Plan change for Maymorn
The council is seeking feedback on a private change to its District Plan that could allow up to 200 houses to be built on an old pig farm.
The owners of 74.5 hectares in Maymorn, known as Gabites Block, have applied to change the zoning from General Rural and Rural Production, to Settlement Zone.
Mayor Wayne Guppy says that the owners want to develop it for housing, which requires a change of zoning.
It is a private land change, which means it is the owners and not the council that are driving it.
Ultimately, it will be heard by independent commissioners and Guppy is expecting a lot of interest. Moves towards intensification always result in a heated response and he expects the proposal will get in some strong objections.
