Proposed Plan Change G: Aokautere urban growth
This proposed plan change will guide future growth and urban development in Aokautere.
Proposed Plan Change G was notified on 8 August 2022. It seeks to rezone a new greenfield growth area in Aokautere for residential development and inserts an accompanying structure plan and provisions (objectives, policies, and rules) into the District Plan.
A hearing for this plan change will be held in 2023.
Some rules take immediate effect
On 25 August 2022 the Council made an application to the Environment Court to make rules in Proposed Plan Change G take immediate legal effect, pursuant to section 86D of the Resource Management Act 1991. The Environment Court issued a decision on 25 October 2022 granting the Council's application and ordering the rules to have legal effect from the decision date.
