Weston Lea Limited

The proposal is to develop approximately 105 hectares of land adjoining the western bank of the Waikato River in Peacocke, Hamilton for residential development and associated subdivision. The subdivision and development will provide for 862 dwellings on individual certificates of title. In addition, there are two large lots proposed adjacent to Peacockes Road to be developed in the future for a mixed use residential/commercial centre (development of these lots is not part of current applications). Earthworks, new roading, cycleways, walkways, additional planting within a retained esplanade, and three waters infrastructure are required to enable the development and a number of open space areas are included in the applications.

Applicant has requested public notification of the proposed development.

Public notification on Saturday, 1st September 2018. Submissions closed on Friday, 28th September 2018.
