Bunnings Limited made an application for a private plan change which was notified on 23 April 2009 with submissions closing on 27 May 2009.
The Plan Change relates to the Bunnings site, located on the western side of Milne Drive, Paraparaumu (behind the Shell Service Station on Kapiti Road).
- The plan change seeks to rezone the site from Open Space to:
Industrial/Service – this would apply to the northern end of the site (approximately ¾ of the site); and
- Residential – this would apply to the south western portion of the site, adjoining the rear of the properties along Derwent Close and Compass Court
Site specific provisions are also proposed to allow for the development of the site, and to control some of the potential effects. Amended and new definitions are also proposed to be incorporated into the District Plan.

Amendments to the Dog Bylaw 2008
Summary of Information (23 pages, 1.9Mb)
Submission Form - Dog Bylaw Amendment (2 pages)
When passing the Dog Bylaw 2008, the Kapiti Coast District Council agreed to investigate additional inland dog off-leash exercise areas which could be included in the Bylaw at a later stage. This investigation is complete and the Council has approved the release of a series of proposed inland dog off-leash exercise parks for public feedback.
Since the Bylaw’s adoption the Council has also received complaints about zone rules from dog owners along the Raumati/Paraparaumu Beach foreshore. The Council has agreed to review the dog zones along this part of the beach, and a proposed amendment to the current Dog Bylaw dog zones is also released for public consultation.
After the public consultation process, the Council will consider the submissions received and make a final decision on these proposed amendments toward the end of May 2009.
A slightly more detailed ‘Statement of Proposal’ can also be requested from all Council Service Centres.
The public submission process closes at 4.00pm on Friday 08 May 2009.

Kapiti Coast Rainwater and Greywater Code of Practice
The Kapiti Coast Rainwater and Greywater Code of Practice is now available for consideration and consultation. Comments must be received by 5.00pm on Thursday March 12, 2009.
Notification of Proposed Plan Change 64(C) - Miscellaneous Changes
The District Plan has a number of provisions which are either unclear or out of step with other industry standards. Miscellaneous changes are needed to the rules,standards and definitions of the District Plan to ensure that these provisions are kept up to date and achieve the aims of the objectives and policies.
Updates to some third party documents have led to some provisions in the District Plan relating to production forestry, parking design and radiation becoming out of date. There is also a lack of clarity about the definitions for dwelling, residential activities, accessory building and habitable rooms.
Greater clarity is also needed, about the role of the Medium Density Housing Design Guide when assessing resource consent applications. Further definitions are suggested to clarify what is meant by sunlight, bathroom, kitchen and self contained in the existing rules and standards.
For the above reasons it is recommended that a District Plan change be notified to address these issues.
Notification Report PC64(C)
Submissions on the plan change have closed. These submissins will be summarised and notified soon.
