Rural Residential Strategy 2014
In this section
Council adopted the Rural Residential Strategy 2014 on 25 June 2014.
We have been investigating methods to sustainably manage rural residential activities within the eastern part of the District, particularly within the commuter belt with Christchurch City. These investigations have been undertaken partly to respond to demand for rural residential sections, but also to ensure that if this form of development occurs, then it does not undermine the sustainable management of township growth or the maintenance of the important rural land resource.
Rural Residential Strategy 2014
The adopted Rural Residential Strategy sets out the preliminary locations and requirements for managing rural residential activities within the portion of the district that is subject to Chapter 6 of the Canterbury Regional Policy Statement.
The Strategy is being implemented through the Land Use Recovery Plan Action 18 (viii) that contains changes to the District Plan and private plan change requests.
