Whangarei District Council gives notice that it has prepared a summary of all decisions requested by people making submissions on the following proposed plan change:

Plan Change PC150 - Marsden City Limited Partnership

Private Plan Change 150 by Marsden City Limited Partnership seeks to:

delete the Marsden Primary Centre Environment (MPC) Chapter in the Operative District Plan.
reduce the industrial focus of the Marsden Primary Centre Environment which will increase available residential land to support the development of a sustainable and viable town centre.
propose zones from the Council’s recent Urban and Services Plan Changes as underlying zones.
insert a special purpose Marsden Town Centre Zone that is intended to apply to the higher order town centre in the north western portion of Marsden City.
apply a Marsden City Precinct with provisions aimed at coordinating development with the delivery of transport infrastructure, and a street network that provides for walking and cycling.
apply consequential changes to other Chapters of the Operative District Plan, such as the Noise and Vibration and Urban Form and Development Chapters.

It is the applicant’s vision that the Plan Change will provide a viable and sustainable town centre in the Ruakākā / Marsden Point area which integrates with surrounding commercial, mixed use and residential uses.

Further submissions closed at 4:00pm on 12 February 2021.
