Plan Change 20 Rezone Area Q from Rural Environment Area to Residential A Environment Area

This Plan Change intends to rezone Rezone Area Q from Rural Environment Area to Residential A Environment Area directed by the Framework for Growth (FFG).

• Read the Framework for Growth

Status: A Plan Change is currently being investigated.

Area Q is situated between Wills Road and Airport Drive to the north of State Highway 3 (Devon Road), and is shown in Map 1H from the FFG.

Any rezoning of Area Q is influenced by the Strategic Transport Study, and in particular the proposals within Map 13 of this document to extend Parklands Avenue through Wills Road to Airport Drive and to realign Airport Drive to the De Havilland Drive intersection with SH3.
