1. Purpose Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The
purpose of this report is to provide the Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan
Hearing Panel with:
1.1.1 A schedule of
submitters who wish to speak to their submission on 27 October 2023 (Attachment
A); and
1.1.2 The written
submissions of all submitters scheduled to speak to the Hearing Panel on
27 October 2023 (Attachment B).
1.2 Note
that:
1.2.1 The Greater
Christchurch Spatial Plan will satisfy the requirement of the National Policy
Statement on Urban Development 2020 – updated May 2022 (NPS-UD 2020) to
prepare and make publicly available a Future Development Strategy (FDS).
1.2.2 Clause 3.15(1) of the
NPS-UD 2020 provides that when preparing or updating an FDS local authorities
must use the special consultative procedure in Section 83 of the Local
Government Act 2002 (LGA 2002).
1.2.3 Section 82(1)(e) of
the LGA 2020 requires, as one of the principles of consultation, that
“the views presented to the local authority should be received by the
local authority with an open mind and should be given by the local authority,
in making a decision, due consideration”.
1.3 When deliberating on submissions, the Hearing Panel should keep in
mind the decision-making powers of the Whakawhanake Kāinga
Komiti and Greater Christchurch Partnership members and the
scope of the consultation materials. Significant changes from the original
proposal may require further consultation.
