PC18 - Nelson South

Status: Operative

The following proposed plan change was made Operative and has been incorporated into the Nelson Resource Management Plan (NRMP).

Nelson City Council, Tasman District Council and the community worked together to plan for the development of the Richmond East area. This follows on from the Nelson Urban Growth Strategy (2006) that identifed this area as having potential for residential development. After background research and consultation with the community, proposed changes to both Council’s Resource Management Plans were developed. Tasman District Council has tackled the Richmond East area and Nelson City Council also looked at the area.

Main Changes

The changes proposed for the Nelson area, collectively known as Plan Change 18 were as follows: Rezone 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D Hill Street and the upper portion of 187 Champion Road from Rural to Rural - High Density Small Holdings Area;

1. Apply a Services Overlay to the proposed Residential and Rural - Higher Density Small Holdings Area zones; and
2. Apply an Esplanade Reserve on both sides of the western arm of Saxton Creek.

Additional Final Amendments:

1. Alteration to the esplanade reserve requirements for sites that have subdivision approval; and
2. Addtion to the left hand planning maps to show a 'Proposed Road (Indicative Alignment Only)' from John Sutton Place to Hill Street North.
