The Palmerston North City Council is proposing to exchange cemetery land under the Reserves Act 1977 with neighbouring land owned by Summerset Villages Limited.
The proposed land being exchanged by Council (Lot 1 on deposited plan 66449) is approximately 3 hectares. This is part of the undeveloped land held by Council for future development of the Kelvin Grove Cemetery. This is outlined in red.
The land being exchanged by Summerset Village (Lots 6 and 7 on deposited plan 532320) is approximately 5 hectares, located between Stoney Creek Road and Kelvin Grove Cemetery. This is outlined in blue.
The proposed land exchange is aimed at future-proofing the cemetery provision as the city continues to grow. The area of land exchanged not only provides a larger area for the cemetery development, but it also secures future access from Stoney Creek Road.
No monetary transactions will occur between the parties for this arrangement.
Submissions are open until 4pm on Friday 19 July.
