MOTUEKA

Public feedback on the Motueka West and Central Development Draft Plan Change has been extended to Friday 10 June 2011.

West Motueka, between Pah Street and King Edward Street, has been identified as providing an opportunity for significant future residential and business development in an area close to the heart of Motueka.

A shortage of industrial sites has caused some pressure to use rural land on the Motueka Plains. In the draft plan change new industrial sites are proposed in the area between King Edward Street and Green Lane. New residential and business zones will also be provided to allow for more intensive residential and large format retail developments. The papakainga zone around Te Awhina marae is proposed to be extended.

A major new feature of the area will be the development of a greenway from Whakarewa Street towards the Motueka clock tower. The greenway will have a combined recreation and stormwater management purpose.

Because services have not been fully upgraded in west Motueka the new zoning will be deferred until the services are able to be provided.

In central Motueka a small extension of the commercial area is provided to the north, east and south of Decks Reserve.
