Updated planning rules for Nelson Airport operative
New planning rules for Nelson Airport and the surrounding land came into effect on 14 July, becoming part of the operative Nelson Resource Management Plan, the document that guides how land across the city can be used.
The change, known as Private Plan Change 30 (PPC30), was requested by Nelson Airport Limited. At its meeting on 2 July, Council resolved to make the change operative from 14 July, and the Resource Management Plan has been updated accordingly.
PPC30 introduces a new Airport Zone made up of three precincts: a core area covering the runway and aviation activities, an environs area for supporting business activities, and a coastal area covering nearby coastal and river margins.
The change also updates the rules that manage aircraft noise. These rules are designed to prevent new noise-sensitive activities, such as housing, from being established near the airport, where aircraft noise could affect residents over time.
