Home : News : Private plan change accepted
13 November 2007
The Hastings District Council has accepted an application for a private plan change for processing under the Resource Management Act 1991. The application made by Hill Country Pastoral Ltd in late May proposes up to 1000 dwellings with associated commercial development in the Ocean Beach area.
By accepting the application for processing the Council is satisfied the private plan change contains enough information for it to be processed under the RMA.
The Council’s Environmental Manager, Ian Macdonald, said accepting the application for processing is just the start of the process and does not point to the final outcome. The application must now be publicly notified and a public hearing held on any submissions made.
The Council is using independent planning consultants Montgomery Watson Harza to prepare the report on any submissions and make recommendations to independent commissioners who will then make the final decision on the merits or otherwise of the application.
It is expected the application will be open for public submissions sometime in the next three months.
