Submissions on the proposed Te Puawai Plan Change have now closed. |
The Invercargill City Council has adopted a private plan change request to the Operative District Plan.
Proposed Plan Change 1 seeks to rezone the 70.78ha site at 514 Tramway Road, 426 Rockdale Road, and 380 Rockdale Road, Invercargill. The land is presently zoned Rural, with an Outline Development Plan area overlay. The Outline Development Plan provides for urban development of the site through an approved plan change. The proposed plan change involves changing zoning and associated District Plan provisions as follows:
- The majority of the site is proposed to be zoned Residential 1, with the remaining residential areas comprising a new medium-density Residential 1B zone surrounding the commercial core of the site, and main transport routes.
- A retirement village precinct is proposed over part of the Residential 1 zone area.
- A Business and Neighbourhood Shop Zone is proposed toward the centre of the development site.
- Recreation and stormwater reserve areas are proposed in several areas throughout the site.
- New District Plan provisions, such as objectives, policies, and rules, are proposed to manage subdivision and land development within the site.
