   ...and in fact if you include costs such as fencing and water supply, it’s in excess of a million dollars. We would like to make the point that short term consents of 15 six years cannot sustain the investment required to improve water storage, environmental flows and irrigation efficiency. Everyone recognises that this is the right thing to be doing. It does seem bizarre that the ORC wants to set up a regime through Plan Change 7 to maintain the status quo when all parties agre...

This is particularly important when it comes to in-situ subdivision because of the sensitivity issues that arise, which the Court set out in earlier decisions. The subdivision yield must be a product of environmental benefit. Rural activities may remain a more appropriate outcome than in-situ development and the council will need to address that on a case by case assessment.
