New rules guiding Dunedin's development for at least the next decade will provide enough land for up to 1200 new houses. Six years after planning first began on the Dunedin City Council's second generation district plan (2GP), the final version of the 1600-page document is being released this morning. Both the older district plan and the 2GP are now operational but the newer plan is still subject to the appeals process. When the plan was released for formal submissions in September 2015, it drew 1055 public submissions and 452 further submissions. Dunedin was the first major metropolitan area in New Zealand which had gone through the full second generation plan process, he said.
