DCC Rural Rules Review Extended

The timeframe for reviewing the Dunedin City Council rural and landscape zone planning rules has been extended.

Paul Freeland, at the DCC Planning team for this project, has confirmed that the DCC will look at any comments right up to release of the draft in March / April next year, but would prefer to receive comments in the run up to Christmas, as they are preparing the draft now.

Some of us in Blueskin Bay Watch have put in a submission advocating our values and opinions - a copy of which I have posted in the following comments to keep a record.

I urge anyone who has a stake in appreciation of the landscape in this region to put forward a submission to the DCC. There are links to draft area descriptions and questionnaires on the Consultation Register Page of the DCC website, but any comments in any form should be read and taken into account by the DCC - there is no requirement to follow a pro-forma.

If anyone wants to post a copy of their feedback to the DCC in the comments section, so we have a record of it, that would be great.
