Rural Residential Growth Management

Planz has provided crucial planning advice and peer review in the development of the Selwyn Rural Residential Strategy, guiding the future growth of rural residential areas within the district.

This work involved preparing an officer report in response to submissions on LURP Action 18, which established the zone provisions and policy framework for managing rural residential development within the Greater Christchurch area of Selwyn District.

In addition to developing the strategic planning framework, Planz has prepared s42a officer reports and presented evidence on behalf of Selwyn District Council regarding several private Plan Changes. These plan changes have collectively facilitated the development of approximately 200 rural residential sites in appropriate locations adjacent to existing townships, ensuring that growth is managed effectively and sustainably.
