IF YOU LIVE IN PAPAMOA, YOU MUST READ THIS!

Katherine from Papamoa Beach

Most of Papamoa is currently zoned as Suburban Residential.

Tauranga Council are going to turn PAPAMOA into HIGH and MEDIUM DENSITY HOUSING ONLY.
LOCALS CAN LODGE A SUBMISSION BY 23 SEPTEMBER.

Most of Papamoa is currently zoned as Suburban Residential.

Tauranga Council are going to turn PAPAMOA into HIGH and MEDIUM DENSITY HOUSING ONLY.
LOCALS CAN LODGE A SUBMISSION BY 23 SEPTEMBER.

BTW - Papamoa Beach Motor Camp has already been sold to an offshore resort development company who will no doubt turn it into a high storey resort.

What does this mean? No privacy or light in your own garden when your neighbour builds a 3 storey townhouse beside your home, no consent or consultation needed!

1. High Density:
• Building heights between four and six storeys (16m to 21m) in areas within a 5-10 min walk of some commercial centres. E.g. Papamoa Plaza and Fashion Island, nearly all of Royal Palm Beach, Golden Sands
• Permitted up to 3 residential units per site, and restricted up to 4 OR MORE residential units per site
• In terms of public notification for four or more dwellings an activity that complies with all the standards will not be publicly notified unless special circumstances exist.

2. Medium Density – The rest of Papamoa

• Building heights between four and six storeys (16m to 21m)
• Only 1 metre between buildings
• Permitted up to 3 residential units per site and restricted up to 4 residential units per site
• Setbacks
• at least 1.5m on front boundary
• at least 1m on side and rear boundaries

For both High and Medium Density there is No Requirement to provide car parking, but bicycle parking is required to support reduction of car-based travel. Imagine biking to work in the weather we’ve just had? Auckland is doing this currently, building high density housing with no parking, and it is a disaster for existing residents.

Copy and paste these links if you:
1. Would like to see how the plans affect your property

2. Want more information on what high and medium housing will look like
