Waimakariri District Council has accepted for public notification a District Plan change request from the Waimakariri District Council under part 1 of the first schedule of the Resource Management Act 1991. In conjunction with the Plan Change, a Notice of Requirement to designate the site for use of airfield activities has also been lodged.  Details of the Plan Change and Notice of Requirement are set out below.

Plan Change P045

This change seeks to amend the District Plan provisions to provide for limitations on development within the proposed 55dBa L_dn noise contour lines and the Obstruction Limitation Surfaces associated with the existing and future use of Rangiora Airfield. The purpose of the plan change is to insert provisions into the District Plan to align Obstacle Limitation Surfaces with current runway lengths, and to require noise sensitive activities (new dwellings or additions to existing dwellings) within the 55dBa airfield noise contour to be insulated from aircraft noise, to prohibit noise sensitive development within the 65dBa airfield noise contour, and to require noise from aircraft operations to not exceed 65dBa L_dn outside the 65dBa L_dn airfield noise contour.

Notice of Requirement for Designation

The notice of requirement application seeks to designate the whole of the Rangiora Airfield site at 219 Merton Road Rangiora, being RS 38634 for airfield purposes, as well as the adjoining land within the 65dBA L_dn noise contour in other ownership. Addresses and Legal descriptions of the sites in other ownership are 172 Priors Road, Lot 5 DP 410643, 80 Priors Road, Lot 2 DP 426606, 207 Merton Road, Lot 1 DP 410643, Ashley River Riparian Area, Crown Land, 385 Lehmans Road, Pt RS 33396 and Closed road SO 5157.
