Peninsula Golf Course plan change and
rezoning
UPDATE: 8 August 2013
The Plan Change 159 hearing was held from Tuesday 9 April to Friday 12
April 2013. The Commissioners have now approved the Plan Change, which allows for the development of a 520 Lot
Master Plan.
PLDL Limited have made an application to amend
the Rodney Section of the Auckland Council District Plan (Plan Change 159), to
change the zoning of the 44ha Peninsula Golf Course site at Red Beach from
‘Future Urban’ to ‘Medium Intensity Residential’. In addition a Scheduled Site
and Master Plan will detail the proposed future development of the site.
When the Plan Change is successful the
Peninsula Golf Club will relocate to a newly developed golf course at Wainui
Road. This proposal is the single most significant event in the Club’s 55 year
history, following its very humble inception over half a century ago.
In 1956 the newly formed Peninsula Golf Club
purchased three pieces of farmland to establish the current golf course. At
this time there was some residential development in the area, but the majority
of the surrounding area was farmland. The Club could not afford the land
purchases in total, so approximately 64 residential sections on the road
perimeter of the course were developed for sale, to in-part fund the purchase
of the land.
Over time, further golf course land has been
sold for a variety of purposes, and today, the request for a change in zoning
is proposed, to enable up to 520 residential units to be developed on the
current golf club land.
What
we’re doing
We are requesting a Plan Change to change the
zoning of the land from Future Urban to Residential. The request to
change the zoning is accompanied by a Master Plan which shows 509 residential
units (up to a maximum of 520) being developed on the site.
Why we’re
doing it
The Peninsula Golf Club can no longer afford
to stay where it is, and has elected to build a course in a new location.
Positive
outcomes of the rezoning
Rezoning of the land comes with a number of
benefits, including improved infrastructure, an effective stormwater system,
and a better environment for birdlife in the area.
