Nelson City Council Senior Analyst, Chris Pawson, introduced the report and noted corrections to the report, that the application date in section 2.8 should have read 9 September 2022 and that the headings in the options table should have been:

Option 1: Adopt the FDS as presented with this paper - attachment 2. Minor edits or omissions able to be made/corrected jointly by the Councils’ Mayors and Chief Executives.

Option 2: Joint Committee requires further changes to the FDS and decides to adopt a revised FDS at a later date

Option 3: Require further changes to the FDS and adopt now with the Mayors and Chief Executives of both councils authorised to approve final amendments to give effect to the changes

Councillor Maling moved Option 1 and Councillor McGurk seconded.

Mr Pawson and Tasman Environmental Policy Manager, Barry Johnson, answered questions on the impact of the recent weather event had on potential development sites, what future impact on water flow development areas may have and if there were opportunities in the process for the community to provide submissions.

Minor amendments were identified and officers confirmed these would be addressed.

Additional questions were addressed on when the strategy would become operative, if council was affirming development in high risk areas and if the  Future Development Strategy was in line with the national adaptation plan.

Attendance: Councillor Bowater joined the meeting at 10.16 a.m.

Clarification was provided on at risk areas and when a multi criteria assessment was undertaken. It was noted that the scores of the sites identified under the Future Development Strategy potentially may change slightly following the recent weather event but not enough to be removed entirely from the strategy.
