We’re looking forward to seeing this work in progress finally underway!

Kia ora everyone,

A quick heads-up about the parking at 7 Fairway Drive (the old Bunnings site) and surrounding service lanes.

For the past year or so, plenty of you have made use of the space while it sat empty and that’s been great to see. Cheers for that.

But… as they say, all good things come to an end.

Construction is about to kick off, which means the area will no longer be available for parking;

🚧 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞, 𝟖:𝟎𝟎 𝐏𝐌

Any vehicles still parked on site or in the service lanes will be towed at the owner’s expense.

We know this might catch a few people off guard, and you’re probably wondering what’s coming next, we’ll share more on the development soon.

For now, we just need to get the site cleared and ready to go.
Please make sure you’ve shifted your vehicle before the deadline.

Thanks heaps for your understanding, exciting things are on the way!

Here is today’s FNDC meeting where Councillors considered whether to accept, reject, or modify the Independent Hearings Panel’s recommended changes to the Proposed District Plan.

For Kerikeri, all recommended changes were accepted, with no amendments proposed by any Councillor.

This means the following changes will proceed:

• A new Town Centre Zone (TCZ), allowing buildings up to 4 storeys, with some areas providing for up to 6 storeys.
• A new Medium Density Residential Zone (MDRZ) on quite a number of streets close to the town centre, allowing development of up to 3 storeys on smaller sections.
• An extension of the Mixed Use Zone (around the TCZ centre zone), allowing buildings up to 3 storeys, with some limited areas requiring retail or commercial activity at ground level.
