What is Proposed Plan Change 3 - Urban Growth?
Rangitīkei District Council is proposing changes to the Rangitīkei District Plan 2013.
The following amendments to the District Plan are proposed as part of Proposed Plan Change 3 - Urban Growth:
- Amendments to the General Residential Zone, Rural Lifestyle Zone and Subdivision Chapter to provide greater opportunity for urban intensification, implementation of a structure plan and removing existing barriers to better enable urban growth.
- Amendments to the Planning Maps to identify a new Residential Intensification Area for Marton, Bulls and Taihape, to enable more intensive infill development in walkable distance from town centres and local amenities.
- Amendments to the Planning Maps to rezone areas of General Rural Zone and Rural Lifestyle Zone land to Residential, on the urban fringes of Marton and Bulls.
- Introduction of a new Marton North-West Structure Plan Area to help guide development in a large area of land proposed to be rezoned on the periphery of Marton.
