Operative plan changes

At its meeting on 23 April 2009, the council approved the following plan modifications.

Plan Modification No 61: plan change - Glen Innes residential 6a and 8 rezoning

Plan modification 61 is a plan change that rezones properties located generally within a 10-minute walk of Glen Innes town centre to residential 8a and 8b, and rezones properties directly facing or opposite the new residential 8 zoned areas to residential 6a. The plan change also introduces special height limits of four and five storeys across part of the former Tamaki Girls College site, and applies flood limitation controls to address flood risk.

The plan change has been amended as a consequence of consent orders issued by the Environment Court on 21 July 2008 and 17 December 2008.

Plan Modification No 145 (including 145A): plan change - St Heliers Centre Plan

Plan modification 145 is a plan change which introduces a centre plan to St Heliers village to protect the character and amenity values of the village. The plan change applies to a defined area and introduces additional controls to development in that area. The plan change does not alter the underlying zoning of the properties within the centre plan area but means that development proposals will be considered against additional criteria when resource consent is required. Variation 145A corrected some mapping and text errors that were identified when plan change 145 was publicly notified. These changes were subsequently incorporated into plan change 145.

The plan change has been amended as a consequence of consent orders issued by the Environment Court on 20 June 2008 and a decision issued by the Environment Court on 26 February 2009.

Both plan changes will become operative on Friday 9, May 2009.
