The Council has received a private plan change request from Memorial Avenue Investments Limited (MAIL). 

The request seeks the rezoning of around 24.55 hectares of rural zoned land bounded by Memorial Avenue, Russley Road and Avonhead Road to Industrial Park Zone (Memorial Avenue) to enable a mixed use industrial business park, including industrial, office, retail and hospitality activities.

The Council’s district plan review process is governed by an Order in Council which requires any private plan change requests received during the review to be referred to the Independent Hearings Panel.  The Panel’s secretariat has directed the Council to notify the plan change request as a proposal to change the existing district plan.

The Panel’s decision on the plan change request will also become part of the Christchurch Replacement District Plan (the proposed district plan). 

The Council has notified the plan change request and it is now open for submissions.

More details on the proposal and how to make a submission are available on the website at www.ccc.govt.nz/planchangerequests.  Submissions close on Friday 30 January 2015.
