At yesterday’s Central Otago District Council meeting councillors accepted the recommendation of an independent hearings panel to allow private plan change 21.
Fulton Hogan sought the plan change to rezone 120ha of land at Parkburn Quarry to allow a range of urban zoning as the quarry is nearing the end of its life.
In February, the panel of two independent commissioners, Gary Rae and Rosalind Day-Cleavin, together with Central Otago district councillor Ian Cooney, heard Fulton Hogan wanted to convert its Parkburn Quarry, which borders Pisa Moorings to the west, into 543 lots for residential settlement.
It also wants to have a retail area and industrial zone.
