The Minister for the Environment has declined to refer this project to an expert consenting panel for fast-track consenting under the Covid-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting Act 2020).

Project ID

2021-078

Applicant

Mike Greer Homes Canterbury Limited & LMM Investments 2012 Limited

Project summary

To subdivide approximately 64 hectares of land to create approximately 188 residential lots and a balance lot containing naturalised streams, wetlands, stormwater basins, landscaped areas and open space, and to construct a housing development comprising approximately 217 residential units and associated infrastructure.

Location

240 Spencerville Road, Ouruhia, Canterbury.

Reasons for decision

The Minister for the Environment cannot be satisfied that the project meets the referral criteria under section 18 because the project may include prohibited activities. Even if that issue were to be clarified, the Minister would not favour referral, and considers that it would be more appropriate for project consenting to go through standard RMA process.
