Application by Marsden City Limited Partnership

Private Plan Change 150 by Marsden City Limited Partnership seeks to:

• delete the Marsden Primary Centre Environment (MPC) Chapter in the Operative District Plan

• reduce the industrial focus of the MPC towards an increased provision of residential land to support the development of a sustainable and viable town centre

• propose zones from the current Urban and Services Plan Changes as underlying zones

• insert a special purpose Marsden Town Centre Zone that is intended to apply to the higher order town centre in the north western portion of Marsden City

• apply a Marsden City Precinct with provisions aimed at coordinating development with the delivery of transport infrastructure, and a street network that provides for walking and cycling

• consequential changes to other Chapters of the Operative District Plan, such as Noise and Vibration Chapter.

It is the applicants vision that the plan change will provide a viable and sustainable town centre in the Ruakaka / Marsden Point area which integrates with surrounding commercial, mixed use and residential uses.
