Tainui Group Holdings (TGH) requested a change to Hamilton’s District Plan to rezone about 68ha in Ruakura to allow for housing. Plans have been made for about 1200 homes.
More than a third of the 68ha site will be set aside as wetlands and swales to manage stormwater. Provision has also been made for a shopping centre and a supermarket. The Tuumata block is located between the Fifth Avenue extension and the AgResearch campus.
The proposed changes to the District Plan include:
Submissions to Plan Change 15 were opened from 18 April to 17 May 2023.
Further submissions to Plan Change 15 were open from 12 June to 10 July 2023.
We received 4 submissions and four further submissions. There is now a formal process to follow under the Resource Management Act 1991.
Hearings for Plan Change 15 are due to be held in 2024.
A panel of commissioners will consider all the submissions and make recommendations to Council on the final plan change in 2024.
