Latest update
On 19 August 2023 Council notified decisions on Variation 1 to each of Private Plan Changes 68, 69, 71, 72, 73, 75, 76 and 78 to the Operative Selwyn District Plan (Part B of the Intensification Planning Instrument). There is no right of appeal to the Environment Court on these decisions. This is because they are mandatory variations through a new streamlined, intensification planning process.

Background
On 20 August 2022 the Council notified variations to those private plan changes to the Operative District Plan that were notified before the new building intensification rules came into effect (20 December 2021). This is to allow for more housing and at greater heights in relevant residential areas.
In Selwyn this means we are varying those private plan changes that have requested residential rezoning in Rolleston, Lincoln and Prebbleton:
