A 69.4 Hectare development in Havelock North, which will include between 350 and 400 houses, will help ease pressure on the Hawke’s Bay region’s house market.
The development is the first to use the government’s new ‘Streamlined Planning Process (SPP). The SPP allows local authorities to make changes to their district plan and fast-track rezoning of land.
The Hastings District Council has been working with government departments to ensure local services can cope with the projected population increase.
