Workshop on preparing submissions on district plan change to allow more housing around Pukerua Bay

Porirua City Council is proposing to change the District Plan to allow housing subdivisions around Pukerua Bay. They have published a variation to the District Plan that will allow that to happen and want the community’s feedback on the proposed new plan. You can read the proposed District Plan here.

Submissions on the changes are due on Monday 12 September.

PCC has organised a ‘Friend of the Submitter’, Emily Bayliss, to help submitters. Emily is a qualified planner who is fully independent and has had no involvement in developing the Proposed District Plan.

A brief introduction from Emily is available here.

We have organised for Emily to come to a session at the RSA on Sunday 28 August, to give some advice on making submissions on the variation. This will be a good opportunity to identify the key issues to submit on, how to write a useful submission and what PCC needs to hear from us.

You can contact Emily separately by emailing FriendofSubmittersPDP@poriruacity.govt.nz or by ringing 021 532 284.

You can also talk to the Council planners about the changes. If you would like to make an appointment to talk to a member of the planning team please email dpreview@pcc.govt.nz or call on 237 5089
