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 2 November 2023
(Attachment A); and
1.1.2 The

Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020 – updated May 2022 (NPS-UD

(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
