SLIDE 5
Key Issue 1 – Ruakura Open Spaces: Fixed v Indicative
- Submitters propose that all open spaces should be indicative
Response
- A zoned approach (fixed) for the greenway corridor aligns to the BOI decision and
is appropriate
- Retention of the ecological link and neighbourhood park aspects of the open
space network provide a sufficient level of flexibility to ensure intended open space outcomes are achieved
Recommendation:
No change
- Ruakura Open Space Zone is retained, with only amendments identified in the
S42A Reports supported
SLIDE 6
Key Issue 2 - LDP information requirements
Submitters seek amendments to Appendix 1.2.2.25:
- Delete new text ‘total area provided for each open space purpose’
- Delete new text ‘each neighbourhood reserve shall be an area of approximately
0.5ha and serve a catchment area of approximately 500m radius’
Response
- Existing information requirements provide clarity on the ability of proposed open
spaces to adequately accommodate the intended multiple function
Recommendation:
No change
- The open space information required as part of a Land Development Plan
application is retained, with only amendments identified in the S42A Reports supported.
SLIDE 7
Key Issue 3 – Strategic Infrastructure and Open Spaces
- Submitter seeks to include Strategic water and wastewater infrastructure
in open spaces – within the Transportation Network section of the Plan. Response
- Any provision for strategic water and wastewater infrastructure within
- pen space areas needs to consider the impact on the intended open
space functions and ensure that these functions are not compromised.
- Wastewater infrastructure is not provided for within the activity status
table 15.3, and is currently not anticipated to be located in the Ruakura Open Space Zone. Recommendation: No change
