Operative Plan Change 13 – Amberley

Plan Change 13 provides for the future growth and development of Amberley Township through introducing a new Objective, Policies and Rules specific to Amberley Township.  An enlarged business zone on the eastern side of SH1 is proposed to be re-zoned.  Possible areas for potential future residential and industrial development are also identified in the plan change.  The merits of residential or industrial zoning on the areas identified as potential future residential or industrial development will be considered once the full potential effects on the environment are understood.

Hearings panel's recommendations

The Council adopted the hearings panel's recommendations on 17 February 2009.  As a result the proposed change has been amended from that which was notified.  The relevant sections of the District Plan with the proposed changes incorporated are shown below.  These changes were subject to appeal.

Environment Court

On 17 December 2009 the Council signed off changes to the District Plan as directed by consent orders from the Environment Court. The new provisions became operative on 18 January, 2010.
