1.1 Purpose
of Report
The
purpose of this report is for the Council to adopt
the 2016 Review of the Heretaunga Plains Urban Development Strategy
(HPUDS2016).
|
At the Meeting
The following points were raised in discussion on this
item:
·
The number of low
costs housing units available for those living on the pension has been
shrinking and concern was expressed that this trend may continue. Napier has
also lost a lot of state housing and it was reiterated that engagement with
central government to negotiate for greater public housing provision again
should be a priority.
·
This strategy is
about sustainable use of the Heretaunga Plains land; there has already been
ad hoc development and the strategy is intended to guide and manage
development and prepare for growth in a meaningful and future focussed way.
·
It is believed
that the risk of Hastings District Council or the Hawke’s Bay Regional
Council not adopting the strategy is low; there has been a significant
investment of time and resource in drafting and consultation on the strategy
and the guidelines are believed to be the best option for the area (for
example, infill alone would not provide for all growth in the future). The
Strategy has also made provisions for high density retirement housing in
anticipation of a significant need over the next 30 years. It was also noted
that many regional strategies such as the Regional Transport Strategy and
other long term Council documents (LTP, District Plan) are informed by the
HPUDS strategy.
·
The strategy has
provided well thought out sequencing for development. A careful balance will
need to be struck between development and maintaining the fertile soils of
the region.
·
Other issues, such
as odour, from particular industries may need to be addressed as development
expands.

of Report
The
purpose of this report is obtain Council approval for three new street names within
stages X, XI, XII and XIII of the Te Awa Estates residential subdivision

At the Meeting
In response to questions from Councillors it was
confirmed that the Arrow River is a small river in the Otago region.
It was noted that it was unfortunate that more local
rivers were not included in the list of approved names as it would have
worked well to have a local name for this area of development.
