Declaration and classification of land as reserve: 12A Roxburgh Cres

Under section 14(2) of the Reserves Act 1977, Palmerston North City Council gives notice of our proposed intention to pass a resolution declaring the land described below to be a Reserve and to classify it as part Local Purpose (Road) and part Recreation reserve.

Description of the land

Council owns a parcel of land located at 12A Roxburgh Crescent, Hokowhitu legally described as Part Lot 2 DP 60866 contained in Record of Title WN31C/75, being an area of land between Roxburgh Crescent and Manawatū River, including part of the stop bank.

The land nearby is proposed to be redeveloped into a residential zone – this is being consulted on as part of proposed Plan Change E - Roxburgh Residential Area. To do this, we are proposing to declare and classify the land as a Reserve to:

• provide additional width to the planned road in the redevelopment which will enable provision of on-street car parking for Manawatū River users; and
• classify part of the land for recreational purposes allowing us to maintain public access for the use and enjoyment of the area.

Have your say by 4pm, 19 November 2024

Anyone can comment or object to the proposal to declare the land as a Reserve and classify it as part Recreation and part Local purpose (road). Objections must be in writing. The closing date for objections is 4pm, 19 November 2024.

More information and forms are available on the consultation page.
