About the plan change
This private plan change aims to rezone approximately 10.7 hectares of land at 84 and 100 Hobsonville Road from Future Urban, Business – Light Industry and Open Space – Informal Recreation zones to a mix of Business – Light Industry, and Residential – Terrace Housing and Apartment Buildings and Mixed Housing Urban zones.
Approximately 3,851m2 of 84 Hobsonville Road is owned by council and zoned for open space purposes to provide an esplanade link to Rawiri Stream. This land was approved for disposal by the council's Finance and Performance Committee on 19 May 2022 (subject to statutory requirements) and is sought to be rezoned from Open Space – Informal Recreation to Business – Light Industry as part of the private plan change.
The proposal also includes:
- The extension of the operative Hobsonville Corridor Precinct – Sub-precinct C to include 84 Hobsonville Road (to be zoned Business – Light Industry)
- The application of the Stormwater Management Area – Flow 1 (SMAF-1) control across the entire plan change area
- The introduction of a new precinct, 'Hobsonville Grove' over 100 Hobsonville Road that is proposed to be zoned for residential purposes. The precinct provisions have been drafted to restrict the development and subdivision of the land where wastewater, water and transport infrastructure, and network connections are not provided or guaranteed.
The precinct will also enable the establishment of a community open space and a small-scale neighbourhood centre to cater to the day-to-day retail needs of future residents of the precinct.
No amendments are proposed to the existing Auckland Unitary Plan provisions as part of this plan change request.
