Plan Change 42

This Plan Change was heard by independent commissioners (Alan Watson and Terry Brown) on 3 & 4 March 2008.

The commissioners recommended approval of the Plan Change with modifications (for Council initiated Plan Changes commissioners make recommendations to Council who make the final decision).

These recommendations were adopted in full by Council with its decision being notified on 25 August 2008. This decision has subsequently been appealed and the Plan Change is now in the Environment Court appeal process.
