We are in the process of amending the District Plan so this land can be used for housing.
We proposed some changes for how the former Terrace End Bowling Club site might be used in the future. Following consultation in mid-2021, Council has decided to repurpose this land for housing.
The Terrace End Bowling Club merged with the Northern Bowling in mid-2020. The existing building faces security and compliance risks that mean it will need to be demolished. This freed up the site to consider what its future use could be.
Initial consultation in June-July 2021
Before making a formal decision on the future use of the site, we asked you for feedback on our preferred option and the alternatives outlined in the statement of proposal. You can read this below, along with a summary of the submissions we received.

Next steps
To achieve Council's preferred use, we'll need to amend the District Plan to rezone the balance of land to residential.
We incorporated this zone change into our medium-density residential plan change, which is still under way.
