In brief, the private plan change request seeks to:

Change the zoning of former golf course land at Military Road/Hathaway Avenue/Boulcott Street from General Recreation Activity Area to General Residential Activity Area with provision for the establishment of a retirement village;
Change the General Residential Activity Area provisions to include additional policies that enable housing for the elderly on the site of the plan change and to include a Design Guide for housing for the elderly on the site;
Change the General Residential Activity Area provisions to provide for specified aspects of the development of a retirement village on the site as a restricted discretionary activity. This means that the development of a retirement village on the site would still require resource consent to proceed; and
Change the General Residential Activity Area provisions to provide for the height, bulk and location of the main care buildings and apartment buildings on the site.
Change the General Rules for Transportation to specify car parking and loading standards for retirement village development of the site.

On 28 January 2015 Council resolved to accept the private plan change request and start the statutory process.
