Mapua and Ruby Bay: Draft Plan Change

The Council proposes to amend the Tasman Resource Management Plan to allow for future expansion of Mapua township and Ruby Bay away from low lying land and the inundation and erosion prone coastline between Mapua and Ruby Bay on to more elevated land northwest of the township. There will be opportunities for an increase in residential density on some sites close to amenities in Mapua as well as provision for new interconnecting walkways, open spaces and business sites.
