Public notice on the release of the decision report.

Hearing 4 primarily considered submissions on the proposed greenfield rezoning sites that were notified in Variation 2 and submissions on sites that were subject to a preliminary assessment in the plan evaluation report (s32 report), but rejected for various reasons, which were also open for submissions. On 8 February 2023 the second decision on Variation 2 was released, which covered the matters considered at Hearing 4. Variation 2 second decision - greenfield rezoning sites (Hearing 4) The Hearing Panel issued its first decision report on the matters addressed at Hearings 1-3 (changes to provisions and the intensification rezoning areas) on Tuesday, and its second decision report on the matters addressed at Hearing 4 (greenfield rezoning sites) on Wednesday 8 February 2023.

A more comprehensive updated plan for the next 30 years will be developed separately as part of the next Spatial Plan, which will be jointly prepared with the Otago Regional Council (ORC).ģ Waters upgrades to support the additional residential capacity proposed in Variation 2 have been included in the Dunedin City Council’s 10-year plan. Variation 2 is not a full review of the 2GP’s residential section’s rule framework or zoning across the city.

Variation 2 will provide for additional housing capacity to ensure we don’t have a shortfall in the medium term, while ensuring enabled growth will not exceed the capacity of 3 waters networks and achieves good urban design outcomes.

Variation 2 was initiated due to housing capacity monitoring identifying a likely shortfall in housing capacity over the medium term (10 years). Variation 2 is a change to the proposed District Plan (2GP) which includes a suite of changes to enable additional housing capacity through specific rule and policy changes and through rezoning specific sites. The Dunedin City Council has been working on changes to the Second Generation Dunedin City District Plan (2GP) to provide for more housing.
