The rezoning covers an area of approximately 155.9 hectares. The proposed Private Plan Change will rezone the area from Rural to Residential 3, 4A and Business 4, and create a Residential 8 zone.
The residential development will comprise of up to 700 new households within the Residential 3 Zone; 150 new households within the Residential 4A Zone; and a new Residential 8 Zone to provide for a possible school or retirement village or residential activities commensurate with a Residential 3 Zone if neither activity is developed.
