Submission to Napier Proposed District Plan
Summary
- TSA has not actively participated in local district plan submissions, however, we recognize the paramount importance of housing for the well-being of vulnerable whanau in the community. Understanding the potential impact of the proposed district plan on Napier’s housing and consequently on our residential services, we express specific concerns regarding the Residential Care Facility Definition. We anticipate that both existing and future residential services will be categorized as residential care facilities. We propose the removal of “charitable institution” from the definition, as we believe these provisions particularly GRZ-R6 and Consent Processes could hinder our operations and impede our capacity to support the vulnerable whanau in the Napier community.
