Tasman District Council (TDC) Urban Growth Co-Ordinator, Jacqui Deans, supported by Nelson City Council (NCC) Senior City Development Adviser, Gabrielle Thorpe, presented the report.
Ms Deans noted a correction to the membership for the Mayoral Liaison Group in that it would also include TDC and NCC Deputy Mayors. It was further clarified that for NCC the delegations were such that the role of the planning committee Chair would in fact require attendance of the Chair of the Environment and Climate Committee and the Chair of the Urban Development Subcommittee.
Ms Deans and Ms Thorpe answered questions about the report.
Elected Members provided the following feedback to officers:
· Include definitions of ‘constraints on development’, and what these may be, in the consultation document.
· Consider how to align population projections in the future, and relevant data sources, for NCC and TDC
· Consider future options for a joint growth model
· Identify and align NCC and TDC assumptions for shared long-term infrastructure planning
· Address the question of housing affordability and sustainability in the appropriate document, noting this may be the action plan related to the FDS.
