Proposed Plan Changes 73 and 74: Omnibus 2 Amendments and Special Housing Areas

You are invited to submit on the following proposed amendments to the Tasman Resource Management Plan.

Change 73: Omnibus 2

This Change:

  • makes minor amendments to correct errors or anomalies,
  • makes simple adjustments to improve clarity of interpretation or implementation
  • removes redundant items where these are no longer required
  • changes rules which result in different permitted activity allowances for various activities
  • updates various zones
  • removes unnecessary rules
  • extends rules where these are inconsistently applied across the district
  • adjusts locations of some mapped Plan items
  • changes site specific rules now redundant.

Change 74: Special Housing Areas

This Change proposes to rezone five areas within Richmond and Pohara.  The purpose is to rezone land that has been approved and consented through the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act 2013 (“HASHAA”) for residential development on land that is not currently zoned Residential.  It proposes to rezone the land so that it is appropriately zoned to reflect the approved land uses - essentially it is a ‘tidy up’ so that the zoning of the land reflects the approved land use.

Availability of proposed amendments

The proposed amendments are available to view at the Council’s Richmond, Takaka and Motueka offices and libraries. Submission forms are also available in these locations or can be completed electronically.

Submissions

Any person may make a written submission but, if the person could gain an advantage in trade competition through the submission, then the person may do so only if the person is directly affected by an effect of the proposal that:

  • adversely affects the environment; and
  • does not relate to trade competition or the effects of trade competition.

Submissions must clearly indicate support or opposition to the provisions, the decision that the submitter wishes the Council to make (with reasons), whether or not the submitter wishes to be heard in support of the submission and an address for service or contact address.

Submissions can be sent to:

Submissions close 4.00pm, Tuesday 9 February 2021.
