But New Zealand was a shock when she returned in 2019. “I had always said to people, no, New Zealand's a clean green place. We always get raised to pick up our rubbish,” she says. “And then I got home and I was like, it's terrible."

A number of groups attended and noted that they were struggling to understand the range of new changes , different to what the community was told about in 2022. It seems the new option may be better for general residential but makes it harder for medium and high density communities. In high density it will be very difficult to add onto your home or add one storey units , and the height goes up from 21 metres to 26 metres permitted.
Frankton East Resident Group 9 ( FERG ) would appreciate it if there are any planners or lawyers that could help the community group. But the time is short.
Please ask the council what the new changes may mean to your home by going online to PC12 and putting in your address or ask at HCC.

Major change has been proposed in two Hamilton council plan changes-called Enabling -
i.e. Intensification ( P/C 12 ) as result of the National policy Statement on Urban Development,
and in Historic Heritage ( P/C 9)
The character and identity of Hamilton’s suburbs will be affected.
HCC have said the existing district plan already allows for sufficient new housing.
Do you know about HUGS (Hamilton Urban Growth Strategy)?
The changes in P/C 12 will affect Hamilton’s suburbs for years to come and will take affect
immediately
which includes three storey housing developments and above across new medium and high density
zones of the city with limited resource consent. Recently the proposed rules have been changed
again with heights increased in medium (3 – 5 storeys) and high (26 meters and above)
If you are interested in knowing more or joining with others who have submitted
to these plan changes you are welcome to attend.
