Plan Change 12

Napier City Council adopted Plan Change 12 to the Operative City of Napier District Plan to provide for a new Mission Special Character Zone.

The zone replaces existing zones across 288.6ha of land owned by Marist Holdings (Greenmeadows) Limited (MHL), on the land best known as the site of the Mission Estate Winery and concert.

Under the new zone, the land is divided into four precincts: residential, landscape and visitor, productive rural, and rural residential.

Development objectives for the future of the MHL land have been formulated in consultation with Council. These development objectives are to:

  • Protect the visual amenity value of this landscape as a backdrop to Taradale and the City of Napier and in particular the integrity of the skyline.
  • Provide connectivity as a walkway link across the Western Hills.
  • Provide connectivity as part of an ecological corridor within the City Reserves Network.
  • Provide a different style of residential opportunity in Napier.
