Planz has successfully obtained consents for a diverse range of rural tourism providers across Christchurch City, Banks Peninsula, and the Mackenzie District. Our experience includes securing approvals for jet boat tours, farm accommodations, boutique lodging, and unique rural experiences.

Notable projects include the Annandale boutique accommodation and Te Wepu Pods on Banks Peninsula, which offer unique farmland stays and a cellar door café. Planz works closely with clients to ensure these tourism ventures are sensitively integrated into their rural settings, enhancing the visitor experience while preserving the natural and cultural character of the areas.

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.
