The Nelson City Council has resolved to amend the Nelson Resource Management Plan by way of a Plan Change, pursuant to Clause 5 of the First Schedule of the Resource Management Act 1991. The Council has resolved to proceed with notification of this plan change.

The plan change (proposed change 06/04) proposes to rezone a 5 metre strip of land adjacent to the Railway Reserve, Stoke shown on Planning Map 29 (right hand) from ‘Industrial’ to ‘Residential’. Several other amendments are proposed to ensure that the proposed provision is fully integrated into the existing planning framework.

Public participation process

The process for public participation in the consideration of the proposal under the Act is as follows: After the closing date for submissions the Nelson City Council will prepare a summary of submissions. This summary will be publicly notified; there will then be an opportunity to make a further submission in support of or in opposition to the submissions already made. A public hearing will then be held (if applicable) and Council will give its decision on the proposed change, together with its reasons for accepting or rejecting submissions. Following the Council's decision, any person who has made a submission has the right to appeal the decisions on the proposal to the Environmental Court. Following the Council’s decision, replacement pages for the NRMP will be made available online, and to subscribers.

Any person may make a submission on the proposed change, or a ‘further submission’ either in support of or in opposition to a submission.
