Planz provided full RMA planning input for the development of the Central Bus Interchange.

This involved preparing an Outline Plan of Works, presenting to the Urban Design Panel, and liaising with City Council planning staff throughout the project. Additionally, we identified and secured the necessary air and water discharge consents from the Canterbury Regional Council, addressing soil contamination issues under the National Environmental Standard.

Christchurch City Council released additional regulation (plan change 4 or pc4) to control the establishment and operation of short term visitor accommodation in Christchurch City (including Banks Peninsula). That regulation was considered by Airbnb Australia pty limited (Airbnb) to be unworkable, unduly complex and inefficient. The council’s stated objective of these rules was to mitigate the impact of short-term rentals on neighborhoods, addressing concerns such as noise, traffic, and parking.
