. Tasman District Council has tackled the Richmond East area and Nelson City Council has looked at the Nelson South area. The changes proposed for the Nelson area, collectively known as Plan Change 18 are as follows:

• Rezone Areas C and D and the lower portion of 187 Champion Road and 203 Champion Road from Rural to Residential
• Rezone 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D Hill Street and the upper portion of 187 Champion Road from Rural to Rural - Higher Density Small Holdings Area
• Apply a Services Overlay to the proposed Residential and Rural - Higher Density Small Holdings Area zones.
• Apply an Esplanade Reserve on both sides of the western arm of Saxton Creek
