About the private plan change

On 15 December 2020 Dunweavin 2020 Limited lodged a private plan change request with Council. The request seeks to change the Operative Selwyn District Plan by rezoning approximately 13 hectares of rural land to residential land. This would enable approximately 155 residential sites.

On this page you can find all the information on the plan change request, including material that has been made available at each stage of the application process.

Variation  1 to PC76

On 20 August 2022, Council notified Variation 1 to Plan Change 76 to the Operative District Plan. This variation is required by the Government’s new building intensification rules to allow for more housing and at greater heights, in relevant residential areas.

Council notified its decision on Variation 1 to Plan Change 76 on 19 August 2023. Those parts of the private plan change that were altered by the Council’s decision to accept the recommendations of the Independent Hearings Panel, become operative on 28 August 2023.
