The purpose – and therefore the objective – of Plan Change 77 is to provide additional land for residential housing in the Murchison township and to provide for rural residential living opportunities in the wider Murchison area. This is proposed to be achieved by rezoning land identified in the Future Development Strategy 2022 for residential and rural residential expansion in the Murchison area. This is responding to region-wide issues around the need to provide for population growth. This is also responding to strong feedback from the Murchison community on the current lack of Residential and Rural Residential zoned land in the Murchison area which is available for development.
The Hearing for Plan Change 77 Growth - Murchison was held on Friday 16 December 2022 at the Tasman District Council, Council Chambers, starting at 1 pm.
