Plan Change 31

Notification Date: 11 August 2023

Operative Date: 23 February 2024

At its meeting on 14 December 2023 Council agreed with the Hearing Commissioners recommendation and approved Plan Change 31 with no amendments.

Background

On 4 May 2023, Council adopted a request for a Private Plan Change for Nelson Junction as Plan Change 31. Council adopted this plan change request as it wanted to make the changes in this area because there are now many other large format retailers on site. Supermarkets are similar in character and effect and should not be excluded.

Plan Change 31 amended Schedule N in the Nelson Resource Management Plan (NRMP) as follows:

Deleted Rule N.3(3) which excluded supermarkets from the list of controlled activities in the Nelson Junction Area.

Deleted a reference to Rule N.3(3) in Rule N.5, which makes supermarkets a non-complying activity.

Deleted the definition of ‘Supermarket’.
